Looking for 800 gph flow through tank/sump. Initial estimated head pressure for planned return run is 11 feet. Bought a Sicce SDC 9.0 which shows a rough flow estimate of 1800 gph on their graph for this head pressure. This graph I believe is at 100% power settings.
Thought process was to dial the DC pump back to under 50% to reduce wear/tear and noise. Adding a ball valve to increase head pressure as needed.
Did I make a mistake and get too large of a pump?
Alternatively, I am considering a "T" or manifold off the return to feed a UV. Read this is not a great idea to do with a Herbie overflow as too many fluctuations can be caused by using a manifold.
