Eductors on a SeaSwirl?

[Doubledown]

Anyone know if I can add an eductor/penductor to the output on a 3/4" SeaSwirl?

I know the SeaSwirl manual states not to add additional loc-line or tubing due to excess weight/resistance on the motor, but the eductors seem to be the same size as the nozzles that come with the SS.

I have 4 of the SeaSwirls and didn't want to drill for a closed loop with an OM4-way.

Thanks.


Also, since the eductors will be high in the water (roughly 1 inch from the surface) as they are attached to the SeaSwirl - will the eductors cause a vortex or otherwise suck air in and generate a bunch of bubbles?

The reason for not adding additional loc-line onto the SeaSwirls is that it will increase the back pressure within the SeaSwirl. For that same reason, the makers of the penductors say not to use them with SeaSwirls.

As to if you used the penductors up high, then I would say yes, you run the risk of creating bubbles within the tank.

Happy reading.

Thank you for the info. Back to the drawing board I go.
