Re: New 180

My question is what are you doing sitting on the pot and talking on your cell phone? I really hope you don't do that when your talking to me, the idea bothers me a little

glad to hear you had a good time though

Can't wait for a meeting at your place to work on the system, should be fun.

Re: New 180

Dang I dont log on and miss out. Remind me not to borrow Charlies phone. I might run over to Kevins this saturday. I'll ask him about the padding. I need to get 3 true union ball valves so I can put water in an look for leaks. Can you get the valves in any stores???? was thinking lowes or homedepot should have them??

Re: New 180

Well I was going to wait till I had water in, but heck I'll tell you now....... I have valves on the way. Also bought some plumbing supplies. I hope to have valves here next week. Then I'll fill it with H2O and make sure no leaks.

Re: New 180

Another dead thread heard from.That is great news Brandon. Can you leak test it before then? If I remember right, All you need to do is get a 1.5" bulkhead, and plug the one hole in back, and you could leak test it fairly easily. Looking forward to your progress, I know you are itching pretty bad to get this thing running.

Re: New 180

I have all 3 bulk heads. So I guess I could do somthing like that. I just figured I put a true union on each one. Thinking might be less mess when I drain it. I guess I could pump water out window. I almost need a bigger pump. Might take awhile with a maxi jet 1200
