| I'm not 100% sure that this is how a mixing eductor works, could someone help me out? It looks like the water flows in the the T, forced through a smaller hole to make it like a jet, and then out through the other end of the T (straight line) in the same size pipe that it entered the T. The 90 degree part of the T has air sucked through it due to the venturi force of the water going through the T (causing a vacuum).
If that explanation is a little confusing here may be a better one: Water goes straight through the T, the flow of the water through the T sucks in air and places it into the water in the form of bubbles.
In essence you are sucking air into the water column (to go to the skimmer) without having to use a seperate pump to blow the air into the water. The only pump needed would be to push the water throught he T.
If this is true I may have found the way to complete a project I have been thinking about!
