Pumps (Iwaki70, Dolphin 1/15 hp, GEN-X PCX40)

GEO 612 Calcium Reactor

Thanks, I am working on getting a 36" steel stand made, just spoke to the builder a minute ago

Be careful with the stand. If you get saltwater on it, flush it with freshwater very well, then dry it completly. Salt and steel aren't good bedfellows.

I think I will powder coat it or maybe get it sprayed w/truck bed liner to keep it from corroding. Thanks for watching out bud

I came up on a good deal today and I am switching the Dolphin 1/15hp for a Wave I 1/6hp
