Well, I dont want to stir or finagle my hose to get a good whirlpool going.... SO I hit the homedepot plumbing section! This is what I came up with:
NOTE: If you can see from the picture, the bottom exit is slightly off line from the down pipe. there is a reson for this. I noticed without it somewhat angled I was getting a not so smooth whirlpool... Play around and test before you solder it up
excuse the messy garage :/
Parts List:
1/2" Copper Elbow - 2 - $.79 each
1/2" Copper 45deg. Male/female - 1 $.84
1/2" 2' Pipe - $5.87
1/2" Female threaded adapter - $1.78
Male Camlock F type - $4.95
Already had flux, silver solder, and torch
DONE! So simple yet so effective! I dont have to drill another hole into my kettle, I dont have to gently stir... yay me! So, if you have a pump or are upgrading to incorporate a pump, go build one!
