[pgr11]

1" will do

 

[pgr11]

Just 1 drain or multiple

 

[JOSE CASAS]

1'' will be fine but if you upgrade ur return pump in the future a 1.5'' will do. Get back to work.

Better to have and not need then need and not have

 

[lowbudget]

so more is better? why would you upgrade your return?

 

[pgr11]

If you have multiple drains you can add a valve on one and adjust the drain like in a Herbie or beananimal system

what a tease

 

[mark.a.smith405]

I upgraded my return to manifold a uv sterilizer and reactors.

 

[Riblet]

explain.........

Go with two 1.5 drains and that leaves u with options like a herbie setup or an increase in water flow down the line, it's better to have and not need it then need it and not have it.

 

[Riblet]

^^^^ and what he said gravity feed is free flow to run any low pressure items anything from uv to fuge
