yeah im certain that will be a issue. im trying to figure out how to plumb it off a manifold. i really want to leave it independent of the main return. i only need 400 gph goin through it. im stumpedThat puppy will weigh a little bit when full of water, so be sure that you have a way to securely mount it.

I really like the ‘two separate pumps’ idea. I may really try and configure that, dry fit of course and see how it looks. I was also thinking of running the uv off the manifold and tapping into one of the returns. Not sure if that’s ideal.You could run it as a separate return. Have one return pump go through the UV and then to one of your two returns. Have the manifold supply water to the other return via the other return pump. You could mount the UV horizontal and use one of those (expensive) UV mounts on the back support...or maybe use more of those Clic mounts. I'm thinking about a layout similar to mine, but not plumbed into the main manifold.
Thank u sir. I went w 45s after watching a brs vid also I like the look more, personal preference I guessLooking good excited to see if filled with water and running!
Out of curiosity is there a reason you went with 2 90 degree fittings on the drains vs two 45s?
Yes. The horizontal ball valve will be closed when in operation. When not in operation, the valve will be open, the vertical one closed, and the v8 will return water . Configured this way, I will have to remove the unit completely. The uv is sitting on the frame of the stand. It doesn’t move dry fit but I will def need to secure itWill the horizontal ball valve be closed when the UV is in operation? I can't really tell from the picture, but do you have room to remove the bulb and quartz sleeve where it is? Lastly, what is supporting the UV? It gets pretty heavy when full.
Yes, it is not ideal but it is upright and is closed looped. When the tank is back against the wall, I may be able to service the UV without taken it completely out. I am filling the tank today to test fo any leaks. I will share pics of the plumbing this afternoonUgh...on having to remove the unit. Maybe post a horizontal picture to get a better idea of what's going on with the rest of the plumbing. Considering that you will need to replace the bulb once a year, I'd try another approach if it were me.
