This is a little project that was on my "to do" list for a while now. I finally manage to build the first prototype that will be tested watering our Bamboo nursery. if the results turn out as I hope they would I would replicate for other parts and also for my own consumption. ![IMG_9285.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bigorna1/AKF8DnLYK6Pz4xBz2Tq8X1rZSPDPJ1z7t8XWw6biNFwtb1qD3aUvapH9C26Fpjq.JPG)all the components are simple and cheap off the shelf items. pretty straight forward. ![IMG_9286.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bigorna1/AKusYWR78xkdUb4esswhJRCGxTzCuarW5PgtdMvcFJ5KtWQWb2pXqByG8x3h5H8.JPG)the trickiest part is to properly establish the length of the central pipe. not easy to measure since it is interior. what I ended up doing is cutting it slightly longer and once in place I measured the gap between the cap and the transparent housing. ![IMG_9290.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bigorna1/EqDmWJ1EGPn58aRar8NF3xpSWwKC5XTs7CqLqCw3herfCV32xdoRDK6xxQCZNDDE46a.JPG)turned out to be exactly 26cm. I could of course have measured a standard filter element but only thought of that once I was on the way home, too late.. ![IMG_9287.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bigorna1/AKScffyhBhxFVq2vpjXJJmLRFq7WYw7HMKQSzAh5EH6Hhgd6exG6N5dk44JnTVk.JPG)once the right length is established, I move on to glue the tube to its union. ![IMG_9288.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bigorna1/AK55qvRTWjTWAfDA7QobRjANUdi5PNpru19nsgkASybxNNfajACPo49xz6XhzQm.JPG) ![IMG_9289.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bigorna1/AK9QoBG2yubYXrPWDtaoKkGt1zmDhayeT175LHdYpQ8siP4TcWXXYL2rTufh58U.JPG)the bottom side of the pipe, gets some holes drilled through it to allow for the water to flow back up and out of the housing. I drilled 8 x 5mm holes and with use, I might have to add more to allow for more flow. ![IMG_9291.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bigorna1/23wC7r2JErb143zqpbHJ2dXCY8qmtLH8ZgJWxGVaDSx79YutU37FFZ4bLAP3SRHNXeCyt.JPG)all pieces ready for mounting. Teflon on the threads and tightening. in the next part I will show what goes in the housing. to be continued. stay tuned. * * * thank you for stopping by 🙏 wishing us all a peaceful Thursday published at 12:12
