Eductors????

underseaworld · 08-05-2007, 03:29 PM

I have two 1 1/4" PVC pipes that flow water back into my tank and I wanted to try to make an eductor for the pipe. Is there anyone that may have details on how to make one for this size PVC?

I have a link to some instructions, but they are at my home PC. Give me a minute or 2 and let me see what I can think up.

That was easy, try this:

Charlie, Did you build one? If so what size did you use? I have two dart pumps that run my tank. I have four outlets for water flow. I was looking trying to do this to two of my out lets. The PVC is 1 1/4". The parts listed in the web site was for 1/2". Do you know if they make the the Barb fitting in 1 1/4"?

Thanks ed.

No I haven't made one yet. I think you could probably contact that guy on that site and find out everything you ever wanted to know about eductors. From what I understand, they really kick up the flow. Is there any way you can kick down the size of your outlet? From what I understood about these, it is better if the size of the outlet is smaller anyways, I may be wrong tho.
