Here's a simple CPS soaker design, I'll explain each part later. The ring things are tubing clamps, it's pretty simple if you can read my PVC drawings.

you call THAT simple? I feel stupid now, I have no clue what all that is except for the fact that I can identify the pc and the nozzle. thats about it.

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

Ok, first I'll explain the symbols used in the drawing. I'm thinking about getting rid of the tech symbols article, but until then some of the symbols are here. What would be tubing instead is PVC pipe, here it would be cost effective to use 1/2" ID PVC. The ball valve is different, I just put a dot in it, not a circle. The reservoir and other stuff is made from stuff that looks like how I drew it. I really don't know what a lot of the parts are called, they just look like that.

The drawing on the bottom shows how the O ring will have to go onto the dowel rod. I used a dowel rod because it would be cheaper and simpler to use than a metal rod, however it is weaker and can swell up when wet.

It looks like I for got the put the arrow on the other check valve in the design, it's to the right of the T spliting thing and after the resiviour.

The PC is constructed with the tubing attached to the barbed fitting and then clamped on using tubing clamps. After that you should put it in some container, to save money I would use a 2L because you can see through it and it's cheap. The only bad thing would be that the 2L isn't quite the correct size so the PC will flop around in it, if I was going to assemble one of these for one of you guys I would use 3" or 4" ID PVC, 3" if you don't want it collosused very much and 4" if you do. 3" would flop around less though.

The resiviour basically is a bunch of PVC attachements and such. You can find them all at your local Home Depot or whatever, I don't know what they are called, I just know that you have to used some large PVC to put them together. It's similar to this homemade's resiviour construction, but I added a cap like pepper did when he made his homemade.

That's basically
