Can I use my glass outflow pipe, instead of the plastic one that comes with this unit?

I have a turtle and his shell could bang the glass tube and maybe break it, I only use what is recommended.

Better to use an adapter to connect glass to plastic... The fluval adders work but are pricy and you need a metal ring that toghtens when you twist on both ends. Basically, no. Because of the way the unit opens

No, you can't use just any spigot. I switched out the plastic spigot it came with and replaced it with Stainless Works™ Stainless Steel Beverage Dispenser Replacement Spigot(Polished Finish), from Amazon, which was the only spigot I could find that was stainless steel and correctly sized.

Not sure why you'd want to do that. This unit comes with GLASS containers with nice fitting tops. The unit sweats and drips water on the on/off button which usually shorts out. I dumped mine in the garbage and bought a different brand.

I replaced mine old one with this model few months ago. I had all existing pipes incoming and outgoing. All you have to do us buy some futtings, elbows, 45' and 90', couplings and pipes and you should be ok. Do not glue the pipes that connect to vaccume at both ends. You can glue other parts later. Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly the manual shows attaching the tubing to the wrong fitting. Attach it to the brass fitting instead of the plastic one

I am using my existing 3/4 in pipe with a flange attached to it. Good luck.

Yes. I have the same set up. It comes with a few adapters in case the pipe has a different threads.

I would use a PVC pipe instead. But I guess it depends on how you want to attach the hose to the barrel

I wouldn't unless you made some serious modifications to the unit. It is too unreliable. If you redesign the output valve you might be able to get away with it. I redesigned the one I have and it works very well now.

You need to put in the model # of the one that you are replacing and it will tell you if it will fit. It also tell you the pipe size.

If you unscrew the end-thingy with the little screen/filter in it, you can buy a hose converter at a hardware store and with it screwed in, you should be able to attach it. Of course, maybe the filter you want to use will fit the threads of the spout as is. I took 2 different hose adapters home because not sure which one would fit, and returned the one that didn't.

I had no need to do that. But, u might want to consider an adapter size to fit? Half an inch diameter seems to me would be sufficient with the water pressure I have. Hope this helps.

I'm sure you can do it. You just have to get the right fittings and flexible pipe. After you get the filter housing, take it to a plumbing supply house or even Home Depot and put together what you need.

YES you can! I have a faucet that pulls out, and has a button to choose sprayer or regular water flow. I had to visit a plumbing store to get a little ring to help the pieces join together, as the ones that came with the unit were not the right size. But it works great! However, I can't really use the sprayer any more. It's okay... my excellent water filter is worth it. As long as you have a circular ring that you can unscrew, then you can use this filter. You just might need help with finding the right size for your faucet.

No. I used what I had when I installed it. If you need an extension to the water line, go to Home Depot and you can get one fairly cheap.

You can but not recommendedI did but wish I had notIt doesn't seal off as good now and leaks between the plastic outside and glass inside

You can use it. I've done it but it is most certainly more noisy. The plastic doesn't muffle the sound of the running water into the tank. In addition, there is a bowl input pipe that isn't part of this assembly so the bowl actually doesn't clean the rim sides. To get around that, I have to put a tube up the main flow pipe and run that tube into the bowl rim input. You can do without but you won't get a proper fill.
