Doubled up on my medication today so I could make one “final” push on assembling my idea for a bead filter.

After some serious dremel tool use, I’ve got the manifold in place, it doesn’t leak too much, and the mock setup is running at ~10 GPM ( 600 GPH ) which I am fairly happy with as the pump is rated @ 850 GPH without any head height.

Last thing and step left is to acquire 2-3mm fine netting for filters and to put some silicon sealant around everything. Then its on to putting the 1K GPH pump into the mock system and seeing if the filter explodes.
