Good info. Here's a tip for a 3 or 4 inch pipe where you can't a good angle to push into the uniseal. I took a ratchet strap and ran it around the tank and over the open end of the pipe. If the tank is stiff enough, you can ratchet that pipe right through the uniseal with little effort. If the barrel wants to cave in, you can use a 2x4 crossways inside to hold the barrel open while you ratchet. This has saved me many headaches and brute force.
Great video for unseals. I struggled with mine but found that Palmolive dish soap made a huge difference. It was a new build so I had to clean the filter after building it anyway. I sued 1 1/2 and 2 inch ones
These look great , i am currently working on my own two barrel system. Unfortunately, i have leaks on two of my tank connector/ bulk head seals 1 1/2 inch , due to not getting a perfect cut from my whole cutting saw , its left the hole slightly mishaped , im hoping that once these go in, they'll tighten up that space and stop the leak
Rule of thumb two pipes to 2 exit pipes of the same diameter as the forced intake pipe should be used. Examp!e: 2 inch pipe pushing water in with pressure and 2 2 inch pipes excitinging water out by natural flow. This will prevent overflow.
I would say no. At least in a traditional sense. If you have a pool that is chlorinated then this will not work. It uses good bacterias to assist in the process. If you have a natural pool (which is better) then yeah it could help. But, you would need multiple of these to filter a larger pool. Usually, for that, you would go to a Wetland filter. Which is the same idea on a larger scale.
If you use plumbers silicone grease on the entire uniseal it make assembly easier as well as helps prevent weeping/leaking around the seal.

Good idea. So far, I haven't had that large of one that I have used.

I have used Dawn Dish soap.

Food grade silicone grease on the uniseal will help when you push in the pvc.
great idea

What about if the incoming pipe was 2" and you had x1 3" outflow pipe?
For your holesaws just drill 1/4 inch hole first then you have no issues starting with holesaw later
What size pipe..ty
Hi
Could I use those kind filtration systems In swimming pool?
I would say no. At least in a traditional sense. If you have a pool that is chlorinated then this will not work. It uses good bacterias to assist in the process.

So I’m confused. I’m using 1” pipe so I should get a 2” uniseal?
No 1" Sch 40 pipe needs a 1" Uniseal. The hole size for the 1" uniseal will be 1.5".
does Home Depot sell inch-and-a-half uniseals
I have not had great luck finding any Uniseals at Home Depot.
@@BabblinginmyBackyard Couldn't find any at any hardware stores. Amazon had them.
It's far better to put the drill on reverse to cut the main hole. It makes a much neater cut and will not stop the drill or make it jump.
I will try this next time. Thanks for the tip.
@@BabblinginmyBackyard you're welcome.
Hi could you help me please
What do you need help with?
