Here are a few pics of the way i will be mixing my talk. It will be controlled by my Apex.

Don't have my drill so i made this hole with a dramel

The maxijet cover fits well

Forgot to take pics after this but this is the end result

Cool. Another option for the output from the MJ is to use a 1/2" john guest fitting.

Is it watertight? Like ok for external use?

Hope so. I was going to test later tonight.

How did you seal the fittings to the MJ? I did a nearly identical DIY and used WO#16 which has held up for yrs.

 

[Cjtabares]

I used super glue, but i was going to look for somethink to seal it if needed. Maybe try acrylic glue. Would silicon work?

 

[Cjtabares]

I also am unsure if I glued one of the connections so I may have to redo it anyways.

Well got some more work to do on this. But this is one of my favorite parts of the hobby.

Nice job.. Something to think about on the Mj is to thread the end of the output and tap a pvc endcap then screw the 2 together with a little pvc cement.. Harbor freight has cheap tap an die sets.. I've done this with acrylic and pvc ...

Nice job...but why can't the MJ just sit inside the bucket?
