ATS flow tweak
ATS flow tweak
Hiya,
I've been wanting to play around with an ATS for a while, so when I got a few spare minutes, I threw up a "prototype". After the first week, I knew that the slotted pipe and I were never going to make nice. Thought I would share my solution to remove it from the equation.
Description:
I actually kept the slotted pipe, but I allow water to free flow down to a dowel that I have wrapped with the nylon screen. I created a "flap" that is separate from the screen, that is wrapped around the main screen and sandwiches it nice and snug. I used 2 ziptie ends (one on each side) to pull the screen nice and tight. The picture should give you a better idea. On each side, you can see the slot that I created that allows for very easy removal of the dowel/screen.
Anyway, if this has been done before, I just wasted your reading time. If not, cool
I will post my experiences with this design from time to time. But for the most part, it seems that once I dial it in, I shouldn't have flow issues.
