While I'm waiting to answer my own question, I had to splice in some PVC parts on my return...how long until I can run water through it, and the answer needs to be less than a few hours :)

Oatey says 1 hour cure time before pressure testing, but I'm concerned about fumes and toxicity in tank...anyone have any idea how long to wait?

I waited an hour and turned it back on, no issues. Now feeding my reactor off the return pump and have a check valve installed.

be ready by then. toxics are usaly flashed off right away, but can you run some tap water through it to washg any residual away?
