So I need some input on a return pump. I want to use only one pump for this tank to run every thing with one check valve & flow control valves for skimmer, media reactors & chiller.

What does everyone think of this pump.

Do you have a design pic in mind of how it will plumb out with everything?
I have a monster pool/spa pump Im running on my 300 now that could easily take on several other items to tone down the flow rate....and it dosent heat up and is fairly quiet at 50-60GPM lol

No pic of what I have in mind but it will go something like this........

Return pump - check valve - OM 4-way - each port off 4-way split into 2 for a total of 8 returns ( only 4 running full at a time ) in threw back of the tank as pictured in the concept design.

Coast to coast OF - 1 1/2" drain at each end of tank - teed together to a 2" - 2" to 1" tee that will feed my 3 media reactor's - second 2" to 1" tee to feed skimmer - third 2" to 1" tee to feed chiller - end of 2" into filter sock in sump.

Im going through your other thread trying to picture how it would all go together...
Best I can say is rate the wattage with the flow rate and spend a bit extra on the pump with a better ratio
