Open both the valves on the floppy side, then open both the valves on the unions. This is how the union valves are when filter is disconnected. Unplug-shut valves-disconnect at union-take filter to sink or outside clean-reconnect union-open valves and water from the tank will automatically refill your can- wait til the bubbles finish blowing out of your spraybar-replug in your chore is done. My 2260 is waiting for my next big tank (the need never seems to ease). I really love these guys too The two in the pics are actually 2250s I picked up with some used tanks. I think I need the 34 size (0.820 ID) for the 2534mm (0.984 ID) intake hose rather than the 1 size (1.05 ID) but just wanted to see which you went with. This page shows you how I have set up my 2260 on a 125G tank, and might give you some ideas for your own setup.Īmongst other things, it gives recommendations for filter media and talks about priming and snail proofing the filter, as well as making it even more quiet than it already is.Ĭould you check on the size when you get home I found similar valves made by Antelco for irrigation purposes. The true union valves allow you to close the valve (red handles in the pic) and disconnect the lower union without making a mess OR losing your siphon for smooth reconnectrestart. I wouldnt always use this method for WCs-sometimes its important to vacuum your substrate too. Here is my problem: I have no abilities in plumbing and I would prefer to buy the necessary parts in a regular home hardware store rather than in a fish store or on the internet. I thought that putting a shut-off valve of some kind right where the tubing enters the canister would allow to leave all the tubing on the tank, still full of water, disconnect only the filter to do maintenance then reconnect and not having to fuss a lot with priming as water is already in there. I was about to disconnect and empty everything and wait 2 weeks for my valves when I decided to try one last time. It features a simple to understand design, and prevents you from having to use your mouth to get the water flowing.
