So running it on the the return line with a t and then back onto the return did not work because I was getting pressure from both ends

For that to work you have to install a ball valve at “X”, and you will only open it when you remove your UV for maintenance. Hope it helps.

The BRS video mention whether it should preferably go "before" or "after" the function a skimmer might have in the system. Of course, now I can't recall which-was-which, so label me 'No Help.' :rolleyes:

If mounted horizontally. Does it matter which side is hole is outflow? In other words can I make the hole with the bulb inlet be my water inlet?
