Cool...

I would suggest to have a hose clamp to clamp the pipe to the hose nipple. This will make sure that the pipe does not come off accidentally.

Nice work Imran. Thumb Up

Only concern is the threaded cap, if at all it ll be leak proof in long run.

Good luck.

can u tell us the price of the parts again?
like hamza told us, these are all non fishy prices.. i think its safe to tell the prices of the parts used..

Thanks everyone. And yes sai even i m concern about the leaks from the cap as for now i hav used tread sealant tape and its doin its job. As for the price nick the whole filter cost me around 1500 including the pump. Could hav been cheaper.
