Hi all. My 90 gallon tank sprung a small leak. I bought a new 150 gal dual corner overflow tank. My first tank (90 gal) was plumbed by a friend of mine whose tank I bought. This new tank is my first experience at plumbing. I'm a little afraid I will do it wrong plus it has dual overflows and Im not sure how to do this. I have two plumb kits and it will have durso air admittance valve. The man I purchased it from said all I had to do was put in the t connector. I have researched this extensively and cannot find a diagram. Does anyone have a diagram that shows how to do this? Thanks for all info. Deb
 


Lots good youtube videos showing you what to do.
If you understand diagrams then look at diagrams.
For me i prefer to be showed in person or watch youtube videos.
I would say dont worry about plumbing its very easy,especially plastic pipes ( easy for me to say as im plumbing and heating engineer) but seriously just start it and will all fall into place for you.im guessing all original pipework still there for you ?
If any rubber washers are looking a little worn.then maybe good idea to replace these.as heat and saltwater corrodes everything eventually ,depending how old tank and pipework is.but as tank empty.now is time to replace anything that looks a little worn
