Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
So, just a little something I would like to pass on... and maybe if I really scoured FRESHBAIT's post here I would see it, but I learned the hard way... when building everything after a mockup, remember that you don't want to permanently fasten the fittings right at the bucket (filter). I glued everything together except the hardware actually in the filter, but you want the ability to be able to wash out your filter and be able to move it. Don't glue all the pipes right into the thing! I'll be cutting off my ball valves when the time comes.
PVC Unions will correct that issue.
