Plumbing

I will be installing baffles in a sump soon to fit my new protein skimmer and I am wondering what is the best bubble trap design. I usually see the over-under-over style, but was wondering if under-over-under would be better?

My thinking is that since the air bubbles want to float, they would be less concentrated at the bottom of the water column, so it would be most efficient to grap water from the bottom of the sump. This is the 'under' part. The water rises up 'over' a second baffle ...

one of the new components on my RODI is an auto shut off valve, everything seems to be working, however when the autoshut off turns off, the lowest the preasure will drop on the systeem is 28psi and waste water is still produced, ive tryed waiting up to 20min for it to drop but it doesnt....does anyone have suggestions?

as the weather starts to get colder and the leafs begin to fall im beginning to dread winter, here most of the power lines are underground but we still get our fair share of power outages lasting a couple hours on average, this year I’m considering buying a UPS to protect my investment, im just wondering if anyone uses one? i was looking at TigerDirect and they have tones, at all different ratings and prices...sort of overwhelming

Just a quick question, I just redid some plumbing on my tank. With the primer and glue, how long should I let it "cure" before I turn the pumps back on???? TY

Managed to get enough plumbing done today to do a leak test on the tank. I still have some more to go for my reactors, but thats not necessarily a priority right now. So far, so good on leaks, which is surprising. I think I am going to work on my storage cabinet next, and it will house my CO2 bottle, dj power station, and ATO container.
