'cause you pulled the pipe as well as the handle.

Try another bend bot DON'T touch the pipe, only the handles

I never touch the pipe - ive found that if i pull the bend too quick, i get ripples - which ive never really understood!

use that pipe in the pic as a feed to the eductor-it'll improve mixing

probably

Or not but it will create a lot of turbulence and resistance to the flow.
