I'm currently running a Mag18 with 1" pvc piping that splits to a dual 1" return. On each return I have 1" accelerators.



I just noticed the accelerators have a max flow rate of 660gph.

So am I losing flow from having these on the ends of my returns?

Another question I have about the return line piping size. I was recently told that the Mag18 I am running, I should be using 1.5" pvc. Is this accurate?
