Atachments For A Superfish ECO Plus 20000
I have a superfish ECO Plus 20000 that I bought used a while ago I need some attachments so I can use it for another project. Im sure Im just being a gorm but I cant find bugger all for it. Im after a screw on hosetail for the outlet so I can attach a flexible pipe and Im also after something similar that screws on the inlet so I can solvent weld onto it. Or would a rubber boot be better on the inlet as it measures about 60 mm. Any help would be greatly recieved

If you use a rubber boot use plenty of PTFE.
I was advised against using rubber boots on mine, then I discovered they are standard BSP threads and threaded connectors fit perfectly.
Just make sure they're threaded connectors with good quality seals. The first ones I bought for mine leaked.
This is the sort of thing I mean, first thing that came up in the search and they're not the ones I used so check they've got rubber seals and are correct size first, or search on a koi dealer website:

What size would I need for the inlet? Seems an odd size.
Cheers

RudeDogg1,
If you consider using rubber boots be aware that they are not all the same. Most of the less expensive ones have more PVC in them which makes them slightly stiffer so you get what you pay for or just what your local stockist sells. Flexseal rubber boots are made using EPDM and are more flexible, the EPDM has a higher co-efficient of friction than the PVC varieties and they also have a couple of ridges on the inside which helps with sealing against pipework. Quality costs though, so they are a bit more expensive.
