Review on 🐠 Lifegard Aquatics Bulkhead Fitting Kit: Enhance Your Aquarium's Functionality by Mark Sharma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Where was it when I first started researching Revain?

This is the ideal solution (when space is not a concern) for water levels in deep water hydroponic cultures and DWC (RDWC) recirculation systems. It sticks out a few inches from the bottom of the bucket, but I've seen other hydraulic systems with much bulkier and even more leak-prone fluids. Be sure to use the gasket with the flat side against the INNER FLANGE. Bucket. Two grooves on the other side create a watertight seal around the hole. I made a rookie mistake and it still doesn't leak, but I lined everything up correctly and tested it on the water. Perfect seal. Please note that 1/2 inch sockets, ball valves and connections are very leaky. Even if you cover every surface of the bucket with silicone, water will eventually seep through. Scots appear to be a way to recycle water, although they can be expensive depending on where you buy them. I'm learning this the hard way and now I have a huge pile of parts that I can't use. I will sell them on a competing platform.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long lead time
