looks nice, how is that center PVC drain and overflow working? is it loud? did you use a circular saw to curf the slots in it?

looks great Manny. wonder if there is an DIY eductor ( or whatever they are called on the return pipes) thread somewhere on line. guess i am off to search the web.

**thesaent14** · 10-04-2007, 11:13 PM

i made a mofler for the pipe and there is no sound coming out of it and yes i use a saw for the slots
