Fishman hot summer but the walleye fishing has been insane. My usual 7 hour day has been reduced for the most part to only a 2 to 3 hour day as my clients are catching their limits in that time frame. Home and watching the news by 9:30- 10am.
Wow a great concept. I really love your DIY projects. From the earlier part of the video, it looks like the airstone is pulling the water faster and more consistently as the other version is in gulps etc.. I look forward as always to seeing the project finished and working.
If you are feeling adventurous, how about an air-driven Archimedes's screw? It would probably have a slow flow rate, but it would look cool. Great video. Been enjoying watching how this water lift evolves.
Informative and relaxing as always! I haven't been around in a while, I'm glad to see you're still crafting away and testing your methods. Cheers bud, keep up the great work!
I was thinking on this when I noticed some water I missed in a python after a water change and thought of this project My first though was a series of coils in a flexible tube angled upward with the bottoms of the coils acting as catches and valves. My next thought was a more straightforward series of peaks and valleys increasing as they go. Great - now I need to go get some 1/4 tubing and a better air pump. Best of luck!
So I don’t see how you are going to fill the next step/chamber. I don’t know why the first chamber doesn’t fill the second chamber. What I mean is from the tank into the first chamber and instead of going back to the tank with the second lift tube have it fill the second chamber.
This is really interesting but if your going to build something this complex why not try an air powered pump (sort of like how a turbo or an steam powered pump would work). Could even do double duty powering a pump and than an air lift. This stepped lift just takes up too much room in my opinion.
Such a build would require more pressure than an aquarium air pump could supply. I mostly build these things to try stuff out and see if there are better ways of doing things. Thanks for watching
if you sealed each chamber into the next couldn't you run just the single air connection at the bottom letting the air continue through each step being recycled by the next? thought maybe pressure would be an issue but thats broken each step as it bubbles up into each chamber, i think.
I'm not doubting that something like this will work, but it seems to involve an enormous amount of labor for a product that is very noisy. You said the reason you are doing this is because of pumps failing. Why not invest in quality pumps from companies like sicce?
I've bought 8 sicce pumps in the last year and 6 have had issues. The real reason I build stuff like this is because i like building things. Even if this doesn't have any real world uses it gives me ideas that I can use. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on it! Always appreciated
The Real king of DIY
Hey Joe! Always a pleasure!
Wild build Eric... you are one creative Canadian!!
Hey Jim! Thanks so much for coming by. How's the lake been treating you this summer? The weather certainly has been all over the place

Thanks so much Tim! I'm glad you like these

Thanks so much for watching. I have been thinking of using a DC motor for one but I haven't figured out a way of running one with air

Hey Stef. So great to hear from you! Hope you're still getting out and enjoying the park
Wow awesome
Glad you liked it!

If you put that together let me know how it goes. Would love to see it
Oh wow 😳. You really built a strong filtration system.
So glad to see you! Been enjoying your channel! Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day
What size air pump would I need to pump water up 18in in 3/4 pvc pipe. I have been try to Figure it out. On line but nothing was clear
I wish i could come up with cool ideas like this.
Thanks so much!
very cool!
Thanks so much Sandy!
Nice
Thanks!

Fridays video should clear that all up. Thanks for watching

This is amazing!
Thanks so much Ash!
Oh ur air pump doesn’t need power to operate… nice which brand air pump are u using?
I ran this off of my fish room air pump. It's a pond master. Thanks for watching!
Where do you get the lava rock you use in your filters ?
I get it from a local garden shop
Seems to me that the airstone worked more quickly... like I said! LOL :-)
Sooooo much faster lol!
@@FishmanEricRussell ;-)
Or a small geyser pump.
if you sealed each chamber into the next couldn't you run just the single air connection at the bottom letting the air continue through each step being recycled by the next? thought maybe pressure would be an issue but thats broken each step as it bubbles up into each chamber, i think.
Even if it worked a sealed unit like that would be impossible to clean. Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts
@@FishmanEricRussell Sealed to air, but not sealed as in fixed.
Fishman's telescopic lock system!!! Now you can lift the water high enough to use a trickle filter. Hummmmm........
That's actually the plan for this build lol!

@@KelvinGreyheart The small ones. The larger ones seem to be doing just fine
I will have a look at those pumps thanks
neat
Thanks!
Interesting!
Thanks!
Sump up to tank?
If it works you could lift water from a sump up to a tank
nice video, if you like planted tanks with snails, shrimps or frogs look at my vids to chill,nice greetings from germany'':--**´-
Thanks so much for taking the time to come by and watch. I will stop by and check out your channel
