Hi guys,

I'm looking to put a manifold on my Peninsula 500 but the plumbing isn't really set up for it. Ideally the return pump would be on the far right so the manifold could run from the return pump, across the sump then up to the return pipe.

Will I have to double back instead? Or will it work if I tee'd off to a manifold with the far end blocked? Have I explained that properly??

Thanks, Alex :)

That will work fine. I have seen it done this way before with no ill effect. Pressure is pressure.
 
Looks easier on the 525. I decided to make one run off it's own pump instead of the return in the end.
