Default Re: wATER FLOW

In just about every double overflow system with one pump the side with the least fittings gets most of the flow.and the side furthest from the pump gets less flow.If one side happens to have the most fittings and be further from the pump at the same time its twice as bad.Any restrictions in the return lines are not needed I would remove them as long as you have anti siphon holes in your return lines.I would also use two return pumps.If the pumps are more closely matched to your return flow the overall flow may increase.Also if one pump quits you will still have flow.
