Bean Coolers

I don't remember the post but I saw fittings like that in bunnings in the Plumbing/bathroom section. I was in at the Rocklea store yesterday fro some threaded unions not dissimilar to that one posted.

I just used them on my aquaponics set up. Not sure what you have set up though. Any piccies?

Yep. Photos of current setup would help. I use various fittings for my home made dog dryers some of which use 38mm pill type hose. I can take photos later when I get home to give you a few ideas.

Ok thanks - sounds like a trip to bunnings should sort it out. Here's a pic of the setup. The top hose is sucking out of the roaster, and the bottom hose is connected to the vac. Inside is just a colander that originally came with the pasta pot set. I'm looking for one fitting that the pool pipe can slide over, and another sized so the vac nozzle can slide into...

Anyone remember seeing a post in a bean cooler thread (here or elsewhere) where the poster had used a plastic, two piece, threaded fitting to mount through the hole/s in the 20ltr bucket?

I used something similar for a destoner which were purchased from Bunnings. (It may have been what you saw): Pictures attached: Graham

Thanks, yes it was your post I was trying to remember! That basin drain fitting was the key - looks like it fits a vac nozzle perfectly.

My humble beginnings in bean cooler... maybe not as neat and pretty but my main concern was to let the chaff pass through the first colander and catch it in the second finer mesh (made of an upside down steel mesh food cover from wheel and barrow $12.50).

Lacehim

Nice LMZ. I need to build a bigger one, and like the fine mesh idea. Where did you get that mess food cover from? I've never heard of wheel and barrow before!

thanks Lacehim https://www.wheelandbarrow.com.au/ If I could justify the $49 asked, I would go for the gold prospecting sieve set from AussieDisposal http://www.aussiedisposals.com.au/alluminium-gold-sieve-set But I cannot convince myself that this is value for money!!! Laurent

I use 2 gold prospecting sieves of different wire sizes to collect the chaff KK

KK, are you talking about these http://www.aussiedisposals.com.au/alluminium-gold-sieve-set ? Are they worth the investment ? Where did you buy them from? thanks Laurent
