    Hi all..just finished up my DIY coiled denitrator, I hope it's good to go. Now my question is, should I gravity feed (siphon) water out of my main down down to it, or splice into my pvc return line to feed it. The return line is pretty strong, so I would have to put a valve on the input to the denitrator, and one on the output, to control the drip.The gravity feed won't put alot of pressure on the denitrator, so I hope that will be good enough. I don't think pressure has anything to do with the process, and the less pressure, the less chance of a leak!!

    Please give any feedback ya'll might have...

    Thanks

    I believe BirdLady has made one. you may want to PM her.
    Also the flow rate is very improtant. Too Fast and the unit does not do it's job. Too slow and you will produce hydrogen sulfides.
