Just because you have a super soaker CPS 2000 doesn’t mean you’re undefeatable :cps2000:

I voted 1/2" but in general I prefer the diameter of 1/2" schedule 40 PVC, which is closer to 5/8" in reality. I've tried 3/4" but pumping becomes too hard too quickly. 5/8" is a good compromise.

I like some blasters like the XP 150, which have larger pumps. I'm not sure how a 3/4" pump would work on something more powerful, but I think I'd get used to the difficulty of pumping eventually. So I voted for 3/4".

It's too bad I missed this poll. But I prefer the 3/4" size pump because it gets up to pressure much much quicker. Most of my homemades have used 3/4" and I typically pressurize mine from 60-85psi which is higher than the more powerful super soakers.

I've only built 1/2" ID's and never tested out 3/4". But the XP 150 proves it has unique and significant advantages to sling out water more quickly.

I think once a poll has been created, it can't be edited. Make a new poll if you want to add an option.

Can you provide more information? I don't know why you're having that problem, so here are some questions that will help: What's the error message? Can you provide a screenshot?

It used to be easier in phpBB to make a poll, but they've hidden the option now.

In the forum you want to post in, click on the New Topic button. At the bottom, there are three tabs: Options, Attachments, and Poll creation. Click on Poll creation and you can make a poll. According to the admin CP, you should be able to create a poll.
