Tips and Tricks 101
Hmmm Kewl topic Marc.. Let me dig some things out of this rusty brain of mine.. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
-When plumbing your tank/sump whatever. Rather than use solid PVC, spend the bit more and go for he flex tubing. More forgiving. If you make amistake you dont need to start over.
- Use ball/gate valves wherever possible. ie before and after pumps. Allows you to disconnect and replace without draining.
- Quick hand disconnects. Another useful device for plumbing. Much easier.
- Have two different GFCI circuits. Set up some circ/return pumps on opposite circuits. If one trips there will still be circulation.
- If working with WELD-ON 16 and acrylic. Push the bead of glue around the bond rather than let it run. you have more control of how much goes to the joint.
