Hi,
I'm contemplating building a filter system and while that seems fairly straightforward, I wanted to ask a few questions:
1: best possible design for a filter (internally)
2: pumps! I've heard some people run a pump on the exit of the filter which makes good sense, but with this design surely you would need to have an air tight filter to maintain a flow rate? And also inlets/outlet position (top or bottom)?
The filter and the internals would be my first project, I can likely get a PVC or ABS 100 litre barrel to start the build but need to know relevant obstacles with designing such a thing.
In addition I can get hold of a pump that's non submerged easily which is why I want to run it after the filter to save any blockages but this creates other problems as I'm sure some of you are aware.
Any input would be great!
Thanks
