Hello everyone - I would appreciate some input on connecting a pump to a new wet/dry filter.
I need to drill a hole in the filter acrylic and install a bulkhead to connect the suction line to my new Little Giant external pump.
Are there any tips you all can provide? Do I want the pump to set on the cabinet bottom, or should it be attached to a peice of wood or anything? Should it be raised any?
Also, if I route the discharge line BELOW the water level, would a checkvalve prevent a siphoning back of the entire water level during a power outage, or should it be located above the water line...?
Should I use all rigid PVC, or flex?
I know, a lot of question, LOL.
All input greatly appreciated...I have never done this before.
Thanks,
Mitch
