At 11:37pm the fattening crescent moon set behind the dark form of the Bruce Peninsula five miles to the west. With only a few lights on the distant shore, the Milky Way shone brightly, revealing the details of whorls and swirls and the expansive star-riddled sky rarely seen by land lubbers.

Jonathan, The pipe and fittings are polybutylene which was used extensively between the 70's and mid 90's. I have it on my boat and have had some trouble finding replacement fittings when I re-plumbed the water heater. There are some websites which still carry these products, but it's being re

I'm surprised that is the case, unless one tank has significantly more water or is higher or has a filter or some such difference than the other yielding a higher head pressure to the pump. This would give a shorter run time and might seem to change the leak-down time. Blah blah etc. it's Sunday

I rowed out to my boat to check what bilge pump she has, and it turned out to be sunny and a steady, but not so brisk 10-12 knots from the north (thank you Canada!), so I just had to sail (oh, and I learned what the pump is too).

If the pump cycles and you aren't opening any water users, shower, faucets, etc., there are only two possibilities, a leak in the discharge side of the pump or leakage through the check valves in the pump itself. If you can somehow deadhead the discharge of the pump before any faucets and it c

Another approach is to use colored chalk. Dark color works best. Scribe a line around bilge perimeter. Water leaking will remove the chalk at that point. If needed, make additional chalk lines upstream until source is located Cheers John & Maryann -Original Message- From: cnc-list-bo

The outlet should not reduce the full capacity of the pumps working in tandem. I believe a single line outlet might just do that. It also puts all your pumping outlet eggs in one basket (failures happen). Corsair's configuration; 2 pumps (one working, one alarmed and high capacity when
