Flow Swing

[solitude127]

[MENTION=6242]AquaticLife[/MENTION], what are the dimensions of the 3/4" and 1" flow swings?

The flow swing is about 2.5" x 3.25" x 3.25". Few photos attached for review. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Is there a magnet upgrade for this?

Sorry, I didn't see the picture but it's about 3.5" tall too? Can you take a front view picture with the ruler vertical?

That's pretty cool

i would guess the height is 3.25" 2.5" x 3.25" x 3.25" lxwxh

That's pretty cool. My sea swirls are going bad. Now I can replace them with these. Just ordered one to test out

 

[solitude127]

for $20, it might be worth trying.

 

[johnwin84]

Yep, and if I don't like it I'll use it to mix salt water

 

[barbazoid]

keep us posted on it!

Can someone give me more details on this? Does it plug in like another pump or is it plumbed in?

I am looking for some random flow and wonders if this might work

oh man, that's so awesome...
[MENTION=6242]AquaticLife[/MENTION] can you mount them upside down...? say, with the motor sticking up...? in case your tank is drilled... can the motor be outside of the water and the outlet inside the water surface...? i'm sure you can have them in with a 90 elbow going downwards... but i wouldn't want the return that low from the surface in case the pump turns off... so having it stick out of the water would make more sense...

more sense to me... LOL...

water has to be force into the device. think of it as a smaller version of the sea swirl. water inlet is on top thats my guess and looking at the design

Great minds think alike [MENTION=2546]gumbii[/MENTION] . This is exactly what I want to do that's why I was asking for a picture of the front with a vertical ruler.

BOOM!!!... always looking for that smart and simple way..

yeah... if it's really tall, then you'll have to drill the holes lower than usual... this could be a good upgrade to my tank... the return hole is around 2 inches under the water... the elbow uses up 1inch, and need to see how much the thread and outlet stick up to see if it will stay submerged or not....

ahhhhh great idea

Sorry for the delay, photo of the front view with adapter connected. It will be a little shorter as the PVC pipe will install about 1/2" to 3/4" into the base.

Only temporary. Parts i hand on hand. It attached to my old sea swirls.

Thank you. What's the expected life of the motor? or maybe better to ask, what's the longest you guys have had one running?
