How big is the display? I like OM on closed loop rather than return line. I would have one return chamber and both pumps in there. Have the sump flow one direction. Returns go straight to tank with maybe a couple splitters so you have 4 nozzles going into tank (depending on size of display). Then make closed loop to run the 8 OM outputs. Eight 4" filter socks? I would rather use four 7" filter socks. I hate 4" filter socks. Last edited by Myka; 04-03-2013 at 01:25 PM. |

Looks great Greg. Is that ATO chamber going to be fed from an ro/di system or are you having to manually add water? If you are manually adding.. It's to small.
I know you have a lot of returns heading back to the display but I think I'd still rather a larger single return section with both pumps in it.

Photo. Not the Mock up.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

DOnt really care if they are different or not they will still pump the same amount of water.

I still dont understand the purpose of the two return chambers, with a sump that size you could have a bad-ass refuge and a larger return area with both pumps in it, or even a larger ATO area. Also does that ATO top off both return sections? seems like another pump would be needed...

I am planning a auto WC system as well as a feed pump directly from my 200 gal whole house RO system. I want to have the 2 pump apart because it will be very hard to plumb 2 4ways that close together. also want to have as my OF lines as short as possible ( dual bean animals ) and join together near center of the tank to a 3" manifold.

How is an ATO going to work with two return chambers? Don't tell me you're manually topping off a 300-gallon tank...??

If it was me I would use one of those DC10000 pumps for a return with 2 or 4 nozzles, and then get a bigger pump for a closed loop. Those DC10000 pumps aren't near big enough imo. I would be looking at a Reeflo Hammerhead for each OM which would still only give you about 35x turnover. Last edited by Myka; 04-03-2013 at 04:20 PM. |
