Okay Woody and Cheeks!

Take a look at this for me: We have 2 pumps rated at 588 GPM (I am sure some is lost due to as in post#13 - control valves) which would give us 1176 (not taking into account reduction in flow) 1176/200 = 5.88 times an hour. Looks like we are going to have to do something about that.

Woody - Question - We also have a pump in the sump (wow that rhymes!) for our skimmer and I am not sure if that adds to the flow?

Our pumps are Little Giants model number - 3MDQX-SC. May want to double check and see if I have the right pumps. Only number is 3000 rpm.

Cheers!
