i started thinking I needed a bigger pump for my 5 gallon bucket and this is where I ended up. :jaw: :jaw: :jaw:

Used some old conduit, nothing more than a pressure seal at this point. I had an old plant stand that held the jug perfectly and a big gardening tub catches the leaks enough that SWMBO hasn't complained yet. I need to redo the drain some how to make it easier to use. My 5 gal jug has a handle and I think if it was a round jug or had a couple more spouts I'd get a deep vortex but it's still moving a lot of water.

Got my vortex going.

Added some 45 degrees to my outputs and moved them around a bit. Which did the trick I get the vortex. I can see a stringer of bubbles going all the way down the jug. I'm running this off a GH dual diaphragm air pump. If I didn't have the handled jug I would have a really nice deep vortex.

First batch came out great. Already running the next round, Also changed the spout to come off sideways. Much easier to empty.
