That's pretty neat. What does the motor usually do in a fridge?
It is a timing motor for controlling things like defrost cycles. There is also a motor like this to push the ice cubes out of the ice cube maker into the bin. Geared down motors like this are common in appliances.
Cool. Definitly keep us posted. This seems a lot less disaster prone than surge systems that try to accomplish the same thing.
Well we will see about the disaster proof thing.
The only problem I've had with the vertical screen system I'm using now is when the water slot at the top gets plugged and it squirts water out of the sump. I seem to have fixed that now by draping a piece of black plastic over the top. It prevents algae from growing at the slot and plugging it up, and catches any squirts, directing them back down the screen. So far no problems since I added the plastic. But you system doesn't seem to have any water under pressure. I'm assuming this just sits on top of a sump?
thats interesting!
No sump for me. This thing revolves just hiting the water for maybe 10 seconds. There is no pump and no slots involved
