I drilled 1/4” holes. Should I increase to 3/8”?

What size holes for the spray bar? Trial and error?

Not yet, waiting on pump.

The storage totes have raised ridges for structural
Strength. Not sure if I can mount the bulk heads
since it’s not flat. :-(
It is flat on the short side but I’m positioning
the totes that way.

Bulkhead coming in few days. I drilled 1/4” holes for lid and bottom. Will start with that.

On the submersed pump out take that connects to the hose. How do you secure it?
Since it’s submersed, you can’t use the hose ring clamps.

FYI
From seller:
Worm Gear Hose Clamps
The band and housing are stainless. The screw is zinc plated.

Zip ties would work but don’t grip as well.
Best solution in water.
