SRC Member Tanzy Posted January 18, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted January 18, 2003 Ok guys, gotto think about whether you can fit your hands into those chambers to clean the sumps sometimes or when stuff get stuck in there. Serviceability is a big issue. RMX, The 2" underflows will be very hard to reach into and you don't need so many passes. You'll only need one to remove bubbles produced by the skimmer just before the return pump. Quote Warning: Heavy handed moderator in operation.

RMX Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 for the underflow, would it be better for it to be 1 inch?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Phang Posted January 19, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted January 19, 2003 for the underflow, would it be better for it to be 1 inch?? If the gap is too short, you might get water overflowing the first compartment when a large return pump is utilised...... rendering the first compartment useless..... go a little larger 2-3 inches... jus in case you might consider a larger return pump in the future....
