Plumbing/Drain Guru Help (Herbie)
I'm planning to give the syphon style drain a try. I want to drain to multiple chambers/tanks Could you take a look at this? Will it work? I believe one 1" syphon should handle the ~1200-1500 gph. I'm having a brainstorm to turn on an internal pump creating an open loop before my heaters turn on and letting the second syphon handle the increased flow. Otherwise, I'll consider putting the hybrid impeller and use both syphon drains ~.
