xzandra lee Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 hi guys we are doing a production at the moment that requires a working rain window with an indipendant pump to pull water through that can be turned on and off remotely. basically so it looks like it is raining outside I need some ideas as to making this work and potentially spec as to how to construct this I have a basic idea but if anyone has done one b4 that would obviously be the better option xdeex :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 The long plastic plantpot type things from garden centres - about 3 feet wide, 6" deep and high. Screw these under the window, and a perforated tube above. 15mm plastic plumbing pipe works well. Then a trip to the aquatic shop for a pump and some hose. If you have the facility close to, to get rid of water, then run it from the mains via a garden hose and just waste the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramdram Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Saw the exact same system above done in the Drum in Plymouth; worked really well. The production even had a working shower but off the mains hot water system of course, for the gratuitous nudity scene (still have absolutely no idea why some bloke needed a shower, onstage, in the first 5 mins of the play). Should you elect to go for the recirculating water system suggest you put a drop of bleach or sterilizing tabs in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
