My First Mod
I was thinking that as the algae grows, it may hinder the flow. So that algae doesn't grow over the 1/2 PVC and the top part of the screen near that slit, I cut a 1/4" slit with my table saw on a 1 inch piece of PVC. I then slipped that over the 1/2 inch pipe. Hard to tell but I'm depicting that in the following photo.
If you compare this one with the very first photo of this thread, you can see that the PVC pipe now is the same diameter as the end cap and the black zip ties are covered.
It doesn't appear to be affecting the flow.
