I feel like I have taken enough of your time but I keep coming up with questions. Thank you for being so responsive and generous with your time.
I have ball valves (or was planning to) on my return and my discharge. Water entering the sump would leave the standpipe, flow down to the skimmer area through a ball valve.
After the stand pipe and before the skimmer a T fitting would split flow to the fuge which would also have a ball valve.
The return pump will have a ball valve as well but I thought adding pressure there would cause the pump to work harder not less to overcome the head pressure.
You're saying use the return line ball valve to moderate the overall flow rate as opposed to moderating the flow into the sump by partially shutting the fuge & skimmer valves?
