manwithtools: Perfect solution to fix - in my opinion - a defect that the factory should be doing. When the filters in those get saturated + all the water in them with it -- it's nice to lighten the load.

topcok88: I thought there was a valve on the inlet side but wasn't quite sure. Again -- a super nice install & basement. Pentair makes some quality items -- we used a lot of 25:1 micron poly filters in the big blues for a lot of applications. Have seen those housings tightened...

Topcok88: Just an observation --- can't tell for sure - but - you should have shut-off valves on the incoming water to the filters & also on the line feeding the monobloc from the filters. Big blues are nice but be warned they are heavy when changing the filters -- you will...

APG12: Where are you located?

94yj: Go to: hardydiesel.com Lots of info & equipment, knowledgeable people.

ducatithunder: How big is this building? Just curious as to why 12" oc was used instead of 16" or 24" oc.

AviationMan: Just a suggestion -- find out where the closest Iron Workers Union is & inquire about a small crew -- unless business in your area is really strong there is a possibility that some guys are not working [on the bench, is what they used to call it] --- if anyone...

justanengineer: OK - went back & read your original post -- I must be missing something -- where in that post do you reassure the OP that his money isn't lost + how would you know that? Then - in your second post: "Nobody's arguing that $8k is a lot of money" & then...

383 240z: I'm not far away -- Butler area -- if you need help/hand trying to get this project moving forward -- while you try to resolve this issue -- get in touch via a post on here -- [ not sure how to do the PM thing thru this forum]. I've got some time & tools...

MrSurly: Thank-you for the info -- I appreciate it! I posted previously that if transported laying down, the tank should be upright for at least an hour or two before using the acetylene -- I think. Thanks again

MoonRise: Kinda' off the original topic - what material is the 'cast porous solid' in the acetylene tank made of & what happens to it after a period of time? Does it slowly dissolve completely & then the tank is destroyed or can another be cast in the tank for continued use...

MoonRise: Thanks for the input -- most interesting! If I remember correctly -- if you transport the acetylene tank laying down -- you need to stand it up for a certain amount of time [1 hr?] prior to using it? Thanks again for the info. Used to work in a...

BCreekDave: Thanks for that bit of information! After reading a post here awhile back about injuries from hydraulic systems -- grease guns can be capable of far higher pressures than 1500 to 2000 psi! Bottom line --- be extremely careful doing any testing involving pressure.

dbr1976: For some reason when I read the original post, I thought you filled it with water & then turned the compressor on to get the pressure you wanted -- am familiar with hydro testing -- had my oxygen tank hydro checked several years back for re-certification. Strange -- when...
