changing existing CL??????

That is ExACTLY what I had in mind.... Did you just leave the PVC fitting in the water or did you use loc line?

Loc line doesnt come in 1" sizes so all I have now is PVC. I had to modify four 1" PVC 90º fittings to get the angle that I wanted. You can see where I cut them and how they are just below the surface in this picture.


If I stand in front of my tank and look at it I barely notice that they are there. They are mostly covered in coraline now but if you really want to make them invisible you could probably paint them blue or back depending on what color your background is.


When I used to use 3/4" plumbing with loc line flare nozzles the configuration looked like this:

Thank you for the help i plan to do the same type of thing If I understand correctly using a 4 way I don't need individual ball valves or gate valves per outlet as the 4 way alternates flow but it would be a good idea to use valves if I just striaght pipe it from the CL pump??
Where did everyone buy their OM 4 ways??

[whatcaneyedo]

I only put ball valves before and after pumps to make removing them for cleaning easier.

I bought my 4-Way used locally.

you only need ball valves on the outputs if the 4way was under the tank, since your over the top, you don't unless you're want to limit the flow in one or more of the lines.

Ok thanks I figured that and I would only use ball valves if I skipped the 4 way and just piped it right from pump as obviously the closer outlets to pump would blast way harder than the farther outlets
