I like it! Been wanting to make one... was thinking I needed little screw in nozzles. Just drilled holes seems to work fine and saves $$$$

To get even higher pressure you can tap those holes and install brass nozzles. Works really well.

good idea, I was just keeping it simple to keep the price as low as I can for the video! the pressure is pretty good with this, I tested it out in my backyard and the water was able to shoot about 15-20 feet in the air!

Lol....a sprinkler as well. I did a job at Bombadier in Quebec Canada.They build snowmobiles and atvs. We did a rinse tank for the exhaust going down a closed in conveyer systems. The piping was all PVC piping.....2 inch header with 1 inch branches. We tried what you did and were happy. Then installed the brass fittings...wow what a difference. And they are not expensive at all.....and plastic isnt hard to tap. The brass fiitings just up the pressure. Great idea you have there. I cant remember if we wven tapped it or just screwed the thread fitting in.

I wonder if you squirted some soap in there before you hook up the hose if the soap would last long enough to do the undercarriage , then rinse...
