Whats the secret to making a water filter out of a 5 gallon bucket? I
came across the idea on a bbs somewhere, but it was kind of vague.
I have a 5 gal paint bucket with lid. Cut two holes, insert pvc pipe and
seal. 1st pipe is the inlet, and goes about halfway into the bucket.
2nd pipe is the outlet, and extends about one inch into the bucket.
Water level is below the inlet pipe. The idea is that a flex hose goes
from the sand blast cabinet to the inlet, and the outlet is connected
to a shop vac. Dust particles are sucked into the bucket, hit the water
and stay there.
Problem is apparently the air is coming into the bucket so fast that
water droplets are being sucked into the vac. Not so good for the
filter... I have experimented with different water levels, but same problem.
Anyone made one that works? Is there some sort of baffle needed?
