Why do I picture y'all in suits strutting the catwalk now?

I am looking forward to the formal wear. I love a tuxedo on a good looking man.

Shhhh. I was gonna pimp him out!
Good looking with that accent? He would melt the ladies over here.
I meant auction him off in a respectable manner.
I am bidding on you big guy.
He's married, so we'd have to have rules too.
Ha ha ha! Funny.
I think @Musovski will bring in the ladies as well.
Not sure if this is online. Hope I am not in trouble.
One often gets a much quicker reply using this method.
What are you folks up to over here? Sounds Risky

Can I use 1 inch return plumbing with it? I pulled the trigger. Ordered the dct4000, medium Eshopps external overflow, 1’’ hydroseal true union ball valve, 15 feet of 1’’schedule 40 pvc.

I don't see why not.

I am using 3/4" but 1" will work.

Make sure you don't hard plumb to it. I use silicone tubing from Amazon (MUCH cheaper than BRS). It does a few things: Dampens vibration which makes it dead quiet, gives a little flexibility if the plumbing isn't exactly right and makes removal of the pump easier if you don't use a union right at the pump.

My return is hard plumbed to the tank. I just prefer a soft coupling to the PVC. I hope that makes sense.

:)
