Setup of Salt mixing

[Nanz]

I have a brute trash can I use to mix salt in and I wanted to run a piece of PVC to the bottom to connect my external pump to fill the DT with.

Anyways.. what is the best way to connect my pump to the trash can.

On the lower part of the trashcan...

1) Should I use a uniseal

or

2) bulkhead

I really dont want to ruin my brute trash can but I want to connect it to an external pump.

well, then just use flex tubing and simply make sure you prime the pump

I would just use a submersible pump, but out of the two choices I would think a bulkhead would be the way to go.

You can just go over the top of the brute, might be a little extra work but it can be done. So it is an option if you don't want to cut the can.

Basically you are making an upside down U tube. At the top of it but a "T" with a screw on end cap. On the end that goes into the trash can put a ball valve. (( hook up to the pump )) close the ball valve, unscrew the cap and pour some of the water into the pipe until it is full. Screw the cap back on, turn on the pump, open the ball valve, and there you go.

The top of the upsidedown U tube would look similar to this ---
(( for my undrilled sump with an external pump ))

Thats brilliant!

Yea, I wanted a way to prime the pump but could not figure it out.

Thanks :)
