+Capt. Obvious Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Doing this write up for fun and I thought some people might be interested To begin you will need: A bottle (20oz or 3 liter etc) Some 1/4 airline Some 1/4 stiff tubing Some cat5, phone line, speaker cable or any insulated wire A float switch A medo map-1704 medical air pump A 5-6v power source (old cell phone charger or an arduino are good choices) A drill (or a lighter and a crappy screwdriver) Silicon sealant Step 1: Wash the bottle and lid thoroughly Step 2: Drill (2) 1/4" holes in the lid (or melt them with a hot screwdriver) Step 3: Cut a length of rigid tube the height of the bottle and attach it to a length of 1/4 hose (this is the output hose, so make it long enough to get to your tank or sump) and insert it in one of the holes all the way to the bottom Step 4 push another piece of airline into the other hole (approx 1/4" into the lid) and silicon around both holes to ensure an air tight seal Step 5 attach the air pump to the other end of this hose Step 6 attach the wire to the motor Step 7 attach one wire to the positive leg of your power source Step 8 attach the other wire to one of the float switches wires Step 9 attach the other float switch wire to the ground leg of your power source Step 10 mount and adjust your float switch Step 11 fill bottle with rodi Step 12 screw the lid on tightly Step 13 plug in your power source trim.MEIOxO.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
