Eductors for Reeflo dart pump

[ldam]

I'm thinking about using eductors for my return
have 250gal(5ft), reeflo dart tee to two 1" seaswirls one on each end
i'm thinking of buying one of those 1" eductors
I heard it need a pressure rate pump, will the dart do
anyone had any experience with eductor

I think it might be pressure rated. I could be wrong but it does push like 20+ feet of head with no issues.

Dart will work fine

I thought so too, but I look it up only up to 12 ft of head,

It'll work, just a question of how much the flow will be reduced. You may end up with about the same flow in the end, but some decrease in electricity usage.

dart Split to 2 1" sea swirl, correct me if am wrong the 1" eductors thread is 1" but connect to 3/4" loc-line

There are a number of different eductors/penductors on the market so the sizes may vary. I know the ones that I used to use connected to 3/4" loc line which is 3/4" NPT which if you measure the threads is almost exactly 1" OD, but that's just how PVC sizes work.

BTW, if you don't already have them, I have a pair I'd sell cheap (and would be willing to let you try out and pay later if you like them).

If it come out to be the same flow why other too bad there is no 1"
