For those of you following along at home, I finally got around to bucket testing various scenarios, and think I have arrived at a conclusion for the pressure loss. If you didn't read the original post, I am using a Sicce Syncra Silent 5.0, which allegedly provides 1321 gph. I am running 24" of 3/4" tubing just up and over the side of the sump and then prospectively into the UV laying horizontally on the ground infant of the sump. Results:
- Using the 3/4" barb thread that came with the Sicce pump into 3/4" hose into the bucket = approx. 16 seconds, or approx. 1125 gph
- Using the 3/4" barb thread that came with the Sicce pump into 3/4" hose into 3/4" barb thread on other end of the hose into the bucket = approx. 17-18 seconds, or approx. 1000 - 1058 gph
- Using a threaded 3/4" to 1" slip fitting attached to Neptune FS100 (1" flow sensor) to 3/4" barb thread to 3/4" hose into the bucket = approx. 25-26 seconds, or approx. 692 - 720 gph.
