Did you use the pvc glue to secure the pen tubes to the manifold? I'm thinking of building a second bottle washer. The cpvc uprights I used on my original won't work with my flip top bottles. I'm so spoiled by using the bottle washer that I can't hardly force myself to mess with bottle I have to clean by hand anymore.I got 10’ of 3/4 pax (pvc) with corner pieces and t-connectors. 2 - 12 packs of red pens from the dollars store and a 3/4 inch FNPT X FHT PVC Swivel to connect the hose. I had the fastrack (they’re pretty cheap on Amazon) and measured it all out. I got the adhesive recommended for pvc. It dries REALLY fast.
I already had a 1/4 hp pump for when I’m running my chiller. Instead of continuously running water I make ice the night before and recirculate the water through the chiller. Cut off a piece of garden hose to run from the pump to the wash rack and it worked like a charm.
I’m pretty pumped
Same question. How did you secure the straws in their holes?As an alternative to pens I used stainless steel straws, but I can only wash 10 bottles at a time
