Glad to see it finally arrived Al

Looks like it has gone in really well.

How did you end up connecting up the spirrals? 10mm elbow compression elbow then step up?

You pleased with things?

Dave

Cheers Hawk....
Yea picked it up a couple of weeks ago Dave, drilled a few holes in it, what a job that was, then started fitting it last Thursday.

I tried speedfit but had a couple of leaks, so put the compression fittings on, they sealed with no problem and from there stepped up with 10mm-22mm hep2o adaptors.

Very pleased with it so far, although it has showed one thing, the streamflow design works very well and so the cleaning cycle of the drum is only every 40 mins, even with an 1&1/2" head loss between clean and dirty side. That said, the water clarity is noticeably better with reduced fines, there just seems to be an extra sparkle to it. I may swap pumps yet and pull more through it, need another chat with Mike when he's back from Japan.
