There was a good thread a few months ago about plumbing the system.


Can anyone retrieve that thread please




Now that I think more about it, I believe the thread was on Yellow Bullet in the trash or be trashed section so you could try a search there.

My experience has not been so positive, Puked 2 pumps and the control switch in 4 years. had to haggle a bit on the second pump and switch but they finally buckled. They said the units are only rated at a 30-40% Duty cycle if I remember correctly. so do your research. Had I know that I would have chosen a different brand
if you run a blast cabinet that means 3-4 minutes of run time and 7 minutes or so of cool down. And yes it has been serviced regularly. We don't run the unit that hard except when using the blast cabinet occasionally. My 1992 Sears 2 stage never whimpered and never failed in 17 years. Thought I was stepping up with the eaton. ???? next stop QUINCY!!! PERIOD!!!
