I'm sorry that I don't have any photos to post but trust me, the things work great as long as you don't have any drooping bellies in the pipeline. Also as I said before, all joints must be 100% sealed off with tightly wrapped duct tape or a plastic tape of some kind. You can curve the pipeline gradually around curves, but no sharp corners or corner fittings. I had a 3" Simple Simon dredge made from non-perf drain line, but I think the thinner white 3" or 4" pvc would work better with tighter joints. Also, on the flex end or nozzle end I used a reducing fitting that was a drain line product not made for that purpose. Obviously you can't use an open ended unreduced nozzle or you get a clog. I still have the 6' sections of 3" drain pipe but I advise using longer lengths resulting in fewer joints to support. Be forewarned that with a drop of over 8' in a hundred foot run the suction is scary. I have 2 - 2 1/2" dredges and 1+ - 4" dredge and 1 - 1 1/2" also, and the Simple Simon when set up and operated properly will hold its own against any of them.

Happy yellow Holidays to all ------------- Terry/whipstik --------------
