The Reverse Osmosis system is a 100 gallon per day and i have the extra membrane to make it a 200 gallon a day won`t need it
Will post some more pics later.
Sent back the 12 nozzles i had and ordered 36 stainless ruby 30-50 micron nozzles should have them in a week or 2.

9 amps, damn! That thing is a beast. Based on that alone, I'd quess that thing isn't all that quiet. I'm not sure of the draw on the aquatec, but the power supply is 800mA. Both my sureflo's were loud as shit. I was blown away by the low rpms of the aquatec. Thing is almost silent. Hope that badboy works for ya.
LOL- 800ma is 8 amps- not much difference, but homebays fatboy is 17 amps, now that's a beast!

Well, if he does DTW- then the periostolic nute pumps will be unnecessary...

And- good job with all the parts hammer, looks like you are just as serious about followthrough as we are. I don't see any legal reason why you can't build all your system now, and just don't pop a bean till your legal... You might be interested in this- finally some reason has struck... http://ca.news.yahoo.com/lawmakers-introduce-bill-legalize-marijuana-225335489.html

800mA is 0.8A :)
That's another fine example of me not getting enough sleep... Thanks for the correction...

By the way- I've solved my filter setup/concerns. I found a 10" clear filter housing ( http://www.filtersfast.com/Pentek-158116-Filter-Housing.asp )that specifically has no air bleed valve, and bought some 1 micron filters for it. The plan is to install it between the res and the pump. I will install a jg check valve on the inlet of my pickup line (the very tip), and if air still gets in the system there will also be a y splitter with 2 on/off valves on each branch just after the pump, but before the accumulator. If I find air got into the pickup line during maintenance or res cleaning, I will simply close the valve from the Y going to the accumulator, and open the the other valve that circles back to the res. I'd have a switch to manually kick the pump in and cycle it until the air is quickly forced out- but bypassing all my components other than the pump and filter. -I knew I'd figure it out sooner or later... :)

Trichy you might have a problem with the set up the filter you are using is not a suction filter and you may burn that new pump up. I would put it after the accumulator with 2 pressure gages one on each side to monitor the filter. I purchased the nozzles from the same place and they are the same 0.12 stainless nozzles but with ruby inserts
