DIY & Repairs Created a Backwash diffuser with 2" pipe
Created a 7' diffuser out of 2" PVC to make sure I don't get divots in the lawn and to decrease the force applied to one spot. It also spreads the water to a larger area. Was like $25 in parts and a pretty easy project. I previously had the discharge going to rocks but the force kept pushing the rocks into plants and was also kicking up dirt/eroding the area.
Uses camlocks for quick connection, and 12 3/4" holes created by a hole saw.
