View Full Version : Regulate Water Flow
I got my Mag 24 pump today. May plan is to pump water from the water storage bin in the basement directly in the tank on the 1st floor.
I am looking for something that regulate the water flow into the tank so the discus will not be scared.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
go to the hardware store and get a ball valve....attach it to the end of your hose....the more you open the valve the stronger the flow...the more you close the valve the weaker the flow...
what i did was put a ball valve on the end of the hose, and then made a "hook shaped" end out of pvc that attaches after the ball valve so that i can hang the hose on my tanks...

Lots of the "quick connectors" (snaps two pieces of hoses together) have a lever so can regulate the water flow on the male piece - very cheap.

It sounds like you might be looking for something to regulate the speed of the pump. I have a pump that has this as an option(hydrothruster) Its a box between the plug and the motor with a nob to control the power. I would try Radio Shack for something simular. HTH rich

Easy cheap option ;)
from your pump you add a tee
Then on one end of the tee add a tap
the other end goes to your tank
open the tap to reduce the flow to your tank
works like a dream ;D ;D ;D

oops ...
obviously the tap flows water straight back into the tank and is really close to the pump ::) ::)
