    I went to Builders Warehouse, bought a few things and done. I used one of those plastic "loop" things that you get when buying a washing machine to support my pipe into the tank. A screw on filter up front. Here are some thoughts where I got my ideas from :)

    Thanks for the info I guess no one stocks it?

    Do you fill your tank directly with tap water? Hot or cold? When do you add your dechlorinator?

    Stocks what? It's called DIY :)

    Directly from the tap. I make it luke warm. In the ideal world you don't use any warm water because you can get metal in the tank if your element is stuffed. I add a cap full of prime as I start filling the tank. No problems.
