Simply, should the return from the UV go into the sump or directly into the tank?
 
Have it discharge Into your tank. I added a return pump that only flows through the uv unit then back into the dt. Bonus from doing it this way is I have 2 return pumps so if one dies the water keeps flowing through the sump.

Thanks for your input. The uv will be connected to the main return pump using a manifold. Most important I needed to know what others think about where the return should go from the uv
 
Directly into the dt, you don't want to keep nuking the water in your sump as that would make it less efficient.
