DIY Ballast?
I have been doing a lot of research on the ballast system and its all too confusing. I have an 05 Outback V with no ballast. I want to add triple auto fill ballast with the switches by the seat. In my research Im finding stuff on intakes, sprinkler systems, reversable pumps, ball valves, etc. Does anybody have a complete DIY triple ballast thread that gives a complete breakdown on whats what and how it all goes together? Im not finding anything and I gotta get this stuff rollin but I dont even know where to start.

Also, what's the point in spending $200 on a jabsco pump when you can spend $59 on a new tsunami 1200 on ebay?

I dont know. I dont understand the difference. I cant find any info on the pros and cons of both and i sat on hold for wakemakers for 35 minutes before I finally hung up. Im def trying to do this whole set up as cheap, but effective as possible. I just need some guidance on where to start.

Impeller pumps are reversible so you can fill and drain from one pump. Aerator pumps are not so you will require 1 pump to fill and 1 pump to drain.
I myself have chosen to go the impeller pump route but I may have a different objective than you as I am more concerned with doing it right and working the way I want it to.

Okay. How many bags do you want to fill? I have an 07 OBV and am going with 4 bags. IBS, Center, and Rears.
