So with that in mind, I came home from church today, checked the plumbing real quick to make sure everything looked tight and good, dumped the sand in that had been rinsed a long time ago, and threw some valves to start pumping water from the sump to the tank while at the same time pumping fresh saltwater into the sump.
First of all, no leaks in the return plumbing. Will still have to check bulkheads when the water gets up that high, but all the piping looks good.;Joyful
Next, I want to say that I am impressed with the Sicce SDC 9.0 so far. The Bottom of my water mixing barrel sits higher than the water level in my sump, and I have a mag 9.5 to use as a transfer pump between the mixing barrel and the sump. It is all plumbed in 3/4” PVC, and there are a number of 90’s in the run, but the mag 9.5 should still be pushing a good amount of water. The SDC was sucking air less than halfway into the transfer, and in order to balance the water theSDC was pushing to the display with the water the mag was sending to the sump I had to dial the SDC back to 48%. I think it should provide plenty of flow.
