Easy plumbing question....

[sean obergfell]

I have a Eheim 1262.... It has a 3/4" outlet....will it effect the flow if I connect it to 1" PVC?

Using it as a closed loop through a Sea Swirl.

Thank you,
Sean

Yes it will effect the flow, it will improve it, for most applications. If the Sea Swirl is also 1", it will help reduce some of the friction loss, even better if it is larger. It is not a pressure rated pump, so any restriction cuts flow. In most applications on our tanks, upsizing the plumbing a size or two reduces friction loss.
