![]() It is possible to mount the tube such that the angle can be adjusted however so consider that option. My tube was bolted in a fixed position so that was my method. Placing rocks on the rear floats to get a bit more tilt was something I did often though, and sometimes up front to slow things up a bit. If the unit has enough power the rear can be higher than the front and you still do ok as long as the velocity over the riffles is sufficient. Sometimes a hump of material was discovered midway up the tube covering half the riffles! Not good.įorward and back tilt also matters though less than you would think because you are dealing with an enclosed forced system. I often reached up from the rear into the tube and felt the riffles to make sure they were not packed. You have to adjust the system to get optimum riffle action, and that can be a bit difficult when you can't see inside. In other words, there is no right or wrong. In those cases I found raising the tube and allowing air to enter the tube would dramatically increase the velocity over the riffles. ![]() But if underpowered back pressure can make for a system too slow to get proper riffle action. ![]() In theory fully submerged is how these things are designed to run. If you have looked at my various articles you will see pictures of the tube above and below waterline and in between. ![]()
