Question for this running a Pentair 40w sterilizer AND running it for algea and bacteria purposes. What pump are you using to get the recommended 943gph to 1574gph? I'm running a pump that's rated for 2700gph, but between the head preasure and five 90° elbows I'm only getting 454gph at 100% power. Any suggestions on a DC return pump that'll reach the recommended gph? TIA
