I have a question regarding the use of flex spa PVC. I know it is good to use it for the return from the sump to the tank as there would be no 45 or 90 elbows used, which would reduce the flow of the return pump sending water back to the tank.
What about using it for the overflow going down to the sump, which is in the basement. Does it make a difference with water draining from the tank/overflow? I would prefer to use Rigid as it is easier to use for adding extra Tee connections,etc for future use of the overflow lines, but I do not know what the effect of using elbows on the overflow lines. Is it the same effect as having elbows on the return line.
Would water flow be slower using Rigid PVC from the overflow to the sump vs using flex PVC?
If so, how much slower? I have two 1" overflow lines going down the basement into the sump..
Thanks!
