oceans motions 4 way

Should the oceans motions 4 way be closer to the pump or closer to where it splits to 4 on the returns?

This is for a 1.5" enter and 1" exit OM4way

It would seem to me that the closer you put it to where you need to split it would give you better water volume.

Mine is just above tank level with no issues, but I have also seen it closer to the pump. I'm not so sure there is a real advantage to either. Give Paul at Oceans Motions a call. He will answer your question with a quickness.

+1 on talking with Paul. I have spoken with him in the past - he supports his product. He will help you.
