A couple of small projects,
The Stirrer was a simple mod,
If you look at the top flange set of the old ca reactor in the pics above, you can see where the new stirrer body came from.
I just hacked the top half off and replaced the bottom, and routed out the flange to accept the motor casing off the old stirrer.
All i really did here was increase the body size so it could accept more kalk without bogging down the stirrer too much.
You know your in a sad state when you take a Deltec and make it into a DIY.
The reseviour,
This was an old 220 plexi that had a corner blown out of it...so i repaired it and put it into use.
I wanted to keep it simple and use only one pump for mixing and pumping to the tank.
In this pic`s lower left you can see the valves used to do this.
When they are in the position shown, the pump inside is feeding up through and back into the res for mixing.
Then when waters needed i just have the valves oppposite to what is shown, then it uses the same pump to push water into the sump after a water change.
Also in this pic you can see a small blue valve....this is plumbed into the intake of the pump, this was done becuase the feed to the sump is running along the floor back up over the sump edge.
I didnt want water to go stagnant in this line when not in use....so this small line acts as a venturi, when the water change is done, i open the small blue valve and it suck all the unused water out of the lines running along the floor.
Many Projects yet to come....
