Did you use some weld-on to glue some acrylic into the inside of some kitty litter containers? Those are pretty sweet!
those dosers took me a day to build,I use those pails for my shipping.
1)Cut a rectangular opening on one of the sides of the square 4gallon pail,roughen the inside edges with some sand paper
2)Cut a 2" larger rectangle shape out acrylic (I had lying around) roughen the edges for better adhesive
3)Use 100% silicone around the inside edges place the acrylics sheet and some weight for a day till dry
5)Drill 1/4" opening near the top for the feed line
4)fill container with DI and the chemical of choice mix till dissolution place the lid run the hose and then to the doser
Hope that helps
I simply hated doing only a jug at a time and I have the room for it
I think I will sell each pail for $250 ($7 for the pail $3 for glue $10 max for acrylic sheet and $230 for the originality of the idea)
