Thanks for the nice comments dcrain! I believe that placing the inlet at a higher point in the system would be a more efficient design. The initial bleeding of the circuit would be faster this way. However we are talking about a difference of a matter of hours between one design and the other. For the sake of expediency and simplicity I chose to have the intake at a lower point. Thge long term impact should be insignificant.
The pipe is a 1.5" plexi tube that can be purchased through Mcmaster/U.S. plastics/Tap Plastics etc. The fittings are clear PVC manufactured by Harvel Plastics.
