shrymprdan Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 James, There is a video on YouTube by Ted Judy "Ted's Fishroom - Air" that really helped me visualize everything when setting mine up. Those Jehmco valves are good quality, lots of other supplies on that site may come in handy in your project. A PVC cutter is much cleaner than a saw for your cutting, too. Good luck on your build.

EricM Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yup. I used this years ago. super informative video. for those that do the DIY PVC loop. if your loop is above the water line do not use check valves. this just adds addition workload for your pump.

Cool, I will use 1/2" CPVC pipe instead of 3/4" PVC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Receive my drill and tap bit. works great. I use 1/2" PVC, instead of 1/2" CPVC, because the CPVC wall is too thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
