I didn't say your system wouldn't work, your closed loop pump is 700 gph, the teeth can handle that quantity, you cannot do this with a 3000gph pump it simply will drain overflow box.

Well, I would think that it would be apparant that the overflow is going to have to be large enough to handle whatever flow pump you run. There was never the question, "will my Pump be to big for this overflow".

Unfortunately Dan nothing is always apparent in this hobby, hence my reason for suggesting against doing this.

sorry should have added.
closed loop mag 24
return was a mag 18.

[banditpowdercoat]

saltynuts, that's a fair amount of flow with those 2 pumps. What is the weir length of the overflow that is handling that flow?

I had a mag 18 and it flowed ALOT. to much for my drains to handle, thats why I went the 2 smaller pumps

[saltynuts]

overflow was a coast to coast
1 icnh for closed loop mag 24
2 inch for sump durso. mag 18
