Seio 1500 mounting mods (simple)

[edsreef]

Here's a simple mounting mod to mount the Seio's "Tunze Style", from a hanging brackett, and having the ability to turn them side-to-side or up-and-down. All of the pieces came in my box and the only tool you'll need is a drill and bit.

This photo shows the pieces used:

Put the angle brackett into the swivel mount like this:

Next, use a pencil or fine tipped marker to trace the hole:

Remove the angle brackett and drill a hole for the long plastic screw to go through:

Next, put the angle brackett back into place:

Slip the hanging brackett into position:

Put the long plastic screw into the hole and thread it into the angle brackett:

Snug up the plastic screw and mount the brackett to the pump:

Hang it, position it, and fire it up!

great mod for the seios. Was looking for a way to mount them on the swivel with the whole pump in the tank.

thanks Larry

Doing it now...

Great tip. We should call this the "edsreef mounting method"!!

Thanks for sharing, great mod. I did something like that but had to use parts from a maxi kit. But I only had enough parts for one. Now I can do the same for my other one and this is a better mod, thanks edsreef.

Great job.

Curious as to why you need the angle bracket?

Is it just for the threads?

[edsreef]

yes

You get any more vibration noise from using the bracket? I'm using the suction cups right now.

[edsreef]

none whatsoever

Awesome Ed!

This is great. Thanks for the tip. I hate the suction cups.

While using the "edreef-mod", has anyone noticed the 1500s creating a vortex from above? My 1500s are positioned roughly 5 inches below the water surface. The mod restrict how far down they can be mounted. I am running a Maxi12 next to the Seio to prevent the vortex from forming.
