Has anyone ran a seltz D 750 on a lagoon? I’m attempting to plumb mine in and it sits up a little high and puts pressure on the whole apparatus. If y’all could post pics of how you did your plumbing would be awesome and maybe some products that could make work but less congested.

This is what I came up with sir, just seems tight and puts a little upward pressure on the return flow nozzles because it’s slightly tall

Well you dont want too much pressure on the returns it might in time cause something to crack...i would shorten the tubing just a bit so its not as snug.

How I have it set up is as short as it can get with the adapters I’m using and is the whole issue, I shortened it already and the pressure is minimal but there. ‍♂️

Is it the one on the right causing problems? If the adapter is a barbed coupler that the tubing slips over ive had good luck trimming off a rib so things would fit before. If 1 rib was removed from each adapter id imagine youd have plenty of room for adjustment.

The right definitely has a bit more upward pressure But they both have a tad, ill see if I can shave the adapters down a bit and still have a snug connection. Yeah it’s just a y shape adapter o believe.

an eigth of an inch off the Y adapter and the tube attached to the main pump outlet and I think I’m going to be in much better shape guys.
