Does my plumbing make sense?
If i hard plumb my sterilizer with 2 Tees kind of like a manifold and add a valve to slow down flow for contact time in sterlizer
Will the water make it back up? I have attached a rough sketch if what I want to achieve minus unions. My pump is 2000gph vectra m1 Thanks  Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

Questionable. You have head pressure to overcome.
Better to have it running parallel close to the same height with a valve & then flow would help the output some.. IMHO

I would put 3 gate not ball values in.
One on each return to the tank, the other for the UV. This way you can have better control over all three. Or, as I do, run from the pump to a tee, then one line straight to the tank, the other thru the UV then to tank. Gate valves on the 2 for flow control.
