Testing Sump


the sump in action



This is going to the sump




2 returns from the water pump

 

Looking awesome...

 

Looks good so far. On pics 4 & 5, what is the function of the screw-in cap? Is that for air to make it better flowing? Luna

 

Yup...Actually 2 screws, one big, and the second one is smaller...I can remove both. I ended up drilling a hole in the small screw so the water flow better.

I got that idead from durso system. So the only noise I hear is the pump.

 

Smart man.......Are you from Miami?.......yeah, you must be from Miami....lol Luna

 

Thanks. Yeah, I don't want to loop so many pvc pipes to get that sys so came up w/ my own.

hehe..not in Miami. I have been there though. Maybe that's why

I am in SoCal.
