How much back pressure can i put on the rd50? Running 1" return line split for 2 returns into tank. I was wondering if i reduce size the bulkhead going into tank to 1/2" cause a strain on pump. Its a 100 gal tank and assuming max flow will only be in the 650 gph range. Wanted to try a random flow generator nozzle to reduce number of intank powerheads (mp40)
