Recently got a used uv sterilzer from someone, bulb will have to be replaced but the unit is good. Thinking of attaching it to the back of the stand, for easy access to the bulb.
I am not sure sure if I should plumb it into my return line (pushing ~400gph) or do something else. Roughly 5 feet of rise from sump to top of tank. My concerns are if plumbing into the return line and using a ball valve:
-will too much water get cut off the return to the DP
-will the flow be slow enough for the uv to be effective
-will the uv be fully filled so the bulbs don't get exposed to air
Is there any considerations I should take into account?
