Hard Plumbing Sicce Syncra Silent

[MikeO5422]

Hi,

I suck at plumbing and I am looking for a way to hard plumb a sicce silent 1.0. Looks like it takes a 1/2 inch threaded adapter. I was wondering...would any of these parts fit and be able to convert directly to hard plumb?

What are you plumbing? A reactor? Return pump?

 

[MikeO5422]

A return pump.

How big is the tank? The sicce 1.0 if I remember correctly is 256 gph. Or something like that. You might need a bigger pump. How high is it from where the pump will be to the water line? Or shell I say how many feet will the water have to travel?

Your best bet to avoid vibration noise would be to do a small section of silicone hose and then go to hard plumbing. That's what I did with my syncra 3.0 and you can't even tell it's running.

@crabs_mcjones excellent idea. I just got a 2.0. Might steal your idea. Thanks!

I have vinyl tubing going all the way up and down. You can’t hear a peep. I also have sicce pumps on all my equipment so it’s really quiet. There’s one benefit or pvc. It looks good. But that’s it.

Anyone running a 4.0 thinking of picking one up how quiet are they

 

[JP79]

That’s what I have. Almost silent. I also keep it pretty clean so that might help. Been running for almost 3 years no problems and still quite as it was out of the box.

Anyone use it external inline? Not submerged in a watch change station setup? It works great but I can’t get a watertight seal from the cap that holds the threaded input against the pump.
