Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 9 Pros of Berkeley Model Window Few materials Cheap Enclosed (leaks/light) Drain Elbow Not much secondary structure Bucket (stability/storage) Intuitive use Cheap electrical components Electrical enclosed in bucket Design has been water tested Output is bigger than input for lack of overflow
10
