I purchased 2 of the 2" flow sensors, and was going to put it on each return after the bulkheads, but I am thinking that a lot of weight.

Should I just put one right after the pump plumbing exits the sump? Not sure I have room for that as it splits into my manifold.

Thanks

I do not have a Apex yet, but my plan when I get mine tomorrow is to put it right before the sump because I want to know what the effective flow rate would be entering my sump after all the plumbing zig and zags. If I wanted to find out if a pump crapped out then I would put on the return.. depends on use case.
