PMUP stand/bracket

Sleepydoc · Dec 2, 2017

I got a Neptune ATK and have the PMUP in my ATO reservoir. The bends in the plastic tubing that came with the PMUP tend to make it tip over, so frequently it ends up on its side and starts sucking air before the reservoir is empty and before water level drops below the sensor I have at the bottom.

Does anyone have any ideas on a good stand or bracket that wold hold the PMUP upright?

Could have sworn I saw someone make one out of acrylic and then glue it to the inside of their acrylic ATO container. It was like a mini sock holder. Can't find the thread tho.

Finally found the one I'd been thinking of:

Awesome! Thanks for the idea, Don. Just put a quick holder together with some scrap acrylic I had laying around. I'll see how it does holding the pump. If I need to, my plan is to drill some holes in the tall back piece and put some suction cups in to stick it to the wall.

(for those who didn't see the video posted above, the bottom cage of the PMUP screws off, so I simply unscrewed it, put the threaded portion though the hole and screwed it back on.
