Looks good and nicely done. I know what I would be doing with that big mouse you got there, my outdoor cats make friends with them, I don't!

Hi Smokey
Look at your boiler picture seen that you had a shut off value on top didn't see any under the pump .If you have a shut off value on both sides then can shut water off and take pump off without drainning tank and water line. I might have missed the value.
Have a good Day

HI Tim

There is likely a valve on the return side of the appliance -- Isolating the vessel from the load - drain a gallon and the pump will be dry to service

I would point out that there should be at least a 6 inch nipple before the pump to preclude (POSSIBLE) cavitation off the close/90/and short nipple!

but --- that would be picky and I am trying to change!

Thanks for the compliments! It was killing me not being able to see what was going on in there. Once I tried one window, I had to have more! Use lexan it bends without snapping. And yes there are two proxs top one shuts off when the barrel weight gets to around 90 lbs. and the bottom one keeps it off until the corn empties. I just turn it on and walk away, it will stop running when the bin is full. There run though a relay since the shop vac is 10 amp and the prox is something like 3-5 amp. And yes to what sting said.

Very good looking set up except for the funny looking cat....

Nice looking set-up. What did you use and how did you seal the windows?
By the way thats the best impression I ever saw a mouse do of a opossum

Awsome set-up, very good craftsmanship So when are you going to come over and do mine I have always been intriged by the boilers, they can heat so much. Would be nice to have for house/shop/pool etc. Do you like your boiler and if so what are pros and cons

Lets get back on track stingthieves. "When you turn your boiler on does it return the favor" takes on a whole new meaning.

Hi
String the shut off might be where you say.When you have to drain water to work on that wouldn't it create more space where air could get in?
