My plunger for bucket washing, it's made from a broken bathroom plunger, an 8 inch diameter piece cut out of a truck mud flap. It works great, much better than standard bathroom plunger for a number of reasons. Larger flat bottom does a better job a squeezing water through more cloth. Longer handle reduces bending at the waist, The T handle makes it easier to operate with both hands. If I was going to modify it I would make the handle 6 inches taller to absolutely eliminate all bending over while using it. It eliminated most of that now, but there is always improvements to be made on almost everything. I think the broken plunger part is important to spread the load to the mud flap, I'll have to replace that soon, probably pvc plastic. I've got 3 screws screwing the mud flap into the broken plunger part and one more with a large washer into the handle, the 3 are starting to rip out, it needs 3 more washers, but I will make a flat stainless piece to replace all 4 washers. These screws are important to hold the flap rigid on the up stroke to suck the water through the cloth. |
