Plumbing / Electricity Questions with RA
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 7:49 am
Hey All - wanted to run my plans by the group for thoughts.
I want to automate my top off system by using my water storage in the basement.
I have an RODI container and a Saltwater container.
Was going to install an external pump (I have a blueline 30x) between them with true unions coming out of each container. The RODI would be open most of the time, the saltwater for water changes.
I would plumb PVC to my display tank (about 24 feet total, 10ft head).
I was thinking about running an extension cord from my RA to the pump in the basement.
I would have to cut the cord and re-attach to get it through the flooring.
Would the extension cord be too long? Is that a fire hazard? Any other possible solutions?
