Bakki Shower - set up
I have just set up my new Bakki shower from Absolute koi but didn't realise it doesn't come with the shower head pipework.
Would anyone be able to explain ideally in a photo showing their shower pipe setup
I imagine its just a 2" pipe with a series of holes run across the head
How is the pipework supported from side to side
I have a 4" gravity return with a valve just below the shower base and a 2" feed to the shower with a Aquaforte DM Vario 20000
Thanks

with the 20000lp vario a 2in spraybar is enough . ive a 3in atm which is too big for a 20000 with less than a meter head

Wait, what so the momotaro bakki showers don’t come with a spray bar!???
Sounds rather poor if not for what they cost!, I mean how much is it really to supply a piece of pre-drilled plastic pipe with one end capped off!!?

Yeah but are we talking running that pump flat out, or are you just referring to the 30k having more/better head so it just does it easier!?

I have a 3" pipe with and end cap on and lots of holes drilled over my double width Bakki.
It sits on the top, does not require fixing there as is heavy enough not to move.
I am running it from a Flowfriend pump usually at about 1400 rpm.

Thanks, everyone for the help, I have ordered some fittings and will rig a 2 " pipe up, also thanks for the photos as wasn't sure about arranging the stones
I've lost count of the orders I have placed for extra fittings, why am I always a few fittings short
Really miss having a local koi shop
