It took quite some time for me to figure out all the plumbing. We'll see if I accounted for enough to do the project or if I have to order more.

As far as pumps go....I've went with two ReeFlo pumps feeding to 1.5" and then into a 2" pipe. I have a gate valve on outlet and ball valve on inlet of each one so I can control flow and can also turn valves off and take pump out for servicing. This also leaves me with redundancy so I have one pump to fall back on even though its not going to have full flow as normal. If you separate pumps and what they feed to then if one pump goes, that portion of your system is not utilized.
