Hey hey hey
So at the moment a 50% WC on my 300 litre tank takes me about 2.5 hours. A breakdown of that is 20mins cleaning the filter out, 45 mins siphoning water and cleaning the glass, 1.5 hours filling back up. I fill the tank back up via the shower. The shower hose is attached to a HMA filter which is then attached to a nitrate removal vessel and then a 6mm pipe comes out of that and into the tank. I could really do with cutting down on the filling up time.
I've heard that George does his in his kitchen sink. Has taps running into bucket so it's at desired temp, stick a pump in the bucket and then a hose off the pump into the tank. Adjust the flow on the pump to match the flow from the taps, add the correct amount of prime or similar product and voila.
Anyone else do it this way? If I do it this way this could save me a lot of time on my WCs.
