why does the water inside look like milk(white) in the pic?, I've seen this effect before, but only half of the water in 'that' pic looked white, stripey water!, strange  ...

there's no water in it yet, that's the temporary sealant I've used while I test the setup.
also the performance is even better than I initally thought, when I first assembled it I had alignment problems that would cause some of the impellers to jam, well after I
thought I had fixed that I did that head test, it turned out that the pump at the intake end had jammed again!, so it was doing 2.5m head with only 2 pumps going!
I got all 3 pumps going and ran out of ceiling, lol, (I have 2.6m ceilings) I'll have to test it outside in the morning, it looks like it should be about 3m or so.
I havn't addressed the valves yet, but they
will get looked at when I do some more in depth testing.
