Curious how people plumb their ClariSea? I have a Reefer 350 and the drain is 32mm so I had to buy a slip x slip 32mm to 1”. I was thinking of hard line into the ClariSea so I could remove it, but would a piece of flex be easier? Is that something people even do?

The Bubble Magus filter roller I have came with a perfectly fit flex hose for my Red Sea plumbing and clamps. Works great! I don't think I'd want to hard plumb it honestly, it does need to come out occasionally.

You can, but it’s not easy. I did it on my 525xl, and replaced the redsea valve with a sears 1” valve. The red sea plumbing is considered 1”, but barely fits into a normal 1” pvc fitting. I had to put lots of pvc cement and silicone to seal. If you don’t replace the valve, and just connect original piping with a single coupler, you’ll have to use a lot of cement and silicone. Otherwise it will leak. It’s definitely worth it if you can do it.

My Red Sea drain is 32mm. You can buy a 32mm to 1” slip and everything fits together perfectly.

I was just thinking about using flex 1” out if the coupling and Into the inlet unglued so I could remove it.

Where did you get the 32mm to 1" slip? I was thinking of doing the same to my new 425 XL.
