tetraodon Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Im building a pvc overflow and was wondering what size pipe I need for a return pump rated at 127gph? Link to comment
seabass Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 While 1/2" might work, I'd highly recommend 3/4". It's still takes up relatively little room and is very common/inexpensive. Link to comment

Jaden1592 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ok ill have to run to hardware store to get the supplies then Get a valve too so if it's draining too much you can fine tune the flow... Link to comment
seabass Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Get a valve too so if it's draining too much you can fine tune the flow... Yes, but for the return line. Don't put a valve on the drain line unless you are setting up a siphon overflow, with an emergency drain. Link to comment
Mpy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 If you do it right the siphon will be variable flow so there wont need to be a valve. Link to comment
