wow this was like another language to me. the return was basically splitting into two lines each having a crapload of elbows. Heres an artistic rendition of what I'm talking about. Yes I know my talent is pretty impressive 
I will be using 1.5" pipe, I'm thinking spa flex will likely be the way to go anyways as hillegom mentioned, there will be less friction. As for the elbows that are actually part of the sea swirl, I had totally forgotten about those.
Thanks for the help guys, keep it going if you have any other suggestions! I've been living in submersible mag pump land for the past 5 years, its as far as I can think  |
Christy, I would suggest a gate valve between the sump and the pump and another on the return line. Very handy for setting your flow just how you want it.
