Circulating Water In Curing Tanks

Circulating Water In Curing Tanks

Circulating Water In Curing Tanks

(OP)
All I feel REALLY dumb for asking this question but I need to know. I am helping to establish a Concrete Lab in one of our offices. They are eventually planning to switch to a curing room, but for now they are using tanks. I need to get the water to circulate between the tanks using the U-shaped PVC spanning from tank to tank. Here is my question. I have three tanks, do I need 4 sets of connectors or 2. I.E. does the water flow around in a loop or will the water move between the tanks and equalize with just the one set of connections? Sorry to be so thick..I've been using curing rooms for over a decade.

jbw...no need to connect the tanks. Just make sure they are stirred every few days to keep the lime suspended. Other than that, try to keep the temp at the high range of the standard.

i use those cheap foution pumps at lowes, one per tank
