Adding a foam fractionator.

Post by Russ Little Pond »

If I can find a vortex type chamber at the right price to use as a aireated K1 filter, the chamber i`m connecting from has a 4" feed out at the top and the new chamber i`m looking at has it`s infeed lower down, i`m thinking of coming out of the old chamber into a 4" T used like this -I and connect to new chamber using the top connection of the 4" T as a way out for the foam, would it work ??
