Thanks for the suggestion. George Zan, This is my carma entry: re-piped wash pump/3 unions & 4 nipples purchased PVC(3.5) secured pump to wash tank & checked fitting tightness & ran another wash cycle (1.5) A long afternoon and now it looks good. Please check pump as it seems to run warm. See you next week, I hope.

I do not have time to do PVC re-piping on Monday on the wash tank as it is currently piped because the system must be running for planned activities Tue PM. If Felix can bring the supplies we need and help do the work, that could work. Otherwise, I will use plastic camlock.

He put together the wash system. He recommends that you use PVC unions to connect the pump rather than camlock connectors, because the camlocks will eventually leak. If you can pick some of those up instead, it would probably be better. On Jun 23, 2007, at 8:56 PM, George M. Peters wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: George M.
