Love it. I just set it up in my chest freezer and it's already so much better than my marineland pump. Thank you for making it! 🙏
I’ve been following this project for a few months now. I have collected some materials such as the GE filter and filter housing, as well as the danner pump.
If you could provide a link to the correct fittings you used to attach the filter housing to the pump. And the connector between the Venturi adapter and the filter housing.
Thanks a lot
Such a sick setup man. I cant wait to get mine. Im currently running 2 marineland filters with your 3D printed accessories. I think this will be a game changer tho! Question - Do you recommend purchasing a second replacement filter for quicker filter changes, since you sanitize the one that was being used and it takes some time before its ready? If so, where do you recommend we buy them? Also do you recommend the 5 micron or 30micron more?
I definitely should have included a link to the filters. I think these work really well. They can be sanitized,but not scrubbed with a brush.

This whole set up can use outside of a tub also correct going into a chiller. You would just hook the hoses to the pump connected to the filter just the way that you did the hose to the chiller and then a chiller to the tub.?
@@georgefrazier8404 this system is designed for submerged use.
Ignorant question.. But what's the best way to pull the prefilter off without having the debris fall back into the water since the suction is gone?
Good question! I have great luck by carefully pulling straight up on it, and not too slowly. This drives some flow through the pre-filter and pins the debris to it.
How long is your water typically lasting with this setup? Sorry if this is a duplicate question.
@@jackhoward1335 it can easily last me over a year.
I Live in the UK, where can I buy this pump.
@@tomwatson27 I have sent a number of kits overseas. But, be aware, you would need to use a stepdown transformer rated for at least 3 amps.
Send me your full mailing address to apexeightysix@gmail.com and I will get you a shipping quote.
How many hours a day do you personally run this for?
I shut the freezer and pump off for 9 hours a day, and run everything the rest of the time.
could send a link of 5 micron replacement filter cartridge you are using
I have those linked here: apex86.square.site/faq
Awesome ,
How do you recommend adding a skimmer to this?
I haven't worked on a skimmer option yet.
Nice! How soon before you have the whole kit for sale?
The product page is live. Currently restocking for another batch of kits:

Could this be used in an ice barrel (wine barrel conversion)?
I don't see why not.
Your pump is meant to pump 5x the volume of water. do you have bigger pumps
Pump flow is much more complex than that. I assume you mean the GPH rating should be 5x the water volume. A pump's nominal flow rating (if it is even accurate at all) is based on having zero restriction. Actual flow reduces rapidly as you add plumbing, filters, etc.
Many people use 1200 GPH pumps in externally plumbed, chiller based plunges, with much larger tanks than most freezers. Compared to a system like that, mine will flow more than double, probably closer to 4x.
But, if you are dead set on a larger pump, you can buy all my custom parts and source a Danner 1600.
What size are the PVC Union and fittings?
3/4"
How do I find all these parts together?

Will this work on 100 gal Rubbermaid ?
It should work. You don't have a step, so you would run with the filter canister facing upwards. You just need a flat place for the pump base to sit.
So just put together, fill up the tub and plug it in ??? of course adjust to work and sit on the bottom
@@AGreekandhisGirl you got it!
Need discount code
I already have it marked down quite a bit. If you go around and add up all the prices, I think you'll find this is a significant savings, and much less hassle.
The pump alone is $135. So for $100 more, you are getting a filter element and housing, union, adapters, high-flow venturi, pump base, and pre-filter.
@APEX.86 you're correct. The pump on Amazon is around $120 it's self.
How much will this set up be?

💪 does the pump also run on 240V (EU)?
Unfortunately, all the Danner pumps are 120v/60hz :/
You could email them and see if they have considered a 240v option.
Buying looks so simple just what I was looking for!
is there a reason you don't pull the water through the filter first instead of needing a pre filter? it seems weird to filter before the pump then after the pump.
@@extremelyboardjmp pumps are designed to push against a restriction, not pull through one. The pump efficiency suffers a lot with a restriction on the inlet. It can also cause cavitation in the pump which can damage it.
This is awesome
man i wish i would've found this a couple weeks ago when i was giving myself a headache for figuring out a filtration system.
The pump seems overkill for more 😅
@@vtteq you need a powerful pump to filter at 5 microns and still have enough flow for a strong venturi injection. The beauty of a big pump is, it has enough circulation to kick all the small particles up and filter them out, and then you can choose how long to run it each day. With a small pump, you can run it 24/7 and still have lots of particulate in your water.
Even in a 93* garage, with the pump running 16 hours per day, my entire system (freezer, pump, ozone) costs about $10 / month to run.
@@APEX.86 here in germany the kwh € is 0.35$ 😅
@@APEX.86 the other problem is that i need max. 2.500l/h and there are no options over 60w
I have a blow up plunge and I want to add a purification system to it-but it needs to be outside-is there anything for that?
I haven't tried in an inflatable, but as long as you have a flat section of floor to rest the pump, it should work.
It is ok to have it on a timer to turn off for a couple hours during plunging schedule? Does it turn the pump when it starts and stops? Some people say that it does
Definitely. Check out my FAQ for some notes on scheduling: apex86.square.site/faq
Wheee did you get the base?
It comes with the kit, or can be purchased separately:
