I spent a long time today constructing the plumbing system under the tank from PVC pipes and fittings. I have to say I give a lot of credit to the pipe fitters in the shipyard, that was a complicated jog making sure there was room for everything and flow went where I wanted it to.Nothing was actually glued together in this picture so there was a lot of leaks. Fortunately I was able to test the system out without having to use saltwater. The water that would normally return to the tank was just redirected to the overflow and thus stayed isolated from the tank water.
I'm glad I did the 'wet' run before gluing everything together. I noticed a problem with the design and was able to correct it.
Today was all the overflow piping. I rigged up a return system out of flexible tubing. Tomorrow I'll work with the 3/4" return piping.
Oh, and excuse the toes :)
