Default Bored already soooo.....

I had to make something. :D

I saw a small beckett skimmer made by someone here intown that didn't have a beckett on it and required a much smaller pump to drive it. I took a peek at it and made this little thingy(look below). I want to see if I can run this with a lower GPH pump and get the same performance. Basically it is a spray injection.

Imagine standing in the shower. you know how the curtain pulls in as the water spray moves past the curtain? This is due to the air moving with the spray. Creates a lower pressure zone next to the curtain in comparison to the outside of the shower. Thus curtain moves into the shower as the higher pressure outside of hte curtain tries to fill the lower pressure zone inside the shower itself.

In this case instead of the curtain being pulled in, air is. Micro bubbles are created as the fine spray of water mixes with the air and the water that will build up in the bottom of the injector. We will see in a couple of days. Want to let everything dry solidly before adding water under pressure. :D
