My current 'river' water (as opposed to sea) plumbing setup, has a 1000GPM pump supplying a 7K unit and a 16K unit. The pump was a 1/2" T plumbed to it's output then 1/2" hose going to each unit. The 16K unit is about 3' higher than the 7K unit. So the unit that needs the most flow, must have its water lifted 3' higher. That has been OK, mostly I believe, because the pump is a bit bigger than required, but hardly seems ideal. It seems some sort of flow restriction in the line going to the smaller, lower unit, would balance things better. Perhaps a valve closed slightly might work. That said, I hate unnecessary complexity. The current setup has worked for several years.
