Bucket Algae Scrubber #2

[Inoneear]

I've been working at this for some time now...
And here is a pictorial diary




Water distribution was poor and screen access was a pain![attachment=2:294j4h30]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_001.JPG[/attachment:294j4h30][attachment=1:294j4h30]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_005.JPG[/attachment:294j4h30]

So I tried this and it seems to work.[attachment=0:294j4h30]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_006_2_.JPG[/attachment:294j4h30]

The corners are sealed so no water can flow to another slit in the pipe.[attachment=1:1h5ur65z]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_009_3_.JPG[/attachment:1h5ur65z][attachment=0:1h5ur65z]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_010_2_.JPG[/attachment:1h5ur65z]

So now I wanted to have controle over flow to each slit in the pipe, so I added this[attachment=2:2kolk3qg]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_011_2_.JPG[/attachment:2kolk3qg]

This simple valving is easier to turn and adjust and it gives unlimited flow values to each slit.[attachment=1:2kolk3qg]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_012_2_.JPG[/attachment:2kolk3qg][attachment=0:2kolk3qg]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_013.JPG[/attachment:2kolk3qg]

The screen material that I used[attachment=2:3g664l9r]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_014.JPG[/attachment:3g664l9r][attachment=1:3g664l9r]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_015.JPG[/attachment:3g664l9r][attachment=0:3g664l9r]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_016_2_.JPG[/attachment:3g664l9r]

First attempt at the screen[attachment=2:1k2xdmvm]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_017_2_.JPG[/attachment:1k2xdmvm]

I wanted an easy way of removing a screen without removing the bucket or other screens,so I came up with this[attachment=1:1k2xdmvm]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_019.JPG[/attachment:1k2xdmvm][attachment=0:1k2xdmvm]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_020_2_.JPG[/attachment:1k2xdmvm]

On the "rack"[attachment=2:1hl9j63a]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_025.JPG[/attachment:1hl9j63a][attachment=1:1hl9j63a]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_026.JPG[/attachment:1hl9j63a][attachment=0:1hl9j63a]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_027.JPG[/attachment:1hl9j63a]

This design forms a "sock"



When the sock is full.....[attachment=1:iyr490yy]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_028.JPG[/attachment:iyr490yy][attachment=0:iyr490yy]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_029.JPG[/attachment:iyr490yy]


I quickly learned that I did not like this running!

This is the second screen idea[attachment=2:13ee8vg9]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_031.JPG[/attachment:13ee8vg9][attachment=1:13ee8vg9]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_033.JPG[/attachment:13ee8vg9][attachment=0:13ee8vg9]Bucket_Algae_Scrubber_035.JPG[/attachment:13ee8vg9]
