hi
i have mentioned in other threads that my 560l tank runs a pond filter and pump, the pump is rated at 4000lph and it all flows though 30mm ID pipe work. i have now been reading that a spray bar would give me goo circulation but what i would like to know is how to go about making a spray bar for 30mm pipe work! should i step the pipe down to a smaller diameter or just use 30mm solid pipe with equal holes drill along the length? how big should the holes be? the only draw back is the OD of the pipe is 36mm so its going to look pretty rubbish!
if i step down in size will i create a back pressure and reduce flow!!
sorry about all the questions
