Hello David, Sadly I can't currently post to the group, but this would be my answer.

I also put a pressure regulator in line set to a few PSI to help keep the float valve alive. Something like one of these: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23623&catid=569 or http://www.thevalveshop.com/menu/manual/kerick/kerickm.html You can also get rid of the reservoir and put a pressure regulator and a solenoid valve in front of the pump, then wire the solenoid parallel with the pump so that the valve is only open when the pump is on. Otherwise the water pressure will go through the pump and overfill things. If you do that you have to take the return line that used to go back to the reservoir and connect it to that unused spigot below the group so the excess water ends up in the drip tray. I plumbed in my drip tray to the drain so I never have to empty it any more. If you don't do that you might end up emptying it more often than expected. Or you can convert it to a rotary. -- Ira -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
