I've decided to go with a single drain, and a single return for my tank. Now I need to figure out how big they need to be.
Would a 1" drain line be too big for an overflow only pushing about 200 gph?
Would 3/4" be better?
Second question . . . . regardless of the size drain, should the tubing remain consistent from bulkhead to sump? in other words, if it starts at 3/4", should it be 3/4" the whole way down, or should there be an expander or reducer along the way.
Third question . . . now the return, same as question two. Should the return line be the same diameter as the pump outlet from pump all the way to tank return? Or should there be an expander after the pump and then a reducer right before the return?
How big should the return line be in relation to the drain.
Thanks!
