ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

We're over at some friends house eating dinner and playing games.
 
The "waterfall" is a slit in the plastic tubing. Unfortunately I made it too wide of a slit (more of a slot?) so the water just kinda pours out in a stream rather than a sheet. The redesign will:
  • Align the water falling more with the screen
  • Allow the water to fall more evenly instead of all in one spot
  • Allow things to fit a little more loosely to make harvesting easier
It'll work as is, it's just less efficient the way it's currently designed. All part of the Beta Testing program.
What are you using to push the water through the slot?

I never plan to sell anything. 😂
I'll give you $.38 for one of these.

Sicce Micra I believe. 90 gph. I made the slot 3mm wide instead of thinner. That's where it failed. I'm thinking a couple of 2mm holes instead of a slot might be better
 
Morning all! Just finished up at the doctor. Antibiotics and an inhaler.

Bingo on the holes. That's what I was thinking anyways.

If you have any extra PVC laying around, you can hook the pump to it as a test. Start with two holes, if not enough then add a hole until the desired effect is reached.

Happy you went to see a doctor and got on some meds. Hope they work well quickly.
