Hey all,
Does anyone know or have a conversion to how much more flow I will get from 3/4” pipe to 1”?
I piped my manifold with a separate varios 4. I have a UV with an estimated 200gph going through it. My bio pellet reactor and carbon reactor. I reduced to use 3/4” piping but I have a separate xs reactor for purigen and want to add one more for GFO when necessary.
My issue is I do not want to run the pump 100% capacity but I feel like at 75% I have enough flow now for the UV and 2 reactors but a 3rd will reduce to where I either need to increase possibly pipe size or upsize the pump to a 6.
Repiping is far cheaper. So, with that said if I use 1” will it help drastically? Or just bite the bullet and get the 6? My sump as shown.
-Thanks!
