Hello - I have installed a garden sump-pump. In the photo you can see that I’ve replaced the Cloakroom-sink bend that previously went to the gulley with a Tee. Water in Sump vent hose now goes past the cloakroom outlet. Predictably the pump causes gurgling as it creates a partial vacuum going past the sink outlet and agitates the water in cloakroom sink trap.
I know I can fit an internal 32mm AAV but it wouldn’t be easy or pretty and would be a chew-on. I know I can’t fit a 32mm AAV externally owing to not being frost-rated??
There is No spigot on the side of the gulley-head to bring the vent pipe in under the soil and I’d rather not replace the gulley head unless I have to
Can I just fit a simple 32mm vent-cowl (no AAV just a ventilation cowl) to a 32mm pipe before the tee to constantly admit air outside?
Can anyone please suggest an easier ‘work-around’?
Thanks
