+Capt. Obvious Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah....so...as it turns out, Mag18's sure can move water (& how!) Long story short: Hooked up the feed hose to my bullet 1 skimmer from my mag18 plugged in mag 18 watched the glory that is 1800gph jammed into a skimmer... marveled at the bubble creating power of the beckett injector watched in amazement at the hose blasting off the barb fitting (which took considerable effort to put on) was appalled by the amount of water spewed in my face as i raced to unplug the pump. was amazed at how cold 80 degree water really is was pissed. end of story... needless to say lesson learned...and others please learn from my lesson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I super glue tubing onto barbs. It lubricates to make it easier to install and then no metal parts in tank water to rust or corrode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ysanford Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hey that was and act of nature. Who knew that gravity worked on perpetual motion. And to manually induce a siphon would cause in to keep going even if you want it to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scuba instructor recommended wet suits. I was thinking hmmmm 78 degrees isnt too cold. After sometime just sitting at the bottom of the pool the shivers start! Only another 1 hour and a half and I get to finally warm up. Lesson learned if the instructor suggest doing something do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
