Making cover on interglated starter of the oxygen pump.

The interglated starter part of the oxygen pump keep on clogged with the roots of kiambang (water lettuce) plant [1].
I used top part of 5 liter container as cover to protect clogging to the oxygen pump. Really feel like MacGuyver [2].

The marked interglated part in red circle.

The improvised look.

Video of the smoothly running of oxygen pump.

Still no clogs after I finish tidying up ground floor.

Let see how it goes tomorrow😉.

In a 1989 interview with Richard Dean Anderson, Arsenio Hall said that he had heard the word MacGyver used as a verb meaning "to do the impossible." Anderson then used it as an adjective meaning "impossible." Anderson stated that his show's producers had just missed out on getting the word "MacGyverism" entered into the Webster's Dictionary and that "we" intended to try to get it in the next update.^[31] The word "MacGyver" however entered the Oxford Dictionaries in 2015 as a verb meaning "make or repair (an object) in an improvised or inventive way, making use of whatever items are at hand".
