This is a little out of the norm I understand, but I'm plumbing my system and was wondering if this would work.
I have 3 way motorized ball valves to direct flow and was curious if it's possible to pump from one pump (that's on obviously) through the OUTPUT towards the input of a pump that's off.
Basically I have a 3 way valve on the bottom of my BK that will direct wort either through the HLT coil which will double as a chiller, or once chilled the valve switches and chilled wort is pumped to the fermenter.
What I'd like to do is add another 3 way valve to one leg of the other 3 way so I can pump from my MLT into the BK backwards through the BK pump. Not sure if this will.
A work
B damage the pump.
Any ideas? Just trying to keep the runs of the plumbing to a minimum.
Probably a stupid idea, but what the heck.
