modified SCWD (1" MPT in, 2x 3/4" MPT out)


hi there,

i recently modified a SCWD to remove the restrictiveness that comes with the OEM unit

it now has a 1" inlet, and two 3/4" outlets, all of them with MPT fittings.
because the inside rotating drum is smaller, the 3/4 should not be a restriction as water flow will be sent 100% to one outlet, and roughly 30-40% to the other, at the same time.

the fittings have been "glued" using 3 adhesives.

firt a two part pvc repair "putty-like" glue.
once hardened, the edged were glued with loctite superglue.
on top of that, a layer of "amazing goop" was added.

this thing should not come apart


i have not yet used it, and currenlt my build plans have changed, so anyone who would like a modified SCWD, this one is up or grabs.


if anybody is interrested, i'll post a picture later tonight.


J.

How much are you selling it for? Although, I'm curious how it will generate 140% output flow.... Or did you mean that 60-70% of the input volume will go to one outlet and 30-40% to the other?

i'll probably sell it for the price of a new unit. not looking to make a profit here

and yes, my math was way off
60-70% to one 40-30% to the other outlet. (this is just a guesstimate, it may be 80% and 20% too)
