yea, i was sitting here thinking about it and i'd bet that it helps settle some of the bubbles, but i'd also bet that some of the smaller ones would still get swept out the bottom and into the sump just from the swiftness of the flow...
i had another idea, that i think i'm actually gonna try... i'm gonna get like 4 or 5 of the 4-way pvc parts, and put them one after the next, that should slow the flow rate in each pipe down, and thus allow for more of the bubbles to float out..
the other thought that i had was to dump the water into something like a 4" pvc standing vertically in the sump, the water enters at about half height, and the bubbles can go up and out, and the liquid water could go down and out... more of a simi-stagnation pond kinda effect...
