So you think I need 3 x 8 ways. I was thinking I could get away with 2 x 4 ways and about 8000 gal of flow with two pumps. I guess I could do 2 x 4 ways or return and 1 x 8 way on closed loop. I just thought of this I might actually have a pump under the tank (closed loop) but I really don't want to, I think I'll give up some head loss to keep it in the basement.
