I only drilled one 3/8 hole on the cap. Why so many holes? Does this make a difference?

I built mine today and WOW!!
I am AMAZED at the difference in the noise level.
It cost a whole $11.00... If my local Home Depot sold 1.5" pipe by the foot it would have been much less. The 10' pipe was 1/3 the total

Yes for back pressure. I did not want salt creep down the road clogging the hole, and causing the skimmer to overflow.
I have relocated the skimmer to a smaller sump, and am now using a single 3/8" hole in the rubber adaptor, one on the 90* turn, and one on the output. I have done the same thing on my SRO 2000 that I just launched yesterday, again.
Here is the 1000 now -
What did you use to couple the Tees together?

I had a 1" pvc piece that is flanged at the end. The other end is a standard 1 inch size. The rest of the setup is standard 1 inch pipe. The flanged end fits like a glove into the Octopus gate valve piece.

I have my filter sock from my overflow hanging in front of the return. Pretty quiet but not silent.

Just got one of these. Going to do the mod later today. Thanks for the idea.
