SuncrestReef Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 My UV is in line with my return pipe. I only use the valves to turn off flow to the UV for maintenance and open a bypass valve so the return pump still supplies the tank. I have a flow meter on the return pipe past the UV so it always reports the flow whether going through UV or bypassed. So basically my UV flow rate is controlled by my return pump speed.

Is there like an in-line flowmeter? The slower the flow the better. Make sure to orient your UV so that it is always full of water if your running low flows... eg, vertical not horizontal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
