OK : Forgive me - I am a newbie 100% lol
This is the new piping that I did and I have a situation with the UV input and output. I need some suggestions on how to re-plumb this all over because I feel like the UV output being right next to the UV input is way to close and water is flowing up the Output when it should be going the opposite to the return.
Can the correct flow direction be controlled by valve adjustments?
My current pump couldn't get the water all the way into the UV.
Is the flow going into the UV output because the pump isn't strong enough and will the flow direction be corrected if a stronger pump is installed?
I am holding off until I can get my hands on a more powerful pump. The Vectra s2 (1400gph) wasn't strong enough to get the water up the tubing into the UV. I thought about putting in some 90 degree 1in male thread by 3/4in barb to help resolve this issue but seems like a really difficult fitting to find. I really would appreciate some advice.
The first valve on the right is UV Input. The middle valve is where the uv Output to return. and the far left is going to the return with a back flow valve.
Last pic is the high tubing that the water cant get pushed up far enough into the UV. #reefsquad
