the part you are looking for is over in the funny pipe area? it is black with  a hose barb end and a threaded end on the other.

as far as size maybe a v-8 juice can? 2" in diameter and maybe 2 1/2" long. I already was set up for 3/4 inch lockline on my closed loop so I just threaded these in.

Hey Brian, got all of the parts except the 1/2" BARB X 3/4" MALE THREAD NPT RISER FLEX ADAPTER. I looked for this at lowes but cold only find one with the hex nut on the barb side of the 3/4 thread so it would not be able to screw into the spigot. I guess if I can't find the right part I could grind down the hex part so it would fit through the 3/4 inch female thread of the spigot. Let me know. Thanks, Jason

Penductors (Penguin brand eductors) are amazing when powered by a pressure rated pump. 

A good solution to make an Iwaki or Pan World/Blueline pressure rated pump quieter is to remove the cooling fan and replace it with a computer CPU heatsink and quiet computer fan.

Looks like a fun DIY project.

Yes, you can run the Dart and eductors.  However, the commerically available eductors are more efficient using a pressure-rated pump.  ]]> Mon, 07 May 2007 08:38:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18059&PID=157871&title=eductors-give-better-flow#157871 <![CDATA[eductors give better flow : I agree.

I agree. Restricting the flow on the Dart does work very well if done on the discharge side.

A little more on restriction on dart pumps,

Quote from Reeflo/Sequence

"Valving Back a ReeFlo Pump
You can always restrict the flow of the pump ON THE DISCHARGE side.
It is good for the pump and following occurs:
• Lower watt consumption: You cause the pump to operate further back on the curve.
• It extends the life of the motor: contrary to popular opinion a valveback causes the pump to operate closer to its highest efficiency point.
• It extends the life of the seal: less water abrasion
• It runs quieter

Mike you need to try this, it is greatThumbs%20Up
