DIY: Attaching a Penductor to Wavy Sea

I'm reposting this, as I don't think it posted the first time.

I'm looking to attach a penductor to my wavy sea in hopes of increasing the flow output. I did some searches on the internet, and couldn't find any good reading on it.

Anyone have experience on this, or want to chime in?

Thanks,

i have one on my seaswirl...

most important thing about using a penductor is using a pressure rated pump. Otherwise the penductor is pointless.

Does it work well?

Are there any submersible pressure pumps available? Or are they all external...

yes it works great. I believe all pressure pumps are external.

I have 2 Pacific Coast Flow accelerators on both of my WavySeas. These work exactly like penductors except that they don't need a pressurised pump to work. They fit looseley on the WavySea exhaust so I just wrapped it in allot of teflon tape and squeezed it on. They work and fit great. They are balck and blend right in with the WavySea.
