Hey all,
A couple of questions about the pvc pipe INSIDE the weirs and the bulkheads that go through the bottom of the tank.
It has been a long time since I touched them and forgot
1. Is there a SEPARATE piece of pipe on EITHER side of the bulkhead? I seem to remember that there are two pieces but am now unsure.
2. Will I harm the bulkhead fitting if I carefully/slowly remove the TOP section? Should I replace them anyway? They are original since 2002.
I want to replace most of the length with 2" pipe. Is currently 1". So the original pipe would remain but much shortened and then the larger pipe on top so to speak.
I figure that I can remove the top pvc pipe, replace with a capped section while I do the swap even though the bottom will remain hooked up and will not leak.
Then cut the pipe down and affix the 2" section/adaptor and then replace again.
I will then do the same UNDER the tank and increase to 2" where I can.
All of this to increase the volume of water to the pump.
Am I missing anything? Does it depend on the mfg of the tank? Or the whim of the builder at the time?
Sorry if these are too simple to ask.......
Much thanks in advance as always.....
