Hey. Just purchased the Delevan 5800 setup from Bob at Pressuretek.com. Just wondering, I'm looking at all the chem tanks and there are all different styles. Flat, Horizontal, PCO etc.? anyone know what the best type is. I'll be using it to spray chlorine etc. onto roofs. Bob said PCO (I think thats what they're called) but they seem to be more expensive. Also, anyone know where to get them cheap. I think I found a good one plasticmart.com: The Leading Plastic Site on the Net. He also suggested getting one without the bulkhead attached because they come attached to the bottom of the tank and if anything happens to it, all the chem. will leak. He said to drill a hole in the top of the tank and run hose to the bottom to get at the chem. Anyone do this? And do you lose pressure because the pump has to suck the water up from the bottom? Also it seems I would have to run the pump dry in order to get the initial chemical running through it because obviously it won't siphon if the outlet is on top of the tank. Any input is appreciated. You guys have been real helpful in getting me started so thanks for everything. Peter
