Hey all,
I have x2 1750 GPH (110L per minute) 12 outlet air pumps I use for my undercurrent systems. Each comes with a 3/8" hose about 8" long that connects the pump to the 12 outlet manifold. I use 4x2" cylindrical air stones, however apparently they are rated for 5L per minute.
Both pumps put out a fair amount of heat... I'm assuming that the heat created by each unit is being pumped through the air stones and adding to my res temp issues.
Am I able to extend the 3/8" supply hose or will that mess with the output? I'd like to be able to switch to a 10' - 12' hose on each so I can relocate them to a cooler area. Since its a 110L/min pump and I'm only using 50L/min with the air stones, that should compensate for any loss in pressure over distance if thats an issue?
Thanks for the help!
