![]() Decided to go with a gate valve and ordered a Spears Sched 80 which is a good brand to buy that have been around for years and repair parts should always be available one would think.

![]() I haven't had any system running for much longer than a year so I can't comment on their durability but looks like you chose already anyways! Mine have all been sch 80 and as you discovered if you purchase the deluxe models you can get at the insides to make repairs. I opted to save a few bucks this time but mine would be no big deal to replace entirely.

![]() Return holes are now drilled and vinyl background is on. I had to do it in 2 pieces as I didn't have a 6ft piece of vinyl. If I could do it again I would of spray painted back of tank in garage before I took it downstairs. No biggie though as the coraline will cover it in time anyhow. I still have to drill and tap the cap on the open channel standpipe and then it should be ready to fill with some RO reject water to clean and rinse tank out!

![]() Thanks Mike, it would look good if it wasn't so blotchy like as seen in pic by left return outlet. It actually looked better with the vinyl just taped on as I think I used too much water applying it. Deciding now on whether to be picky and replace it or just leave it be and let it get coralined up. Next up also is a decision on the widely debated, tank - styrofoam - plywood issue. So many different opinions on that one.
