04-03-2006 20:23 by Linda Chenapa	What pipework do you mean? As far as I know, there are only 2 hoses anyway?

04-03-2006 20:26 by dave cook	i mean spray bar and in/out let pipes do you own one
04-03-2006 22:53 by Linda Chenapa	No I don't, you don't NEED a spray bar, although it helps to add oxygen to the water, you do need an in pipe and an out pipe or else it won't work.
04-03-2006 23:14 by dave cook	no linda i mean this lot of pipes can it run with out them
05-03-2006 06:51 by Linda Chenapa	Unless you have some other pipe work, the short answer is no. As long as you have a strainer (I) attached to some pipe work to take the water from the tank to the filter. At this point I would recommend that you put some sort of double taps. This will help when you need to clean the filter. Then you need some pipe work to take the water back to the tank, again, put some double taps in line. As I said earlier, a spray bar helps to add oxygen or you can just have the water retuning directly from the pipe work. Is the problem that you have not got the bits and bobs in your photo?
05-03-2006 07:28 by dave cook	yeah theres some one selling the filter for £25 its just missing all the pipe work in photo i can buy it all off rena but its £60 shame do you think i should stay away from it
05-03-2006 08:41 by Linda Chenapa	Yes! You can buy it new with all the media and pipe work plus a guarantee for £80 from Aquacabdabra, there may even be places that are selling it cheaper. If you can get the filter on it's own for less, then you can go to any lfs and buy the pipe work, bends, strainers etc for a lot less then £60. As long as the pipe is the same diameter, there will be no probs. Best of luck
