Diffuser thingy and where to buy some

Final-approach · 04-15-2003, 08:51 PM

Good day everyone !! Does anyone know where to buy those hang over the tank diffuser things? The thing that plugs into a 3/4in return hose from the sump. I got one when I bought my wet/dry which is now a sump but I need 3 more. Anyone have any for sale here or know where I might be able to get some?
Quick I might add

Thanks as always !!

Francis, do you mean like the hook over the edge and snap on diffuser like used on the magnum canister filter? They are actually closer to 5/8 and fit SNUGLY on 1/2 ID hose. I had used 4 of these on my return via a manifold but now I am down to 2 since I am using a much smaller return pump
Anyway the Magnum fitting should be obtainable thru LFS easily

Sorry for the bad picture but I scanned it

. Yes Doug I believe we are on the same page. I can't find these things anywhere. Has anyone made any of these somehow? I am totally PVC illiterate so I thought I would try to buy them.

Yah thats them, any LFS store should be able to get them for you for about $5 each. They are nice cause they have less resistance than some fittings
the other option is to make a return manifold prom PVC and using the flexy Line Loc(tm)

Francis, They have them at my LFS, I think they are getting $9 or $10 for them, if you want I will get some for you and ship them to you.

Thanks folks!! Dale, I emailed you and I really appreciate the offer. Like I said, Gardnerville Nevada isn't the end of the world but you can see it from here

Getting ANYTHING around here is a pain in the rear !!! Good night everyone, Charter is shutting down our cable till 8 tomorrow morning. I guess thier going to mess things up some more

rio also makes one of these that is pretty slick, it's a dual unit.. looks the same, but it has a T fitting and then branches into two hooks and directionals. it's really slick. my lfs carries them for 25 bucks. i think that's my next low cost purchase!
