    Well I made my reverse durso today.. I made it out 1-1/4'' piping and slipped it on and it worked wonders! the bubbling slowed down immensely and the water noise is almost nonexistent.. I want to thank everyone who turned me on to this "reverse durso" it worked wonders

    That's awesome! Glad it worked out for you. That's why Todd suggested it and also why I did the write up. Congrats on the solution and your handiwork.

    Woops, sorry. Ya, increasing diameter will decrease velocity. And decreasing velocity is what you want when dealing with bubbles. Easier to keep them where you want them. As far as like a restriction, pressure drops, velocity increases.
