For all of you that have been waiting for me to post this here it is:
DIY Kalk reactor
Parts and Tools List:
1) (1) 18†piece of sch 40 PVC 6â€Â
2) (1) 6†end cap
3) (1) 6†coupler
4) (1) 6†to 4†reducer
5) (1) 4†to 2†reducer
6) (1) 2†inspection/cleanout with cap
7) (1) 12†section of sch 40 PVC ½ inch
8) (1) ½ inch slip/slip 90 elbow
9) (2) ½ inch slip/thread 90 elbow
10) (2) ½ X ½ Nylon Barb to MIP Adapter (you may also use ½ to 3/8ths)
11) (2) small hose clamps
12) 12†of clear vinyl tubing to fit above nylon barb
13) (2) ¼ X ¼ MIP Quick connect straight valve
14) (1) small Can of clear PVC cement
15) (1) roll of Teflon tape
16) (1) ¼ inch 18 NPT Pipe Tap
17) (1) 13/16 butterfly drill bit
18) (1) 7/16 drill bit
19) Shop rag
20) Drill
21) Hammer
22) Marker
23) Mag 2 pump
24) Syringe (used one from an old test kit)
First thing you want to do is make sure all your parts are clean, glue the end cap and the coupler to your pipe. Do not be shy with the glue otherwise you will have leaks (like I did). Just above the end cap drill a 13/16th’s hole and just below the coupler and offset about 2 or 3 inches drill another 13/16th’s hole. Cut 1 piece of ½ inch pvc long enough so that it ends approximately center of the inside and has about 2 inches outside of the main pipe (approx 5 inches in length), cut another piece so that it just goes inside and sticks out about 2 inches (approx 2.5 inches in length). The long piece goes on the bottom hole(next to the end cap) and the short piece go’s in the top hole (next to the coupler). Glue these in place and glue the 90 ½ slip/slip on the inside of the long piece of ½ inch pvc so that it points straight down.***(See pictures)***
