Tuesday July 17:

Today I tested the cap I made the other day using a soap lid and then putting a gardena threaded tap through it. I tested this by putting water in the bottle and seeing if it would leak. Unfortunately it leaked and so I tried to solve this problem by wrapping Teflon tape around the bottles thread which would make it water tight. Rapping it around the bottle took quite a while as you had to experiment with how much you would put on the thread, and you can only use it once. Unfortunately it can only hold for 3.2 bar and then the water is able to go through. This might be because I used a different thread then the bottle, so I decided to make yet another nozzle using a Coke bottles cap.

Here you have all the nozzles made: Note the red one is the new one.
