8:00am I've already been up and about for 3 hrs and at work for 2. But then again you probably work later than I do. My day is done (unless I am making computer service calls) usually no later than 6:00 or 6:30. Any later than that means "something's BROKE"

Re: BigAl's slow chronicle . . .

Ok after ANOTHER trip to the local Lowes I have a couple more pieces put together. I have the inlet turned down (do I need the filter/screen thingy?), I have the outlet converted to 1", extension of 10" to get the hose clamps OUT of the water, then converted to "Barbed" fitting, then flex tubing, then a BALL valve(barbed in/out) more flex tubing barb into bulkhead. All this is "mocked up" and ready for the next step. Stay tuned as I WILL have questions!!

Look this mock-up over and let's BRAIN STORM some...

Mock-up 1


Mock-up 2 (with extensions to get clamps out of water)


Ideas? Suggestions?

Re: BigAl's slow chronicle . . .

Looks good Al...

If you want to skip the extension, just get the plastic clamps instead of SS.
