Water Change Pump

[darthpaul]

Does anyone use a pump to do water changes? Got my RO water in a 25 litre jerry can and was thinking it would be much easier to pump it back into the tank through some airline or hose than using a bucket and jug.

If so what pump do people use?

 

[parotet]

Yep... I decided not to have backaches anymore and I purchased an Eheim pump. I cannot remember the model but it is the one that ensures pumping water at least 1.5 meters high, so I can leave the 30 liters plastic barrel I use on the floor and fix the airline to -the tank. As it has a good flow the tubing has a good diameter so all the work is done quite quickly

What about this I don't use one but it looks ok. I personal use my old aqua one pump that I upgrade when I bought my tank.

Hi, what i have got is a pressure tank connected to my RO ( it came wth the RO system) and hose connected to the tank. two valves one close to the tank and one on the other side of the hose. Every time I do WC turn on the close one first and then go with the hose in my hand to the aquarium and turn on the second valve to fill in. Very simple and effective system. I am thinking of auto WC with solenoid valves and float sensor and timer.

Thats the tank itself

opps dident mean to post that much sorry !

I use a combination of a JBL u750 whose outlet suits a standard hose pipe, to pump waste water onto front lawn and an Eheim Compact 1000 (16mm outlet) to pump warmed water from water butt into tank. With the 16mm Eheim I bought thick walled PVC pipe as a lot easier to clamp into place on tank edge and doesn't suffer from "crimping" (blocking the flow) unlike standard wall 16mm PVC pipe.

Just search on ebay for circulation pumps - mine has a 18mm outlet on it and I just bought some hose separate. Makes water changes so much easier!
