I am plumbing a water mixing station and I'd like to have one hose that I can quickly plug and unplug from any of three places:
- new saltwater reservoir
- RO/DI reservoir
- laundry sink (not critical, but would be nice)
This is in addition to a hard-plumbed line to bring NSW to the sump.
I've read that you can use marine/RV hose for a reef tank. What do I need for the connections, including things like unions, valves, ? My current dry fit, all 1" pipe with slip connections, is shown in the pictures below. My plan is to turn the two elbows on the lower left and lower right into tees. I don't know what should come off those tees. The capped off line coming out of the pump will go to the sump.
I would love for someone to explain to this me like I'm a five-year-old, as i get easily confused by the various fittings available. Thanks!
