If you're trying to cut down on intake restriction in your pump, how big of a reservoir do you need right before the intake? I'm planning on doing a little bit of a modification to my Mag 3's intake, and stretching a tube over the outside of the inlet barb. I have some 3/4" ID Clearflex 60 that works just fine for this. Right before that, however, I'm going to adapt it down to a 1/2" hose barb. Is just increasing the intake size for the pump going to make a difference, or would I actually need a longer length of 3/4" tubing to make it worthwhile?
Basically, if I could theoretically stretch 1/2" ID tubing over the inlet barb, would it increase flowrates at all?
