Hi all-
I’m in the early planning stages of a new build and I need some advice regarding plumbing a UV unit.
It seems like there are two popular ways to plumb:
1) Put it on its own dedicated return pump
or
2) Run it off a manifold coming off the tank’s primary return pump
It seems to me like it would be a lot easier to dial in and maintain the UV fixture if it’s on its own pump. Running it off a manifold would negate the need for a 2nd pump, but seems like it could get a tad hairy when tweaking the flow going out to other devices (reactors, etc.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
