I'm currently using eheim2217 with Rainbar. But the flow rate is very uneven, first few holes got very soft flow then the last few ending one got strong splashes. Any advice that I can even up the flow rate.? Thanks.
Hi bro,
The water pressure is greater towards the end of the rainbar, hence, the flow on the few end holes is stronger.
If your canister flow rate is 'strong enough', you should be getting an even flow on most of the holes.. same case as mine, but i dont really bother at all.
What's your issue on having uneven flow on the rainbar? may be we can have other work-around way for it . cheers!
Yeah, the spray is stronger at the end.
If it's annoying, you can consider putting the spraybar under water, so you don't notice it.
I was thinking if you could increase the front portion of the holes slightly bigger by using a drill? So that you allow a wee bit more water to flow out from the front end of the rainbar. I have not personally tested that before, but I think it could work.
Everyday learn new things. Sharing is part of learning.
It can work with my eheim installation kit. However your 2217 need enough water flow if not your rain bar will be very weak until cannot see rain already you see drips..
My filter is a 2026
