If that's a Hammerhead running your sump return.. I would think you might have a bit of an issue with the pump being too strong for the sump return..

It's just a thought.. Flowing 3500gph through a sump is alot of water :) If thats not your plan. Please forgive me :)

I love the flow of the pump. I had one on my old 380 with a OM 4-way and I didn't have any high flow issues. I have 2x 1.5" and 4x 0.75" for drains and 1.5" for all of my returns. I never have had a flow issue in a sump before.

Also it's not 3500 gph, it's 4500 gph.
 
With that many drains you should be fine :) I didn't know if it was a Barracuda or a Hammerhead :)

Looks good man.. Looks good..
 
I agree.......looking good. I could see the relief on Jesse's face when ya'll got the tank done. You guys are strong!!!!
 
Here's a update on the plumbing. I had to artistic with it a little. I still have one more return off the 4-way to finish.

You should get some chrome spray paint, and paint the return lines from the o-motion. It would look like something from American Chopper :lol:

I might have water in the tank by Thursday.

If I had seen a garden hose laying around you would have had water in it on Sunday.:cool:

The front of the sump isn't glued on yet. I did it last night and have 2 leaks. So those holes are in the wall between the 2 chambers of the sump.
