Thank you!! Even I wish I had more time to just sit and watch! Not enough time to just enjoy!



I do have some bubbles after the baffles...not enough that I think it would cause this much in the display???But...maybe... it is the problem...??? I have tried shutting down the pump, filling and restarting with no success...not in the lines I don't think. Thanks Kev.
Those are small in size but high RPM pumps. Even smaller bubbles getting in to that high speed propeller would put to shame some skimmer pumps. Did you try raising the water level in the return area of your sump to that of your last baffle? If not give that a shot and monitor. Josh brings up a good point but at around 700+ GPH after head loss that is not excessive. You can try turning down your ball valve on the output of the pump to discern this.
