Built-in Overflow Problem

Then you have not reached the limit. Look up "durso stand
pipe"

Because any increase in flows causes the drain to gurgle constantly as
the air tries to bubble up through the falling water. Inserting air line
into the drain doesn't help. The water occupies all of the sir space in
the pipe until the air burps out.

I already have a Stockman pipe. See my responses to pszemol.

Yea I saw it after sending my post.

Just because your pipe makes gurgling noise does not mean
that it can't handle more water.

For example, if you were to unscrew your pipe from the
bulkhead, you could double the water flow, and still not
fill up the overflow.

Also, I like the durso pipe better.

If I were to go with a Durso design I would have been limited to a 1"
standpipe since fittings for any larger size pipe would not fit in the
overflow.

The thing is, that at your current flow you do not even need 1".
1" is needed for flow like 600-700 gph. You have about 300gph.
My Allglass 1" Durso, while "limiting you" to 1" would make it quiet
and still should perfectly handle the 300gph flow your pump makes.
