So I was going to do a build thread but got too excited when parts showed up and built mostly everything without takings pics.
I just got done attaching* screws to the strainer basket and I also installed a switch in the controller box so I can manually turn the element on or off as needed.
I've decided to just use silicone hose from the pump for recirculating. I was going to add a bunch of quick disconnect fittings but now I may not.
Alternatively, I was going to drill a hole through the lid and install a bulkhead through it similar to the unibrau mini. I've decided against that mainly because I want to be able to recirculate with the lid off.
I think the only time I'll ever really use the lid is for storage so there's not much point in drilling or notching holes in it.
GFCI is getting installed tomorrow.
Here's a few pics.
