My feet are kinda gross. Otherwise getting frustrated with pump performance. I bought two, an Oase and Aqqa, both advertised as 2.5kLPH pumps, I am not even touching 1k. I even tried it with out the filtration system attached.
I left the Oase attached as it has that German reliability behind it.
I only lost about 1LPM with out any filtration, so it's probably just the resistance of my plumbing network at play.
I did use hemp and Neo fermit paste on some of the seals and can see some residue from the sealing paste in the water as it gets submerged when I hop in. I am a tiny bit concerned about it, but it's non toxic, so there's that.
And I did take off the hose adapter and just dumped a bunch of silicone sealing glue and set it. Fixed the drip no problem. There is a good bit of water when I come in and out, but I would say its perfect enough. Other than the pump flow rate.
The flow rate is a slight concern as the chiller is rated for about 1.5k LPH minimum, but it does awesome with the slower flow rate.
I hope to find a pump that would better compliment the chill as it is by far the most expensive investment in this setup.
Either way. This took about 10+/- days. I would have GLADLY paid for a grizzly set up. I am just restricted on my Army base here in Germany for what I can actually acquire.
