Looking at the color of the water in your site glass, maybe you should look into a sump pump. ;D

I’ve got two of those title turbines ordered too. A company called baca bearing makes orsupplies lots of model bearings. I’ve dealt with them in the past. With success.those turbines have pretty small shafts. I had tre finding couplers. I may ha to mak bushings to use the couplers I do have. Thy are model boat things but I don’t realy think they will hold up to the speed these little things make. I’m considering a gear box so I can make my own couplers. Maybe a spring cooler or rubber tube might be betttrr. M actually planing on using these ss oil separators. To strip oil out of the ar. Then have it go to a filter dryer. Something I can test out. The order says at lease three weeks so it may be spring weather by then.LOL.

Hi Bruce, sent you an email, hope it helps...
Good stuff Nick , many things to try , it appears to be a learned knack as opposed to a straight forward process.

Hi folks
I got my water injector all cleaned out & hooked up as it was when received , but I cant seem to get it to work successfully yet , I made a short video of the operation & what I'm doing. any insight in this area would be greatly appreciated. I have the suction tube just shoved on , its snug but not super tight. it seemed like the first time I tried it ,it worked...but that was it.
