I'm using a Milodon pump and cover set up for dual external pickup. I've never seen this brought up before. The pump cover isn't marked. Which line is pressure to the filter and which one is return? For simplicity, let's consider the pump fittings "High" mounted and "Low" mounted.

Thanks, but no, it doesn't answer my question. The filter adapter is marked. It's the pump cover that isn't. I think it's funny, over 50 views and it seems like nobody else knows either. Easy enough to figure out, though. Just might get a little messy.

There are several manufacturers of these, without pics I wouldn't hazard a guess. With the info above and some compressed air, you can blow thru the passages and figure it out. And then mark it permanently!
