Observe the following construction:
The pump at the bottom was servicing the toilets and the remainder of the water was being pumped to the top left container through a liquid vent (the valve is open).
The right hand side of the pipes got blocked at one stage, and the pump refused to pump altogether, even though the left hand side was clear. I would imagine that it would still pump into the left hand pipe, despite a blockage on the right hand side.
If you're wondering why the connection looks weird, it's because I thought the issue might be with a T split, so I tried another variation. However, both caused the same problem.
Once the blockage was resolved on the right hand side, it would start pumping properly in both sides again.
Split a liquid pipe in two and block one end, keeping the other end free running.
