Default Re: Overflow question..

I would rather go a little larger on the pump. I would get a mag 9.5.
Then if you need to you can 'T' it and adjust the flow that way.

As you know I have the 600gph overflow box and have a 400gph (after headloss) and the pump is not even close to keeping up with the overflow box. I do not even have it 'T'd. I went to home depot tonight to get some new CPVC pipe that is a little larger, and hope to get more flow that way. I also have my canister filter (with nothing in it) to help with the return.
