[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 53542, member: 3"] I've been thinking more about how best to spread / even out the water. By plugging a 28mm hose into the flare end (via custom attachment) it's going to be a concentrated stream which I don't believe would be ideal. I'm now thinking a backward facing spray-bar (angled at a splash plate so the water drops into the sluice) might be the go to provide a more consistent and even spread. Now a question for the math-heads. Is there a way to work out the number of, width and height of slits required in the spray-bar to make up 100% flow of a 28mm hose? To clarify, I'm basically wanting to provide the exact same amount of flow through the slits in the spray-bar as it would if the spray-bar wasn't attached, so not to put any load on the pump. I hope that makes sense lol. Please remember this is still in the design phase so any input is welcome ;) [/QUOTE]
