Water pump/ set up

[Neverfold420]

Okay went out by all the supplies and equipment needed for a rdwc. Cut all my pvc set everything up bulkheads in place drill holes. Set my water chiller up along with my pop wondering if setup looks okay if see anything wrong with. And how fast is the water supposed to pump out of the pump into the head bucket?

Looks good. I like 10x volume turnover for pump but depends on how big of plants your growing. How many gal sites are those 5/gal? Probably 3 week veg 4 max or you will end up with roots in the pipes. As low as 5-6x turnover should be fine for that. More than 10x is a waste imo.
