Gravel cleaner pump

Hey Guys,

I am trying to make a homemade pump. I went to Petsmart and Petco. I only found the 1-5/8” tube and the 2” tube. I am 6 X 5

so i was thinking I would need a 1-3/4” tube. Where are you guys finding that size? or should i just try the 1-5/8” or go for 2”? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Both of my tubes are from PetSmart, and I can’t remember the diameter - 1-5/8” sounds about right. However, even with a 4.5”girth, and a good session, I can pack it wall-to-wall pretty well.

I have a short tube (about 7”) and a longer one (about 9”) and have added magnetic strips to the short one - just to see if it has any effect -

I saw a tube there that I am going to get next: it is rather eliptical, about 1.5” X 3”, and should be really good for “plastic deformation” work laterally.

My work begins in earnest soon, as I am coming off an extended “break” due to health and other issues, and will start over with the “newbie” routine” (about 2 months) to recondition, and then get back to a regular pumping regimen.

Well I tried the 1-5/8 on for size. Hard I couldn’t even fit in the thing. So it has got to be the 1-3/4 or the 2. I want girth mainly. Any advice from the Pump Pros out there would be helpful.

Save yourself some greif and pain from those gravel tubes—Get my outfit—See post “Selling Out”. Great price—almost new. Steve

1-5/8 should work but you might have a bit of a problem sliding in with a full erection.
