List:


I had to knock out a partition wall while the wife was at work today.

I should not have ever shown that to my wife. She said i'm not allowed to play with you guys anymore.

 

[deboy69]

Haha that is too funny

So i am to the plumbing stage. I need some guidance. I have two overflows from my tank. Should i combine them into one pipe or keep them separate to my basement? What are your thoughts?

 

[Craigar]

I would combine them into one personally

 

[deboy69]

What size pipe did you use for the return from your hammerhead pump

 

[Craigar]

1.5" all the way throught the floor then reduced to 2 1" to the returns

 

[deboy69]

Thanks. Any problems with the manifold you had running and pressure?

 

[deboy69]

Also I was thinking of doing spa flex tubing from my overflows. Anyone have any experience with this

 

[Craigar]

No problems at all My setup is running exactly how I want it!!!

 

[deboy69]

That's good was thinking of doing something similar
