7/17/20 - Intermittent usage with design 2 works. Still redesigning with a filter bag. Until that happens, I've uploaded the design 2 pictured. The cage contains oxide, but it still needs to be pulled and emptied daily. For design 2, print two cages, inserts, bar4's, and an extender if desired for spacing and resistance. Cut two 3" lengths of copper pipe. Inserts keep the copper positioned in cage. I added snip-away supports inside the cage, so you don't need support material. Cut two 1 inch pieces of pool noodle. Put inserts inside on cage bottoms, and stuff noodle sections into tops of cages for flotation. Zip tie together as shown in the picture. BTW... I've gone from 4 bottles of chlorine per week to one bottle every 2 or 3 weeks. Water looks great. Go with a smaller solar panel to reduce oxidization speed, and maintenance. I've avoided adding circuitry, but might do so later.
