I currently am using a March pump for the first time in a setup that will eventually be a single tier setup. Currently though I just have the pump on the ground and change the tubes around depending on what I am draing to and from. My question is that all of my tubes are about 5 feet long to and from the pump but Im getting fairly slow flows. My kettles are sitting about 4 feet off the ground from the pump. Im assuming that the hoses are way to long and im just not getting enough force behind the wort to effectively get enough flow uphill to the kettle? What length of hose is ideal for this type of setup where im pumping wort from kettle to kettle and thru a CFC. Thanks!
