[papercreters] Re: Progress on the current project

As always, thanks for the update. I was rather more worried about
splash back once I added the cement, but with most of the mixing done
I am guessing the risk is lower. I use one of those plastic face masks
that covers from forehead to below chin, because I have not yet
acquired a discerning palette for newsprint pulp.

I like your idea on the pre-filter. I will have to poke around on the
web and see if I can find something that will fit right on the water
inlet of the washer and just leave it attached.

For the manifold, have you considered something like this:

My idea would be to mount the trigger mechanism above your barrel with
this on the end of it. Then put 3 turbo nozzles on the manifold. Then
attach a small belt around the smooth brass section above the 3 way
and run it off either a small electric motor or (ideally) a small take
off from the pressure washer it self (rather like the idea of a jet pump).
