    I mention all of these things in the video.
    I found that the "trick" to controlling the efficiency of the unit is the height of the water in the bucket.
    A full day of blasting Saturday and I had only the slightest bit of dust on the blades of the fan.
    Adding a bag or top collector that would not impede the flow would certainly be an option if you found it necessary.
