I bought and installed a utility tub and Flotec "laundry tray system" (sump pump in a box): the cesspool line is a few feet above the basement floor. Installation went well: the pump cycles correctly, the tub drains.
However, when I went to install the Oatey "in-line vent" in the vent hole of pump box I wound up thinking about the operation of the vent in this application. It seems to me that the inline-vent can NOT be used because the incoming water will attempt to compress the air in the box due to the one-way air flow of the in-line vent.
Is this true?
If so, is there any way of avoiding running a vent pipe to the outdoors?
Thanks ahead of time!
