| well... I completed the suggested static K1 conversion to my primary vortex this afternoon. The suggested design took just under 4 hours to build with a total cost of $85 - all parts were readily available at my local HD.
Very simple design, very easy to complete. I will try and post pictures when I get back from our vacation next week.
The finished basket is 22" diameter X 24" deep. Total volume is 10.6 cubic feet. Hopefully it's big enough!!! It turned out to be smaller than I initially thought it was going to be.
Slotted pipe runs horizontal accross the top of the chamber, with 4 18" long slots 1/4" wide cut into the underside of the pipe.
I have not installed the media yet... any suggestions on quantity of K1 to purchase. Or any experiences with the Bio Flo-9 from rauschert mentioned earlier? Its about 1/3 the cost of the K1... |
