So I built two electric releasers this year for myself. Used starite dominator pumps in both of them. Now with the warm weather we had early this season I’m having slime issues on the screens of...

Where did you buy the unit? Maybe they can provide wiring. Vfd would have to be one capable of converting single phase to three phase. Unless you already have three phase power. Either way a three...

It should have a nameplate on motor telling voltages. Sometimes diagram is on nameplate also. If it's a 9 lead motor it could be hooked up for 240 or 480 volt configuration.

Last install I did I used 160 psi water pipe to protect tree. It has been up 3 yrs and is doing ok for not growing into trees so far. I just want to use the method that will cause the least damage to...

I'm getting ready to install some new mainlines. What is the best way to install the mainline wire to end trees so the least amount of damage is done to tree? Are lags capable of holding 1 1/4" and 1...

I have a bhr single vertical releaser. On slow flow days releaser starts to raise float to dump and causes a air leak which leads to icing on float rod.Also when this situation happens flapper to...

Yes it collapsed but so did all the pvc pipe including vacuum regulator distorting. Not sure if I use steel pipe and move pvc away if it will still work because the flex coupler is rated max 140...

How is the best way to hookup incoming air to large body alamo with no threads? I used a rubber fernco and it failed after about 1.5 hrs of running tonight at 25" of vacuum.

I'm wondering if I put too much oil in intake and caused it to be pushed out end caps. How much oil should intake of vacuum pump have flowing to it? I have. 1/4" soft copper feeding both bearings and...

Have a large body alamo I'm putting into service this year. I had taken it apart and cleaned everything up since it had been unused for years. Today I tested it and have it set up with flood oil....

Releaser is a standard 10x24" electric releaser with a square d pressure switch linked to a rod with a large blue releaser float. The problem I have is adjusting tension on the square d switch to...

I have a Bernard electric releaser made for a external pump. I put a submersible pump in a 4" pipe that is attached to it and also in vacuum. This year I used a vacuum pump that was capable of over...

I don't use the shims when I rebuild mine. Mine run very hot probably in 150+ range. The only problem I have had is bearings wouldn't last. I bought quality bearings to try now. With cheap china...

Do you mean gasket for endplate or for the bearing cover plate? The pump endplates usually don't need any gaskets or sealant. I have 4 1550s one has to have a gasket on endplate for clearance. I...

Pump runs good at 1725 rpm I have a 5" pulley for one pump and a 6" for other. I think I'm going to replace 6" with 5" so everything would be interchangeable. I was thinking around a 4" on motor...

I am building two gas powered gast 1550 vacuum pump skids. Pumps will be belt driven to get required rotation for vacuum pump. The predator engine is a 3 hp 79cc model. Has anyone used this motor on...

How high of vacuum did u run with your pump with sealed bearing? Right now I have pump up to 27.5" will I need to have oil running through bearing to keep bearings from seizing?

I have already switched lines it makes no difference. Pulley side doesn't have much air sucking through it. If u place finger over pipe that feeds bearing it won't even create a suction.

Here's how I set up the pump.

Just got pump put back together with a flood oil system. It pulled 26" on startup but I am having trouble getting bearing on pulley side of pump to draw oil. Oilers I picked up on ebay turned out to...

I used a chart for aof blower. Went one size larger because was planning on one blower for both auf/aof. I decided against that then used two blowers . Can't remember where I found sizing for auf...

Do I need more auf as in bigger holes? Or a bigger blower? I like the load times but also want pan to boil as hard as is possible.

I'm running 463 cfm squirrel cage blower through 3/8"and 1/2" holes in grates. I may drill those larger also. Adjusting auf damper doesn't seem to change fire much. I have new gasket and gasket rope...

Firewood is 2-6" diameter 30-55" in length. I don't split any of it. When I load it takes about 5-10 minutes to get back to full boil. So I could maybe shorten firing times a little. My stack you can...

I have been reading through archives on here about stack lengths. What length stack does everyone run on forced draft arches? Local dealer suggested adding stack to make my flue pan boil better in...
