Just finished dry-fitting my drains and returns.
Pls see pics and let me know if I should change anything.
Here are the specs:
125G Perfecto w/corner overflows (1" openings for drain & return bulkheads)
plumbing: combination of 1" PVC and 1" Spaflex
There are two things that I'm uncertain of (related to the return line)-
First, the ball valve is close to the pump itself, but I wonder if I should have another one after the tee that goes to the far end (would that make for really uneven flow since the pump is almost directly below one (even though it has more elbows)?
Also, The pump is technically below the bulkhead, but the plumbing is horizontal until the input of the pump. Is this bad? I'm not sure how else I can configure it without raising the sump higher (which isn't impossible, but will make access into the sump kind of a pain).
Any insight is appreciated.
