Those DIY filters are always appreciated, if you can't use what is show, maybe you can adapt on it...thanks for sharing.

Looks like a lot of fun! However, if you hover long enough you can find a real (and more capable) filter cheaper. But if you want the pride and satisfaction of DIY...

if you try to build one let us know how it turns out. i want to try it too. maybe a 10 inch pipe if i can find it.

I found a 8" x24" sch 80 in the road at fm 1488 & I-45 last week. in good shape. need end caps. I remember seeing where guys were using rubber screw in caps (plugs) for the top. I hate canisters can't belive I commited to DIY one. So it's stricktley mechanical with a back flush so it wont have to be cleaned. EVER! can it be done?

fshfrk - can you post more the backflush concept? I have 8' of 8" (maybe 10" don't remember) pipe laying around and some spare time...
