Tubing, Pump and Nozzle Assembly:

The exact sizes for your tubing will depend on the size of your container / reservoir. Measure the inside of your container L x W. Approx. subtract the L - 4" and the W - 4".

Use the Hose connector and T fittings to create an "8" that is your L - 4" x W - 4". The fitting are compression fittings, so no glue is required. Attach the entire "8" to the pump with a lead long enough that the "8" sits several inches above the water line. The pump should be completely submerged with several inches of water above it.

 

Attach the Spray Nozzles evenly around the "8". Insert the heads into the 1/2" Poly-tube by punching a small hole then threading on the heads. Direct the heads so that the spray will cover the entire area.



We found that this little pump was a bit unstable and wanted to tip over, so we attached it to a plastic pot base, by drilling two small holes and using zip strips to secure it down.
