Does my plumbing make sense?

[Daddyrawg]

If i hard plumb my sterilizer with 2 Tees kind of like a manifold and add a valve to slow down flow for contact time in sterlizer
Will the water make it back up? I have attached a rough sketch if what I want to achieve minus unions.

My pump is 2000gph vectra m1

Thanks

Questionable. You have head pressure to overcome.
Better to have it running parallel close to the same height with a valve & then flow would help the output some..
IMHO

I would put 3 gate not ball values in.
One on each return to the tank, the other for the UV.
This way you can have better control over all three.

Or, as I do, run from the pump to a tee, then one line straight to the tank, the other thru the UV then to tank. Gate valves on the 2 for flow control.
