I recently purchased 2 40w AquaUV sterilizers from a member here and had a question about how to connect both together as opposed to running one low flow and one high flow. I’ll attach pictures, but I would think it’s do-able since the 80w is just 2 40w ran parallel. Anybody on here have the 80w that can explain how it is plumbed? Looks like it’s just the use of 4-way cross fittings, but since I do not have the sterilizers yet, I’m not sure if that’s actually what it is.
thanks in advance!

Looks like water in water out to me I would follow recommend water flow through big one

The bigger one (80w) is just two 40w connected together. But I’m not sure how it works with those 4-way cross fittings. I know it flows from bottom right, then to the left then up to the top one. The to the right and out the top. My question is more for people that have the 80w and how it works with those 4-way cross fittings
 
The four way fitting is two T's facing each other with a small piece of pipe connecting them. All the water goes in and then out. Probably not the most efficient way. there should be a block so it forces the water to go around, maybe that is what they have done, if not you should do that.

Right, I’m pretty sure where the two connect on the right side are not flow thru, but I’m not sure what it looks like compared to a single 40w. Once I call AquaUV and when the two arrive I will know and have a better idea of what I need to do
