penductor question

I'm thinking of getting some penductors for my closed loop but wanted to get some opinions.
I have 6 CL outlets. How well will it work if I put penductors on only 2 of the outlets? If those 2 outlets are restricted by the penductors, will the bulk of the flow just get diverted to the other 4 outlets, reducing the pressure at the penductors causing a situation where little is gained?

MSM,

Just remember this, flow always follows the path of least resistance and penductors add a lot of resistance.

Unless you are flowing in excess of 10,000 gph through those six outlets and each outlet is only 3/4" pipe, then you will see very little benefit since there won't be enough pressure at the eductors to really cause any eduction.

Peace,
John H.
