It cannot be turned down to run a SCWD, it will just boil the water.

Thanks for the info and ideas.
Any thought on using flex hose instead of PVC with this?

One thing to look at if you don't already have the SCWD is the new improved 1" SCWD. Take a look at their site...http://www.3iqventures.com/oneinch.html

They have fixed the number one problem with these which was the lack of access. They have also improved flow. Pricing isn't bad compared to what we pay for most motion devices now in the hobby.

Just a thought though.

Yes but I have had the other one laying around for a while and wanted to find a use for it.

I use one of the regular SCWD's myself and it does a great job. I know that it cuts my flow down a lot from my return (Quietone4000) but I can't really complain.
