First, I apologize for typing this on the go as @revtree hasn’t released the R2R app. Please excuse brevity and typos!
I am being restricted by connections and tubing diameter, resulting in only 350-370 GPH max with a Sicce 4.0 and 300-320 GPH with Sicce 3.0 from the sump using nothing but a straight tubing 5/8 OD and 1/2 ID tubing (the likely culprit).
I need to replace or use the Red Sea Spigot that is sold for the original Reefer 250 return, to a 3/4 barb on both sides of the UV, down to the oversized 1 inch unions the Apex Flow Sensor uses and then to another spigot or something that will connect the Sicce 3.0 to that. I also gage an extra SDC 3.0 pump too if needed but I hear PEX is the way to go, with a bit of flex tubing at the end.
Lowes is the closest thing to me, but I can do Home Depot if I need to or order from Amazon as well.
I cannot for the life of me figure out the most solid way of doing this without knowing more about PEX or plumbing. Could anyone suggest some parts for this as a replacement to get the 650 GPH expected?
All suggestions welcome, parts list desired. Thanks everybody!
Regards,
OfficeReefer
