Mixing station pump ?

[sharkbait-uhaha]

I was looking into starting a mixing station in my garage and was wondering what everyone is using as their main pump. ill be using 30g brute trash cans for now until I am ready to upgrade to something better ( if needed).You are more than welcome to post your setup to give me ideas.

I just mix in a four gallon bucket with a cheap power head and heater. Been working fine, I use it once a week, for the past two and a half years.

I was actually just looking at their Jeboa MDP 10000 smart DC pump, Wondering if that can be plumbed externally between the 2 brute trash cans ?

You bet. Here is my setup; left side is fresh, right is salt. you can control the flow with union ball valves

It’s a Jebao also, but larger model (DCP15000). Just a tip, I suggest putting up on something so you can drain out more easily doing cleaning

Gotcha , the one I’m looking at seems to have metric fittings though, so I’ll have to convert it to standard
