Wood,
I've read, (cant really give credible documentation tho') that SCWDS will limit the flow thru them to only about 1200 gph due to the mechanics involved in making them work. This isnt really a problem for most folks, but in larger applications, (bigger tanks w/ higher water flow requirements) this can be a concern.
I personally am planning on using both a SCWD and a Sea Swirl. I'm currently only planning on one SS...but want ot be flexible enough to move to two of them should it be necessary.
