Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/Zinfidel on /r/BurningMan I actually did use a vortex-style blower in my design (see here) though its output was in the 200 CFM range, not nearly that of those Can Fan blowers. I was running it off of a battery and was in close proximity to other campers so I didn’t consider using a monster like those.

——* /u/Blk_shp on /r/BurningMan This is the fan I used for mine, it’s borderline leaf blower status and fits 4” flexible dryer exhaust tube perfectly. Draws 2.5A. Highly recommended.

Using a float switch is also a good idea, so you don’t run it dry and burn out your pump.

The more holes you can drill in the bucket (without compromising its integrity and leaving a reasonable volume for water at the bottom) the better. More surface area means more evaporation.

I had issues with mine leaking the first year. I found I had much better luck cutting the outer pad so that it’s pushed against the inside of the bucket. I put the vinyl tube hoop on top of the inner pad, and tied it with thread so it can’t move. It doesn’t leak at all using this method, as the outer pad only gets damp by soaking up water from the saturated inner pad. And it works better, because there is no gap between the pad and the bucket for air to go through, it has to all flow through the pads.
