| I started another post asking what prefilters if any others use with bakki showers (considering pulling mine out to increase flow).
Update: Last weekend I borrowed a large strap wrench, swapped pumps, no change in flow, and later cracked the swing valve. I dismantled all the pipping. System is off line.
So what is my next move:
1. buy all new fittings and put system back the way it was?
2. Same as above but use a surface cap swing valve to eliminate craking couplings in the future?
3. Repipe the system some how to increase flow (see sketch), maybe take out the backwash pipping and valves, pipe directly to vortex (lower connection) then pipe return to pump inlet no valves, except at discharge (two way). I would leave the discharge valve on vortex. Also considered raising equipment up a cinder block (4-1/2" or higher, but I think this will make it worse) to assure during a flood equipment is dry.
What do you suggest? |
