1. Sweetwater 1hp air pump
2. Switch from 60 mesh (250 micron) nylon mesh bags to 100 mesh (150 micron)
3. Use a 80 mesh (175 micron) screen in the 2" Semi-Automatic T Screen Filter 160gpm
4. The 2" Hydrocyclone Sand Separator is rated at 110 GPM
5. To prevent deforming the T Screen Filter, use a smaller trash pump running at low RPM
6. To make hanging the nylon bags easier, consider placing the blower on the ground
7. Improve the nylon bag lid so the water in the bags can be roiled more-or-less
8. Taper the bags at the bottom (cone shape) so heavy material is directed toward the air at the end of the pipe.
9. The hole size in the PVC is 3/16”
10. Design was loosely based upon the Bio5 DIY extractor and GeoTea tea brewer. You can call Soil Works for the Bio5 extractor plans. 605-260-0784
