Assuming the inlet/outlet are facing up the water flow clears all air from the pipe. It’s only an issue if they are facing downward as the uv body would become the highest point.Are you not going to end up with air traps in the UV chamber? I had this problem when I installed mine horizontally. I had to change it to vertical with the input on the bottom so the air pockets get pushed out.
Yes you could use a COR pump and Apex to do that. My thoughts is that hopefully you are only trying to fix one thing at a time. So I adjust the flow to suit the problem. 99% of the time I am running it slower.If I used a COR 20 could I do that? Run uv#1 for a few hour at 300 GPH and then run it at 1000 GPH for a few more hour. Would the apex software be capable?
That flow seems super high. I know my pentair 80w recommends 2700 GPH but that’s on a 600 gallon system which works out to something like 4.5x turnover which would only be 900 GPH on a 200 gallon system.
Unless you’re going with a very large AC pump I don’t know how you’d hit 2700 GPH on a return line
No, flow is based on desired contact time (exposure) in μW/cm2. Tank size is certainly relevant.Isn't the flow for UV just based on what you're trying to kill? Tank size should be irrelevant.
