Can you "draft" a Bottom Drain?

Would it be possible to sit the pump at the bottom of the reservoir and thread the 1 inch output pipe into the 4 inch bottom drain pipe...would this cause water to flow through the 4 inch in addition to the water being "shot" by the pump? If you mean to just sit the output loosely in the 4" pipe, then, I wouldn't count on this actually getting any water up to the VF. Why don't you get whatever couplings are necessary to reduce the 4" BD to 1"? Kelly |
