ok guys I'm still in the planning stage of my sump setup and i was wondering if anyone had ever used the venturi effect to pull water from the fuge into the return line... If so what needs to be done to insure that it will work?

for those not familiar with this effect it is simply if you pass a fluid past a perpendicular (90 degree) pipe it will cause a vacuum pull fluids from the other pipe...
