To do list
[Nov 10, 1999]

This is a list of improvements I hope to get to one day.

Orange means optional
Red is parts I need to buy

Shopping:

something to hold the filter on with
some CO2 extinguishers
metal toys to play in the flames with

Total list of everything left to do:

Can always use more filter cloth
make spiral, to make water spiral outward smoothly [note: use leftover sheet metal?]

Pedistal support [the 55 gal barrel holding top bowl]:

Cover w/ metal

Inside piping

Bottom bowl

Straighten the aluminum

Keep the inside of the aluminum from getting hot

Get a metal bottom bowl

Water pump

Make velcro tie downs for hose locks with rings
Build a plywood box, lined with carpet, raised 6", and above the pump by 2'

Tack carpet in "waves" to help reduce sound even more

Fuel pump

Get Scott to finish the switch
Get check valve -- backup: turn stop-cock before turning off pump

Propane

Add a propane line alongside the fuel line for a propane jet in the center.

Add Scott's vinyl hose project under the water.
