I finally got my machine today. Very happy with it. I do however need to modify a few things. First I need to divert my unloader to the tank instead of the pump, second I need to think of an easy way to put antifreeze in it.
This is what I am thinking of. The machine as a 3 gallon tank for water that the hose hooks in to with a float valve. The intake on this is about 18 inches off the ground which takes away from the tank gravity fed water, I would need to keep my 300 gallon tank at least 18 inches full. So I plan on doing this.
1. Take the line from the small tank on the machine to the pump and put in a three way valve. Giving me one line to the pump that splits to a line to the small tank and a line to the big tank.
2. Keep the small tank full of antifreeze.
3. When I need to winterize it, just open the antifreeze line and pull the trigger to draw it in.
4. When I start up, turn the 3 way to fresh water, put the nozzle in the antifreeze tank and pull the trigger until I get the fresh water.
Can anyone tell me if they have done something similar or if they think this will work.
good idea, bad idea.
Is there a better way.
Any helps is appriciated.
Thanks, Mike
