Juwel Eccoflow 1000 – Modular Flow Softener Kit (Flute, Cage, Elbows, Tee, Y)

**Tired of your Eccoflow 1000 blasting a jet across the tank?**
This kit turns that one hard stream into a soft, wide flow, without choking the pump. Fish and plants get gentle circulation, and the filter keeps its full throughput.

### How it works
The flow goes from the pump through an adapter into a **flute**: a spray bar with 140 small teardrop holes scattered around the tube. The holes get smaller toward the far end, so the pressure is spread along the whole length instead of shooting out of the tip.
For an extra-soft flow, slide the flute into the **diamond-lattice cage** and fill it with filter floss. The water comes out like a breeze, and you get extra mechanical filtration too.

### Modular system
Every part has a **male spigot at the bottom and a socket at the top** (Ø19.0 / Ø19.25, 8 mm deep). Any part fits into any other part, in any order, and turns in the joint, so you can aim the outlet wherever you want.
Build your own layout: pump → adapter → riser → elbow → tee → two flutes…

### What's included
**Core**
- 1-test-posadki: test rings to check the fit on your pump
- 2-adapter-17.1 / 2-adapter-16.9: pump adapters, 10 mm straight fit, 1.2 mm wall. Print both and keep the one that fits best.
- 3-flute-v3-pod-cage:  **recommended** flute, 140 graded holes (3.0 → 1.8 mm), fits the cage
- 3-flute: v1, 100 holes in a strip (more flow comes out of the far end)
- 3-flute-v2: v2, Ø26 body, graded holes (does not fit the cage)

**Fittings**
- Elbows: 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 135°, 180°
- Tee (T) and Y-splitter
- Risers: 30 / 60 / 100 mm

**Extras**
- cage2-romb: diamond-lattice cage for filter floss, plus cage_lid (the lid holes act as an overflow if the floss clogs)
- bypass + collar, lily, rain, venturi, bamboo, rock, ring, pumpcage

### Print settings
- **Material: PETG** (safe in water, does not get soft in a warm tank). Don't use PLA for long-term use underwater.
- 0.2 mm layers, 3+ walls, 20–30% infill
- Print the flutes standing up. Usually no supports are needed (the holes are teardrop-shaped for this).
- The cage uses thin ribs, so print it slowly with good cooling.

### 🔧 Tips
- Start with the test rings, because pump outlets can vary a little.
- Rinse the floss in the cage every 1–2 weeks.
