Today i did a test on all of my plumbing before bringing the tank into the house. While testing, my drains were blowing a crazy amount of air bubbles and it was super loud. I have dual overflows with 1"drain lines and 3/4" on the returns. Here is a vid i took. Any ideas what i can do to decrease this air volume? Thanks for the help.
 
Hey thanks for the quick response. So to be clear you are suggesting add a ball valve on both drain lines? Than i just adjust the valve until the bubbles stop?
 
The ball valves will raise the water level in your overflow. What is happening is air is being sucked into your overflow lines.
 
Gate valve not ball valve. Ball valves don't have to adjustment you need. Gate valves can make much small adjustments
