DIY Inline pump for soil drainage(using a submersible)
The not so amazing DIY inline pump. Pic's coming soon.
So it has a 1/2 in fitting fabricated and sealed with aquarium safe silicone making it an inline pump instead of a submersible. It's really easy to make, but the end product has a downfall or two.
Only problem is it leaks, didn't take the time to find the leak either, I just stuck it in a 2 gallon bucket which keeps the pump from getting an air pocket.
A second, tiny, $10 pump is required to prime the inline pump.
Took me 10 minutes in time, and 25 bucks in the pumps and scilicone. The only inline pump I could find was $180(TNC)TurboALLWD Reviewed by TurboALLWD on .
