Need Help In Sump..

[KING]

So im trying to make some room in my sump..An wanted to see if any one is running one pump on more then one thing..Could i run one pump to my chiller then the chiller to my dual reactor then back to sump..or should i turn the other way around? Any info on this would be good..Or if your running more then that..what an how big of pump..?

you could daisy chain, but you'd have more control if you split the output of one pump into two. basically attach a T to your pumps output, add a ballvalve to one or both sides, and run one to your chiller and one to a reactor.

Is the chiller on all the time?

If it isn't, then your reactor would only be in operation when the chiller is...

water runs thru the chiller whether it's chilling or not, my concern was the possibly different flow rates the two things required.

Ya the chiller is always on..it need 320..to 340gph..an im not sure on the reactor till i get hm.

I have a manifold I made from PVC that supplies my return, two media reactors and I have one extra "line" for another reactor plus a ball valve that goes over to the start (for lack of a better term) of my sump. You basically just need a few T's, a couple 90's and a few ball valves (to control flow). This would let you supply multiple gadgets with one pump and give you control over the pressure or flow each device gets (including your return if you wanted). Your only problem will making sure you have the proper flow through the reactor and chiller. You could do this with a gallon jug or five gallon bucket, a stop watch and some math but it's probably easier said than done. Still, I'd personally rather do that than daisy chain.

you could always get a manifold or three or four way pvcfittings.com has cool stuff
