okay so today was a big day...
been back and fourth trying to get certain plumbing parts etc...
i finally got all my plumbing parts almost!!
its basically complete but!
i got the 3 valves...
they look identical to the other ones but i can assure you they were double the price and theres no metal in them whatsoever!!
thanks for that ace, that was a sh** job but will save me everything ey! thanks mate. haha
so heres the 3 valves, all plastic!!
i had trouble doing the durso standpipe tooo.
i had it made, but when i actually read the DIY durso you have to use
certain sizings and reducers and bushs and the lot.
so been there and done that today..
ive made a new return pipe into the tank also...
its just got a 3/4inch bulkhead with a reducer to 1/2inch pipe for more pressure..
and heres a couple of pics ofwhat the plumbing will look like when finished...
basically where the black bulkhead is..
below is in the cabinet, and above it is in the overflow...
pipe on the left..
will drain or easy water changes/emergencies..
pipe in the middle..
durso standpipe with inlet into sump...
pipe on right is return pipe into tank..
ive also emptied the tank..
i will clean the sand and tank...
the tank will be moved into the spare room for a couple days so i can work on the sump..
so in a couple days i will post pics of everything..
cheers guys.
