Mr. Aqua OHF and powerhead advise needed
Hi everyone looking for some help!
I recently had this problem of my piping for my powerhead (Atman 104) coming loose at the joint despite my best efforts to secure the piping with those kind of white tape. Thinking of re-doing my entire OHF piping system to ensure no leaks happen again. Hope I can get some advise on the following:- 1) Which powerhead is value for money with 1200l/hr flowrate (minimum) and easy to secure to an overhead piping system 2) how do you all secure the joints of your overhead filter system? Thinking of visiting seaview to get all the required parts. For the piping is it better to use a hose or PVC piping? |
besides using "white" tape, you can use quick-dry epoxy to seal the joints, especially the L joint to the rain bar.
Altnatively you can DIY the rain bar (13/15mm) and the main piping upwards (20mm) which I recently did. Hose and PVC pipes both works, depending on your preference. |
Thanks for the reply Ray! Possible to show a photo on how the DIY was performed?
