can anyone tell me what to calculate on average for head loss when using a UV sterilizer plumbed into one of the returns...?

if it matters, it will be an Aqua Unltraviolet 40watt model.
 
I don't know how to calculate on average for head loss but I do know that the flow through a UV sterilizer need to be slow so the uv has time to do its job. If you are not using the return as part of you total flow rate then as long as it returns slowly it should be ok.
