Today I installed the Bubble Blaster 3000 on my Vertex IN-180. The connection plumbing needed 1" I.D. PVC plumbing and a few minor adjustments but other than that it was an easy modification. This pump easily outperforms the stock Resun pump. I will post photos tomorrow.
Hey, I was wondering if you have any pictures. I am going to be making this same upgrade.
ReplyDeleteI don't, it was very simple, all you need is a piece of 1" PVC plumbing. The side that fits into the skimmer needed a little trimming to fit so I used a dremel with the sanding attachment to sand down the PVC for a tight fit.
ReplyDeleteI plugged mine in, and the bubbles are overflowing with the setting wide open. Did you have any problem like this? I'm afraid to leave it run as I have to have the water drain unplugged for it to not overflow.
ReplyDeleteNope, mine never overflows when the pipe is all the way open.
ReplyDeletehow much water do you have the skimmer in.. I have mine in 9 inches of water
ReplyDeleteThe water level is 8"
