Thank you so much for the explanation and pictures, made me understand t better than the YouTube videos I saw. Ok so I get it now pretty much I run two pipes on the overflow going down to sump. And my return is just an additional Hose through the back and i can even add a spray bar or something
No. The emergency drain remains separate from the main drain. In a perfect world, you'd probably want your main drain to be smaller than your emergency drain to ensure your E drain can handle the full turnover rate in the rare case of a complete blockage of the main drain. I took the risk of using the larger pipe as my main to get a higher turnover rate.
Okay I get you, both drains lead to sump though right into the filtersocks. I was going to use Just one filter sock for my main drain, but in this case I would have to use 2 for both drains right ?
Oh okay sorry I thought the emergency drain led to sump as well, so pretty much the valve goes on it and it remains closed so no water goes through that drain pipe
The E drain does lead to the sump, just not into a filter sock. The E drain also will not have a valve. The main drain will be the one with the valve. If you take a look at the pics I posted, you'll see flex pipe next to the main drain with the valve. That is my emergency drain pipe.
