Forgive me if this has been asked and answered but I can't seem to find the answer. I'm working on a homemade double releaser. I can't seem to find an actuator like some of the big manufactures use. Has anyone built/bought one and where might I find it? I'll be happy to post my project as I progress if anyone might be interested.

Maybe ask someone in the classifieds selling one they make? There are a few that have been posted.

Try searching it more, by rewording it in various ways. I don't remember the thread, but there is one that was active in the past 2-4 weeks. A mapler showed how he made it, even had a u-tube video. The one I'm remembering used a SS sump pump and switches/float etc to run it.

I think I've seen the one you are referring to. I'm looking for the pneumatic cylinder that switches vacuum between the lower tanks.
