  1. Creative, looks good...
  2. Rain Suits

    We switched over to tall wader boots that come up your thigh. Already have long "trench coat" type rain jacket. The combo seems to be working ok until you roll the boots down and try to walk around, a lot of excess boot to deal with like a fireman's boot.
  3. We run a 1" line to the pump with an inline filter. If you're only going to use one filter, put it between the tank and the pump. You can always rinse out the tank if you get a lot of trash in it. 2" manifold off the tank is a good setup, works great fo us.

Seems like a pretty simple idea. if the 15 gal is too big find something smaller... with a 12v pump it could be a 5 gal bucket and a short pickup tube. Use a ball valve($5) for a wand or get a cheap udor trigger gun($35). Some thing like this:

    Should have had it hosted by a server farm, back-ups, redundancy...

  11. Looks like a great job, congrats on the transformation.
  12. hose barb?

    You should get to know what the numbers on the tips mean and how to read them. 0040 is good or a hose barb does good as a backup.
