Hey Joe:
Are you making videos to be able to show to the critters entitled something like: "My new home - a work in progress (20xx to 20xx)" or maybe some instructional onesnamed " Learning how to solder".
Remember, the other thread was inspirational in allowing me to use Aquarium parts to make a laundry lint filter. Now, the design is "perfect". I used a Sock-it filter
https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=16746, but changed to a 400 um Nylon bag,
Initially, I used a hose clamp and a thick washer below the plate and now, Now I use a Ruland Quick Clamp from **broken link removed** bolted to the top of the top plate with a 1/4-20 screw.
I had to use a friend's lathe to take of 0.015" off of the radius (reduce the diameter by 0.030") of the plastic pipe to make the clamp fit.
Now, it's cake to empty the filter.
It sits at the front corner of the Laundry sink. I had ideas of moving it to the rear corner. Doing that creates other issues like the need for front dumping on a temporary basis. I'd have to shorten the discharge and hard pipe it along the wall and then attach with a union in the horizontal direction. I would not need the clamp in this configuration.
Without a clamp, there is a possibility for the force of the water with an unemptied filter to dislodge the pipe.
So, thanks.
