Its a little hole about a 1/4" big or so,right below the water line on your return line from the sump. when the power goes out, gravity will pull water from the tank to the sump and flood your house.w/a hole there it will drain til air gets sucked in thru the lil hole breaking the siphon.just make sure your sump will hold the extra water.

Heres a pic. 1st hole was too low
