Update on the build and a suggestion for the drain line. This build is scheduled for production late next week or first thing the week after. There are only four big ones in front of it. We can easily add a full tank drain bulkhead for this as well. I have had very good success with pex tubing for this type of application. Sleeving the pex is a good idea too. We can discuss further in more detail.While we wait for a prototype on the stand, the build continues.
I would like to enable automatic water changes on this build. Sounds simple enough. The routing of the supply/drain lines is not. The tank will be located on an exterior wall. Running the lines under the floor is out due to being on a slab foundation. Thought about running them through cabinets but there is stove in the way.
Could I run them outside in some sort of conduit for protection from heat/cold, animals, etc? Total run length would be about 20’ to 25’ once there, I could bring them back in to the drain and salt water supply.
Everyone’s thoughts, tips, or tricks are appreciated!
