Hello DIY team! I'm planning out how to plumb a few things for my new tank. I'm going to run the plumbing either through the floor into the crawl space, or through the wall down into the crawl space. I'm considering options and was interested in opinions on the way to proceed.
Automatic waterchange w/ DOS
* Current thought: Wall plate with RODI connection drilled through (unless this exists), flex tubing connected - think this will be clean, and simple
ATO w/ DOS
* Current thought: same as AWC - wall plate, flex tubing (wall plate will have 3 RODI connections - AWC clean, AWC waste, ATO)
BIG water change
* 1/2 inch pex in/out, probably through a fiber wall plate
For the big water change, I would like the option to connect a python to the waste line so I can siphon the sand and not have to lug buckets. Any thoughts on easily accomplishing this? A splitter in the 1/2 out line with a on/off valve and adapter?
Thanks in advance for any input.
