Return pump location

[Jkellar]

This might win dumbest question on this site. But I’m doing it anyway. Where does the return pump go on a reefer 350? Does it go on the left or the right in the same chamber as the stock ato float. I feel like it has to be on the right because other wise the bubble filter wouldn’t be doing anything. Sorry I’m really new to this and the directions leave a bit to be desired.
In the picture I have it to the left

rear right, where the return hose would naturally drop.

Thank you! Ok that’s what I began to realize. But the hose is way to long for that and begins to kink. Is it normal to have to cut it?

Yep. Better too long than too short. I didn’t trim mine. It just kind of loops around. But, you can trim.

Ok I will leave it for now. I was worried about a kink causing problems. Really appreciate the help.

Since you have been so much help I hope you can answer one more question. For the ato tank that was included. Does it sit in with the nub attachment oriented to the front right or the back left?

back right would make the most sense so it came right down to the float

I had it on the front right, but quickly I ditched it and went with an external tank with an electronic ATO

The front right makes more sense so you’ll have some extra line that would move when you slide the top off tank over for pump maintenance or for whatever reason you’d like to slide the reservoir over

Got it. Sand rock and water going in later. Anything I should know specific to the 350 before I start?
