A gun case? Pretty good idea. I used a husky case from HD. Kind of like the husky clear see thru top. But the gun case seems like a great idea too. Does that reinforced tubing resist collapsing on the suction side?
Yes it is a waterproof gun case from harbor freight. The reinforced tubing is basically the same as a garden hose, it’s reinforced more than plain old tubing, but I don’t believe it’s any stronger than normal garden hose. it was just the right size to add the hose ends on and I needed to make those little extensions inside the case so I could make the connections on the outside of the case.
I like the idea of using a gun case. You did a good job, very clean install, but I would be a little worried about possibly damaging the pump due to overheating from lack of ventilation? Have you experienced any issues since you've made this?
Nice work thank you for sharing this important information

Also check out part 2 where I install it and test it out!!

I did notice it gets hot so now I just keep the case open when I’m watering. Thank you! I appreciate the comment!!
