Abyzz pumps worth it

[joseserrano]

I think they come with those conversion fittings, if not Coralvue should stock them

 

[tangreefkeeper]

nope no conversion fittings included. coralvue ones dont fit. i ordered the "correct" ones but dont fit

 

[tangreefkeeper]

so i ordered the "supposed" adapter from Coralvue it is the exact size for the inlet. when i say exact size, i mean its not an adapter, its like an extender i can glue on. makes no sense

anyone now where i can get these adapters so i can swap out my return pump

thanks

 

[tangreefkeeper]

anyone... ???

 

[Tikalize]

Mike have you seen this?

I don’t think too many people run these baller return pumps. They must be pretty awesome. I’m planning to just run 2 Varios-6 DC pumps, easier on the wallet, get similar redundancy, and easy to find parts/replacement.

 

[tangreefkeeper]

you're the man Tony. thanks for the video. it looks like my pump is missing the adapters that he shows with his

 

[Tikalize]

They may not come with the pump because most folks in Europe are good to go with metric plumbing.
These look like what is needed.

[tangreefkeeper]

thats my issue. i ordered the "correct" ones from Coralvue and they dont fit. theyre the exact size as the volute.
hopefully Coralvue can help as i summitted a Help Ticket

 

[Tikalize]

Ooh ok. What about these?
Metric to British, Imperial, US PVC Adapters | CoralVue
40mm to 1 1/4

 

[Tikalize]

no that wouldnt work. Lol

 

[Tikalize]

Metric to Standard PVC Coupler - Slip X Slip - Adaptive Reef - Bulk Reef Supply
DN40
40mm to 1/4

 

[tangreefkeeper]

ive looked everywhere LOL

has to be 1-1/2" and 2" since its so hard to find other sized fittings. Lowes is out of random fittings except for 90s and tees LOL

 

[Tikalize]

I looked up the a400 and it say the output is 40mm so the 40mm to 1 1/4 should work.

 

[Tikalize]

Lowes and home depot sucks for speciality fittings. I would go to ace or true value before those two stores but you wont find metric at any.

Ooh I totally missed the 1 1/2 and 2"
My bad...

 

[tangreefkeeper]

i should have known that an expensive pump like this would need more than what it came with to get it plumbed in

 

[Tikalize]

Yeah the pump cost a small fortune and to plumb it you have to find specialty fittings if you are in the states. It sucks that they require you to glue fittings to the pump to make it work. If you glue a union to it you are stuck with that brand union for the life of the pump if you tear down and replumb to another tank. Or replace the volute. I would glue a threaded adapter to it and use a threaded union the if you ever had to replace unscrew and use whatever brand replacement union is available

EXACTLY. no idea why it doesnt come with threaded adapters. i had to order Red Flag ball valves, 100.00 for 2, so that i can plumb this to the exact spot to swap my Hammerhead

Dayuummmm! I'm sure it's a great pump though. I haven't graduated to that status yet. I have a big ass Jebao DCP20000 sine wave pump feeding two tanks (300g/120g) from one sump with a brand new backup in the closet
Lol
