This is the only picture I can find on my phone of my SVS3-36. I had Jeff use Schedule 80 fittings and blue pipe (I sent them to him) to match my plumbing.

Now that's a sump!

I just bought a used svs3-24 and was curious what are you guys running for pumps? Wanted to keep it a dc pump if possible. Thanks

Varios 6 or dcp10000

I take it I wouldn’t have to run the jebao at 100%

I run it at 100% I see more bubbles and more turbulent bubbling in mine.

I just ordered a 30” Skimmer from Jeff and plan to use a SP-4. Will that pump work okay with the 30” Skimmer?

 

[markstubb]

probably a little small. just ask jeff. he knows these things pretty well

I have bought a sp4 and tried it on my 24 inch and it doesn't push in as much bubbles as the varios6 I used. I think these skimmers really needs a pair rates pump if not you need one with that moves lots of water.

I'm using a DCP 8000 on 40 with no issues.

No run it flat out.

That’s interesting. The Varios6 puts out lower GPH than the SP-4 and is not pressure rated. The SP-4 handles head much better than the Varios6. I wonder why you found that the Varios6 performs better on your skimmer. I’m not saying I don’t believe you. I just find it interesting. Thanks for the info.

I ran them side by side and the various was a lot better.

Cor 15 here on my Lifereef. 100% and do not see a reason to run it any lower. Works great.

This showed up yesterday , now to figure out plumbing.

Hey does anyone know how to fix lifereef float switch??? I have of them but they both seem to give out stray voltage

 

[Salahunreal]

Bubbles are in the body but not a lot as it should be

A question
The white RO tube is for waste drain?

 

[cono]

Yes

Returning home from work last night, as I drove into my driveway, much to my delight, this was sitting on my front step! I felt like a 6 year old on Christmas morning! Hope the neighbors weren't watching!

I hope to get this fired up tonight! Once running, I'll post some more pics.

All the necessary fittings, hoses, and clamps you would need to install.
(Note: I had the COR 20)

Quality craftsmanship for sure! Jeff did a great job!

To connect the COR 20, I didn't want a bunch of adapters, so I whipped this
up this morning.

Nice colors
How its going with the COR20 and the skimmer. I have two pumps, COR 20 and Turbine dual output. I was planning to use the turbine due for the manifold and skimmer its 9000 Lph and the COR 20 for return.
