    Resurrecting a R/O system. Please help me.

    Yeah Rudy, I have a large snap ring tool, you actually screw the handle to open or close the jaws/pins. I'm wearing safety glasses, mechanics gloves and I'm thinking to myself as I have a snap ring loaded and ready to launch into orbit, there has to be a better way to secure this end onto this...

    Resurrecting a R/O system. Please help me.

    Yeah the solenoid is fixed, in the attached image the plunger (cylinder with slot cut into it) with the red spring behind it was sticky, resulting in the solenoid failing open. I cleaned the bore that the plunger goes into with a pipe cleaner style wire brush. Seems to be working fine now...

    Questions about slab heat

    I had a pretty severe leak in the one manifold that I found and repaired during early season testing back in Oct. So super familiar with the lines on the reservoir tank as I was using them to determine if I had all the leaks repaired or not. Thanks for the heads up!
