Sean Looking good. Do yourself a favor and put a tru-union ball valve on top of the pump in your stand. You are going to have to service the pump at some point and it will make your life so much eaiser when you do.

Lookin good man, I like the upper storage area.

I see the union to his pump It's before his 90 elbow

your right about the union on the inlet side I was talking about the outlet side of the pump. You turn off both valves, undo 2 unions and the pump is out in seconds. Service the pump, connect 2 unions and turn 2 valves and your pump is back in service. Can't be simplier to service the pump.

I have two tru union ball valves I just dont have it glued in yet

Sean let me know if you need some help plumbing. I'm pretty much just bumming around the house these days, and could make a trip up there to help you blast it out in a day if you want.

 

[DiscoReefRover]

hows tom night sound Tj Lets get some water in this thing already !!!!!!!!

 

[Tswifty]

Sounds like a plan, just let me know what time and shoot me your addy again.

 

[melev]

So, let's see the water already.

 

[DiscoReefRover]

Paitience Grasshopper:hammer: in due time Acctually waiting for a bit of silly cone to dry a lill longer but I could start with another tank......Hmm :fish1: idea!!

 

[melev]

Just grab some snow and shovel it in. As it melts, you'd have a water test in progress.

 

[DiscoReefRover]

Sadly it has all melted away at my house already !!!

 

[melev]

Time to drive over to Jeff's place. Or Kevin's. They seemed to have plenty.

 

[Tswifty]

Definitely have plenty. Even with today and tomorrow's higher temps I doubt we'll get rid of it.

Sean, should we start chanting WATER, WATER, WATER
