Hi
After a break of almost a year, I am starting back again. As far as equipments go I have
The tank came with Durso overflow kit and connections. There are no ball or check valves. I am planning to keep atleast 6" space in the sump at the top and the keep the return fairly close to the water surface so I am thinking the return flow may not be a problem.
I want to take opinions around the plumbing before I start filling it with water. Having never plumbed a thing in my life I am little hesitant to build the plumbing setup with PVCs and valves. What are the advantages/disadvantages of the current plumbing I have?
Thanks
