i havent connected the 20mm pipe to the scwd yet leh...hehehe..

[terryansimon]

I thought people just normally connect the outlet pipe from the pump direct into the SCWD?

if u can see from my pic..the size doesnt mate leh...any bros help help...haha...

[terryansimon]

I never knew sizes could mate. why don't you go get a flexible tubing or pipe instead of using a pipe like yours? I don't know....but urh I have the idea that its just from the pump to the outflow aka SCWD direct via one hose/tube/pipe.

You can not use pvc pipe. Buy those flexible plastic hose type and use a clamp to tighten it.

[roidan]

yeah lor...maybe have to buy 2 short piece of hoses so that can finally reduce to the scwd size...

i use ehiem hose which tightly fits and secure... then on the the other end use a 20mm thread white pvc pipe... works fine....

[terryansimon]

hey roidan...

how much did you buy your SCWD for? and from where?

Hi...Can you provide the ehiem hose is dimension, and do you need to heat up the hose, before insert the PVC pipe in?

I'm facing the same problem too. I've tried 16mm and 20mm pvc, but the eheim hose 16mm, that I'm using cannot fit in, so thinking of maybe will heat the hose and push the PVC pipe in.

[reefer guy]

hi! just check out the size of my hose --> its 16mm internal 20mm external... fits just right.. of course its a bit tight to sleeve it in, or it wont serve the purpose it was made for... piece of advice: try to cut the hose a bit into the section so it will come in a bit, from there u would have to force ur way through....

roidan, my offer is always open if in case u cant find lobang.....

[ah^siao]

i just bought a scdw from edmund.. only 80 bucks...

yeah.. like 1 hour ago?

[roidan]

reefer:

i managed to connect the stuff with some hose and a reducer inbetween..haha..

yeah..its tuff trying to push 2 different ends into the same hose...

[reefer guy]

i am using eheim 1262..rated at the same 3500l/hr as yours....but i will think that the eheim will push slightly more than the CR...coz eheim famous for good head pressure...
