I just checked... At 5feet head height the pump will put out around 730 gph. Adding another 150-200gph for the 3 manifold outlets, I end up with 530gph. I would have preferred something closer to 650gph which is the average flow rate thru a 1"overflow pipe. But I think I may just throttle the overflow down a bit via gate valve and should be safe. Right?
Also, I have to manifold designs but don't know which K e is better/more practical
Option 1... Manifold built into the return line
I give up on my manifold, i plug it, i go different directions, i use only one port (feed the chiller) than i dose Vodka, "0" Nitrate, "0" PO4, i trow one (2) bags of ESV Granular Activated Carbon on top of return pump (paint strainer bag) , in stand of GFO (i don't need) Biopellet Reactor (i don't need) etc. i got few ?hundreds? of..........Zooa's.
