Ok great. Could you also tell me (since I moved into this house so I
never saw the instructions) - the black pipe (2" wide, around 8" long)
in the bucket, that goes flush with the wire gauze filter, just under
the lid of the bucket? So that it points down through the middle of the
bucket? It seems to make sense that way, flow wise.

Oooooooo... pretty pictures:
