Hi folks! I have an extra return pump lying around that has a pulsing "wave" option. I was thinking about swapping my existing continuous flow pump for it.
Is there much benefit to having a return pump with the wave option on?
Any other thoughts on that option?
Thanks

I'd pass on that.
Return needs a steady flow
