yeah thats the calculator I used. I chose to go with 3.4 pvc for the plumbing so thats why it takes it down to 800gph. If I increase the pvc size to 1" or 1.5" flow goes way up to 1300gph but the psi goes down to 2psi. I am using eductors on the returns so I wanted to get higher psi.. the pump really moves water in the DT i thought it was too much, but this is the first time im using this big of a pump.
Im gonna try a little bigger hole on top of the durso.
can I make a spraybar type thing on one output or is it better to have both the same?
