It will also this is why a return bypass is the best approach. I believe I will have to upload a drawing to make it more clear though there is a picture in the article I linked to earlier.

I think I understand what you mean now.

Hi all,

This seems like a lot of extra work when you could just use a separate pump for the UV no ?
To me it’s easier to run a small pump at a set speed for a Uv Than to mess around with ball valves and flow meters. Set and forget. And the little amount of power used is negligible IMO

In the last picture I have 2 pumps 1 for return too tank and other for reactor and UV..

Soo afther see all your answers i still confuse :(o_O:oops:;Shamefullyembarrased

1 pump for all and use valve too control the reactors and UV ???
or
2 pumps 1 for reactor and UV and another for return too tank ???

I have leack of space how you can see in the picture of my SUMP...

My space for SUMP is :

You can use one pump with a manifold for the reactors and a bypass for the UV lakai’s picture shows how to properly plumb a UV using a bypass.
