Masteflex - push or pull?
perhaps the answer to my question is buried in a thread somewhere, but I could not find it. So, amongst ye experts, any view on whether it is better to have a masterflex pump on the input side of a calcium reactor (thus pushing water through) or on the output side (this pulling)? Or, it makes no difference? I'm inclined to push.

It is always better to have the losses on the output side of a pump. So how ever you need to set it up to accomplish that.

 Yeah, the experts would be the people who make the pump. |
