    When you see how it sticks due to the pull of the water, you'll probably not be concerned with this. If you are, then I'd think about some kind of clamp over the top of the pipe would suffice, like three quarters of a ring of 1.25" pvc that would slide on over the plastic and pinch it against the loop and hold it in place. You wouldn't need much because, like I said, it isn't inclined to move anyway.

    What size drill bit did you end up using to get the flow you wanted?

    I have had to lift the pipe and mesh higher because the mesh was resting on the bottom of the scrubber and bending which was giving me a dripping sound all the time.

    3/16" drill bit. Any less and the water came out at to high a velocity. and produced a lot of spray. Could probably go larger though.

    Have you tried making the screen section that wraps around the pipe out of black plastic canvas? Would that help prevent growth at the junction?

    Not really, the algae grows on the outside and plugs up the holes in the screen.
