Re: Hole Size

Hi Ed,
Yeah was thinking the type you suggest! Cheaper and all that... Plus I can run the waste pipe straight out to flowerbed or divert to drain in winter.

Thank you

Re: Hole Size

Nice one Gazza! :wink:
Some great photo's and nice neat pipe work. How's the re-working of your RO going? Too early to tell I guess?

Kind regards

Hole Size

Hi, Can anybody help with a query I have? I need to put a hole in my quarantine tank for overflow, what size hole do I need to drill and what size overflow pipe/tank connector do I need? I will be trickling in RO water, but not sure of flow rate as yet? I was thinking 1inch? Thanks in advance Colin :)

Re: BHM Submerged

Thank you Jules.
So even with heavy airation underneath you still get settlement?
I did try it myself some years ago but it wore the media away big time. :shock: That was before BHM 2 came out!

BHM Submerged

Hi all, Was having a little old think today. Nothing new there. It is said that BHM works equally well submerged as in showers! With many of us having to watch our pennies (WATTAGE) how about a gravity fed system with settlement tank/chamber etc then XXXXX amount of BHM loads of air underneath to st...

Yet Another Question!

:oops: Sorry guys yet another question :oops:

When getting an Eazy Pod ready as the sole filtration, do I need to soak the K1 in P.P. first? Or is that only when K1 is used in fluidised filtration methods?
Thank you.
Colin :roll:

Re: general questions

Thank you for your reply Fishy Hands, I have put on some extension lead cable before reading your post. It says Artic cable on it and on the reel it says good for up to 3150 watts. I wired it up and plugged it in and the heater did what it should do without blowing the house up, :shock: so I assume ...
