Does this sound OK or is there a reason I should get the water from the return pump? |
The way you are thinking of draining water into the fuge is the correct way IMO. However, instead of thinking of controlling the flow of water back into the sump, think of your valve as a way to control the flow into your fuge. Slow turn over in the fuge is better. 50-60 gal per hour thru a 10 gal fuge should be good.
Not knowing how your sump is set up, dump the water from the fuge into the return side of your sump.
