Good video. I haven't seen the floating screen used before. Pretty neat!

[@SaltSquatch]

It’s a huge help, especially in dirty water

[@crazy8acres651]

Just finished watching the shrimp screen how to video. Think I found a DIY project today. Thanks.

[@SaltSquatch]

We have an updated screen that Jeremy has improved upon. I’m wanting to get a new video out on that as well in the near future.

Awesome video bro! I'll be working on this project this weekend. Thanks for sharing

If you follow the written measurements in the video a 3/4" PVC cap will not fit through a 1" hole in the 2" PVC cap. The 3/4" PVC pipe will fit through the 1" hole so I'm fine with it; I don't want any slop around the 3/4" PVC pipe at the 2" PVC cap. At 4:44 the 3/4" CPVC pipe is shorter than the 28" length mentioned in the written measurements so you'll have excess length at the top as seen in the black pump. If you use cement and the piston ever fails, you'll be able to hack off the piston and put a new one on. If you don't use cement and attach everything with screws, you'll be able to unscrew and replace the piston.

Thank You. Good design for the plunger and gasket! I wonder how strong the seal is for air or water pumps.

Nice video very easy to follow, im interested in making one of these for when i fix broken pipes underground do you think this pump would be able to suck mud out of a hole?

[@michaeleverton4882]

Install a Handle just below the top cap!... Will make pumping So Much Easier!..... 🦐

[@SaltSquatch]

Good thought!

[@michaeleverton4882]

@@SaltSquatch- , I have installed a plastic pipe, level end cap, facing down, below my washer system!, in my pumps! Have to make a hole in side, just below the end, where it fits on, to get split pin thru! This adds more suction power!.... 🦐

[@SaltSquatch]

@@michaeleverton4882 thanks for the tip! I will have to try that!

[@michaeleverton4882]

Our plastic, pvc, bait suction pumps in SA 🇿🇦, and the Australian Alvey pumps are much more advanced with the in built handle! 🦐

[@SaltSquatch]

I actually bought an Alvey pump
