Thanks for posting this. I had thought about doing something similar a couple weeks ago. I hadn't thought of the RO canister though. That is a great idea and will be plug and play with the way I top...

I posted a couple weeks ago when I modified my 3700. I purchased the regular impeller so I did not need to hack up the needle-wheel. I cut off the paddles and left the small disk at the bottom of the...

Well, I suppose they could have made them both ways. This pump is about a year old and the needle-wheel is definitely all one piece. I would guess that if you have the 3 piece kind it would have some...

The needle-wheel on the OR3700 is one piece. I bought a regular impeller to do the mod with so I wouldn't ruin the needle-wheel. If you look at the very end you will see a small ring...

Magnets are really brittle so the epoxy comes off pretty easily. I've gotten them from a couple places with the same results. The nickel coated ones seem to be more durable, although they would need...

Did you actually read that article? It does not support your argument at all. It's mostly comparing T8 and T5HO.

That's not true at all. T5's and MH are almost the same effiency wise, with T5's...

I know you said you clean the skimmer regulary, but do you take the injector off and clean it also? A snail shell in the injector is pretty common on that skimmer.
