Heres a question looking at Macks Dragon slayer i would love one but its out of my reach [Pensioner old age ect ect ] :oops:
I have a boiler setup ect and an amount of 3 in pipe and fittings
if i build one along those lines 3 in all the way [without the 2 in reducers ] single bubble plates ect windows the lot
would this being 3 in against 4 in be a 1/4 less efficient [say 4 liters per hr for a 4 in give 3 liters an hr for the 3 in
The cost of buying the 3 in extras i need i can afford where to buy all the stuff for a 4 in is out of reach
Whats your thoughts

A 3" rig will work pretty good, it just wont be as quick as a 4".

I built a 3" bubbler a couple of years ago with single bubble cap plates and it performed really well, from memory it was producing around 2 liters per hour of 92%

If it's what you can afford then go for it, you wont be disappointed :handgestures-thumbupleft:
