Right pump for overflow box ???
I have the Eshopps PF-800 overflow and just ordered a mag drive 950 pump that is rated at 800 gph at 4ft of head for return. Would this be sufficient? I read that the overflow is rated at up to 800 gph but have heard that it might be more like 450gph. I was also planning on splitting the return lines. Please advise !!! Thanks in advance !!!

I think you are on the right track...a couple ball valves in the right places and you shouldnt have any issues.

So should I put a ball valve below the "Y" or a ball valve for each split line ?? And should I also put a ball valve on the overflow ??
