Does anyone have a list of the mods I should make and the parts I need to mod this thing to make it top notch?

The only "problem" is the cheap outlet hose. But if you use it right you really need nothing IMO.

Any details and what you used there ? Looks like a metal 90 hose clamps.. what size hose approx? And any idea on the size of the 90? I would assume pvc would work ?

Not that I could not figure it out with some trial and error but figure maybe if you have already done that you could pass it on lol. Its cool if not, at this point 90% of the shit i fix i just grab what I have i some random place and be like oh this will work if I rig it with this and this that I have... where as if I had the actual right parts it would be much different lol

I'm back. The materials i used are 3/4" I.D. X 1.00" O.D. food grade tubing , 3 x 1.25" hose clamps and a 90 degree stainless elbow for HVAC or radiator use. I am replacing with a 90 pvc hose barb as it is a better fit and will not kink the hose on the outside or restict inside without housing mods. I'll post this when I do it.

What do you think the diameter of the out put water spout is? Looking at barbed pvc 90s now wondering if I need a 1 inch to 3/4 barb?

My upgrade will be a second swivel 90degree barb. Only flaw to my fix. Or at least a better way. LOL. Hose pinches when stowed upright now. Will crack eventually.

I have too long fabbing things for improvement or need LOL. But look at the kink in this. Hard crease. Bad.

Yeah that will for sure be a problem eventually. What is the fixture you are thinking of putting there maybe I'll pick one up also when I head to the hardware store.

I suggest big box stores. Better selection. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ecopoly-3-4-in-Plastic-PEX-Barb-x-3-4-in-Female-Swivel-90-Degree-Elbow-5-Pack-32807/308745448
