[QUOTE="bend, post: 262312, member: 4811"] I've found the best way to make a power head has been to fold a box with a slot a little higher than you want your water flow, and then pack a couple of scouring pads in it to even out the flow across the slot, put a fitting on the back at the middle. Mostly I've used that on small sluices though and I'm not sure how well it scales up. You could probably use a box with a slanted front like a damper plate too, pump into the box at the back aimed at the slope on the front, the outflows regulated by the height of the opening in front and the slope of the box stops it from making the flow too turbulent, that might scale up better. I think I've seen a similar setup on a highbanker on ebay actually. [/QUOTE]
