    The sensor for the 650 is built in. I had it plumbed like you said in the past and it wasn't working out too well. I think it was worse than this time.

    Plumbed it this way to save on the electric bill since the mags eat up a lot of electricity

    OK, so how much flow are you getting from your return, at tank level?

    how do i connect a hose to the return line then to a bucket to find out how much water is coming out?

    would it be safe to assume that the water draining from the tank is the same as the water being put into the tank?

    i was using a head loss calc and it figures about 611 gph, and thats if i have 3 elbows, 4 feet of tubing that thats horizontal and 4 feet upwards

    You need to disconnect your return hose, and then put a 5 gallon bucket up at the same level as your return. Then time how long it takes to fill the bucket.
