hey Tony
For the record I don't quilt either and i'm sensing a tone of mockery of my feminine side
to prove my lack of quilting abilities, its actually a needlepoint mesh that I'm using. I saw it in the fabric section of any craft store and its been very usefull in many DIY applications. They come in many different mesh sizes too.
Here's a youtube video of what it looks like

Oops I was typing the same time as Chin_Lee
Tony, Walmart has it, it's plastic needlepoint canvas like a big window screen, it's the same stuff used in making viv's to wrap the eggcrate.

You can sort of see it on top of the eggcrate.
I'm using a double layer of enkamat and single layer canvas.

Window screen has been working for me. Not the metal stuff, make sure it's plastic.

I can just picture all those crazed reefers aimlessly wandering hardware and craft stores looking for that perfect perforated material.. I get very strange looks when a salesperson asks me what I'm going to be using something for..

Is it just one phosban reactor or do you have it daisy chained (hooked up) to a second phosban? Sometimes when people daisy chain them and put a restricting device like a valve at the outlet it causes back preassure in the phosban which will cause it to leak. Sometimes even clogged up second phosban will cause the first phosban to build up enough preasure to cleak. Are you using the sponges? Is it leaking out of the main head or out of one of the nozzles?

It is leaking the main head. I cut the sponges into half like in your thread. I do not daisy chained to anything.
