my diy low pressure venturi or make the center hole bigger for more high volume water.. cost me only $2.00....make sure the drip tubing is barely show @ center hole.. parts are from homedepot
Thanks mate your genius it works like a dream thanks for taking the time to do the vid your filter is also very well designed good way to save money and water clarity is very good 👍
I used this video just now to confirm my initial idea to aerate my swimming pool. I took a piece of 1/2 inch hose, drilled a hole to suit a piece of irrigation tube, cut the tube at a 50 degree angle at the tip that goes inside the main hose, then push the hose in about half way making sure the angled cut is facing the direction of the water flow. I got just as good air as in the video at a depth of around half a metre. Thank you very much friend
In wonder if that will work with flood and drain outlet, sump side? I'm going to try an exeriment tommorow after work. Awesome video fellow creator! Thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building👍
LOVED IT BRO... Clear enough !! No need to speak when it's so easy! Whoever didn't understand it, is because they won't make the build anyway. .. Ignore the Haters... I've finally found what I was looking for in order to avoid high-cost air pumps on my Prawn Pond! Keep it up
Very simple and easy build. Works fine, But what do I have to do for it to work even better? I have 620gph pump I drilled a hole in the center with 17/64 and for the top hole i used 1/4 with 1/4 tubing. IF i make the center hole bigger and use bigger tubing would I get better results ?
One question: where do you orientate the Poly Drip Pipe? Does it go just below the surface of the PVC pipe or does it extend down into the water stream?
@@HergerTheJoyous same here, I just created an automatic watering system for my to raised bed gardens that is fed off of my rain spout. In order to get both Chambers to fill up at once, I needed to connect them with a bulkhead and a piece of PVC pipe at the bottom so they would equalize pressure on both fill at the same time. Had to fabricate my own both heads because of the shape of the containers. Sometimes you just got to do what you got to do I could have bought the bulkheads, but they cost about $30 a piece and I needed two of them. By fabricating my own I spent about $2 per bulkhead
Your videos are awesome! Are you also a local breeder? I live in Las Vegas and would like to check out your set up and even buy a few of your koi! Please reply. Thanks
Thanks for the video. On my trip to HomeDepot a 1/2" PVC plug simply does not fit into a 3/4" pipe. Where did you get your 1/2" pvc plug that fits into your 3/4" pipe? Thanks
eastsidebaronmike at homedepot you will find (pvc plug) but you will notice that it will be a bit bigger to fit into a 3/4 pipe however this vid shows you that I grind/shave the plug to fit inside the 3/4.......but you can use any size pipe and pvc plug the key is to make that pug fit inside diameter on the pipe
flow rate on 1 1/2 its gonna be same if you used the same drill size..but if you make the center whole bigger thats a different story coz the water flow volume is high
+Mr1SUPERB Great effect and build. I have the same question as Steve R. You are getting an amazing venturi effect and airiation (and tiny bubble size) , but how much is the water flow rate compromised going through such a small opening? I wonder about the ideal ratio or sweet spot between a nice venturi effect and maximum water flow.
Easy fix, can glue a bottle cap and trim it to the size of the outer diameter of the pipe, slip on a connector fitting to add a small piece of pipe, where I am, they live and breathe pipe, rest is just some tinkering, 1" pipe won't fit smaller pumps, again, simple tinkering and some glue should fix everything
From experience EVERY venturi system put hella back pleasure on your pump, the flaw in venturi method is your trying to force the same output through a much smaller and lesser free flowing cavity to collect air and send it in the right direction basically, my 12 jet spa pumps experiments couldn't handle the the constant restriction of flow, they overheated and overall life span halved most of the time or drastically fell from 4 years to a matter of months, the pumps being external rely on heat transfer from a heatsink and back fan (like most spa, bath tub, hot tub pumps do), unlike a submersible they do not expel heat well enough to cope for long period of time and i would doubt a water cooling jacket would help - so im not a fan of venturi systems, the better option is this guys other video where he simply puts an air intake line on the water pickup point of his submersible - I would consider this but its still not "trouble inducing" free - impellers are not supposed to accept air and a hella pumps will not self prime if air is present, these ideas and concepts are fine if you have the correct arrangement as this guy but as a warning if your considering drilling hole sin your pumps - it may not work or you and end up costing you more than one of these extortionate aerators! I cant find a solution other than the very simple method of firing my water outlets in to the water from above - collecting air in the process, hella noisy and tonnes of plash but fuck it, didn't cost me jack shit.
I am studying in Fluids class and the Venturi Effect for my engineering degree. Isn't the plug supposed to be 15 degrees? Seems I've wasted about 15 minutes of my life 'cus I've watched this three times and still can't figure out what the point is.
I will make this simple for you. It is a more effective way to infuse air into the water you are using for your hydroponic system, for growing...tomatoes!lol
He have a step by step! What else do you want? Should he take a flight to your home and build it for you? Maybe you just need to go buy one off Amazon...
wow....probably the best and cheapest venturi diy on youtube. excellent job and excellent video
Thanks mate your genius it works like a dream thanks for taking the time to do the vid your filter is also very well designed good way to save money and water clarity is very good 👍
Finally, I have a use for my collection of 13/6 drill bits!
heck yeah! i've been scratching my head on how to assemble a ton of these, and now it's so obvious with that converted plug
Thanks for the video. This worked great for my pond!
Using your plans, built a venturi for my bait tank that works perfectly. Thanks!!

Simple and straight forward for the DIY'rs. Thanks mate!
Nice idea, simple and efective.
Excelente idea, simple y genial.

Excelente video, bien explicado y bien demostrado y con buenos detalles, saludos.
Nice, to put O2 in the aquarium & aquaponic system without air pumps. Thanks.
sweeeeet. cheap and easy. thanks!
Great vid simple and effective, i literally just made this

Love it. Bravo.

Good diy bro
Essay method,Good,Thanks
Nice! Can this work 50-60cm from the surface? How deep in fact? Trying to find a solution for my pound...
simple banget. mantap
Well fella your a genius! I'm going to do that to my livewell thanks!!!!
thanks man
what is the size of the hole in the plug inside?
What if I want to use it the opposite???? Suck water by pushing air????
Beautiful isothermically compressed air.
One question: where do you orientate the Poly Drip Pipe? Does it go just below the surface of the PVC pipe or does it extend down into the water stream?
Your answer is at 5:27 he shows the inside of the pipe and it appears the poly tube is flush with the pvc
what are you plugging the 3/4 in pvc into?? and how is that connected to your pump?
so just to clarify, the black tube is sucking air in to the pvc pipe right?
can it be used with a garden hose
Clever using as inductor
Looks like it works well but I've never seen that recessed plug in a local box store .
Sometimes you have to innovate and fabricate your own stuff.
@@jerichojoe307 Seems like that's all I do these days.

What do you mean by low and high pressure?
looks like you reduced down from 1.5" to 3/4"

So the air comes in at the pumps outlet not inlet?
how deep, vertically, can the discharge pipe go
the best
what is coming through the main pipe to venturi ?water or air?
what kind of pump i need water pump or air pump for this?
thanks.
water
What's at the top end? It doesn't make much sense if we don't know. Please show.
MOBILE MARKETING it literally explained every piece and what to do with it so if you couldn't catch that then maybe this hobby is not for you
@@jerichojoe307 lol

Mr1SUPERB Ok. Got it. Thanks.
Preasure?
Is the point of this to aerate the pond?
IO NE VOGLIO REALIZZARE UNA PER fertirrigazione IL MIO ORTO MI AIUTATE DATO CHE NON HO TROVATO NIENTE IN RETTE GRAZIE
Hello
This system can be used for fertigation ?
Greetings from Argentina
NON SO SE SERVE PER fertirrigazione NE VOGLIO COSTRUIRE UNA IO
What kind of flow rate are you having out of the 1 1/2" pipe prior to the venturi adaption? Does this reduce this flow rate by much?
flow rate on 1 1/2 its gonna be same if you used the same drill size..but if you make the center whole bigger thats a different story coz the water flow volume is high
+Mr1SUPERB Great effect and build. I have the same question as Steve R.

I saw another video using light blue piping and their hack only cost $1 (for a plastic soda bottle).
13/64 DRILL
13/6 or 13/64?
The problem ,there isn't 1/5" plug to fit into the 3/4" pipe, therefore you all need to use 1" pipe insted.
Easy fix, can glue a bottle cap and trim it to the size of the outer diameter of the pipe, slip on a connector fitting to add a small piece of pipe, where I am, they live and breathe pipe, rest is just some tinkering, 1" pipe won't fit smaller pumps, again, simple tinkering and some glue should fix everything

Just keep your main line as it is with no restriction and make a parallel line with the venturi on it (Ideally with a valve for better control).
Thís can not suck fertilizer , mixing water to irrigate...

I will make this simple for you. It is a more effective way to infuse air into the water you are using for your hydroponic system, for growing...tomatoes!lol
The tube needs to exit at the bottom of the tank...when it exits at the top the oxygen just stays at the top....remember OXYGEN floats up in water.
Sincerely hoping that someday you regain the ability to speak.
