So I thought I could handle it without any help, and I hard plumbed my UV in. I did it this way to conserve precious space in my cabinet, but Im starting to think I did something wrong. Issue is micro bubbles coming in from the UV return. I cannot stop them. I ran the UV plumbing overnight hoping they would disappear, they did not. I assumed if it’s sucking air when the pump is on, it must leak water when the pump is off. Shut it off this morning, unable to find any small leaks. Here’s my setup, hoping someone can tell me if I did something wrong, particularly on the suction side of the pump. I mounted the pump above the waterline in the sump again to conserve space. It’s sucking from a check valve in the sump and it has another check valve on the return side for good measure. I did need to use another pump to prime the system……
The first 5 pics are in order of the water flow from the sump going back into the tank ….last pic is just showing microbubbles coming from the return. Is there a flaw in my plumbing design that I overlooked ? Let me know if you need more info or pics, help is much appreciated =]
