![]() I know you can dial the dart pumps down. Just wondering if it is better to do it on the outflow or intake side? I have one hooked up on a 2" intake and four 1" out. Getting way to much flow so need to back it off a bit.

![]() I think it would be best to cut back on the output side. I think I remember reading somewhere that a little bit of backpressure on the pumps won't wear them out as bad....

![]() Not recommended to cut down on intake size. Output is fine.

![]() Does anyone know if you can you use a dimmer switch to dim it down or is that crazy?

![]() I don't think thats a good idea on AC motors.
You can do that on DC though |

![]() Noooo! Dimmers are not designed for inductive applications (ie, mh ballast, electric motors, etc)
