Use manifold, by knowing its not the optimized way to go for, but the only option for me right now by this way the big problem
is when the pump fails, UV&chiller still working without any water pass through, what the best way to solve this problem except for an apex.
 
Run the chiller with your return pump and output it into your tank. UV is not necessary, so if this pump fails, then just get another one when you can.

Apex won't keep pumps from failing. Just getting quality pumps will.
 
My gold of mine is feeding uv&chiiler by return pump manifold.
The unfortunate situation that can occur is when the water did not pass through. It can cause damage to the other equipment that relies on water pass through like uv&chiller.
i hope now i do explain my problem more apparent.
 
This potential solution would need some expertise of Neptune experts. Using the FMM module, would it be possible to install a flow meter... If the flow meter falls below a certain threshold of flow, would you be able to program the Apex to kill power to the UV and chiller?

Oops, missed the part about the Apex. :D

Use an Avast marine ATO pressure switch. Use a splitter and plug your chiller and UV into the standard outlet version of vast ATO switch. If power to your return pump is cut, the water level will rise in your return section triggering the pressure tube, thereby cutting off power to the chiller and UV.
