Hey all
I made this DIY spray bar a few weeks ago.
see this thread
1 spray bar 2 filters. | UK Aquatic Plant Society
It was my first attempt at a spray bar and its working ok but I want to see if I can improve it.
To my surprise the heat shrink I used on my current spray bar is working fine with no problems at all.
But I've found some black 21.5mm pipe and fittings which I'll use this time round.
The main thing I want to improve with the new spray bar is flow intensity. but I'm not sure how best to go about it.
Do I need more holes?
less holes?
bigger holes?
smaller holes?
rounder holes........
or can it only be improved with a more powerful pump?
my current spray bar has 2.5mm holes every 25mm and the flow is ok but i'd like it to to be stronger.
To my thinking if I use more smaller holes this will give stronger flow?
so I was thinking of putting 1.5mm holes every 15mm?
have I got this right or do I in fact need bigger holes further apart?
any help is much appreciated.
