I'm coming back from the dead to post. A few years ago I decided to remove my threaded valves and install Pneumatic valves. I actually came across the exact same issue after purchasing 5 butterfly valves with no handles (ebay) and pneumatic actuators. I think you will have to fabricate these...

I have not actually purchased the pump head yet. I just have the motor currently, open to any options.

I think the biggest problem is actually finding specs on the housings. I have looked everywhere with no luck.

now im just excited in a weird way. lol

Ha thats what I thought, thanks for the responses! The real question is what temp do you think pool or spa housings can handle?

Find a temp agency that will place you. Most likely the person you are working for will then hire you after your term is up.

long story short, I have an extra 1 hp pool pump motor without housing. If I added a new impeller and housing, do you think it would generate enough pressure for CIP pump...

Are you looking for Pneumatic valves, or the little bal valves? Have you looked on ebay for the pneumatic valves?

Go to homedepot, and get these http://www.homedepot.com/p/Avanti-Pro-4-1-2-in-x-5-8-in-11-in-Non-Woven-Quick-Strip-Disc-PNW045STRB01G/202830907 I used them and polished my stand to almost a mirror finish, But I couldn't find high temp clear, so I painted it.

Yeah well 25 gallons of RO water that has been heating for an hour is a huge waste.

Sadly this happens even when I'm moving strike water on a bottom drain kettle. I wonder if 25 gallons of water on a bottom drain is to much force for these?

Thats pretty annoying that they screw into the tank exposing the ends. I was thinking about sinking these fittings into the lip if it was thick. But I guess not. Thank you for looking into this.

I have a few questions maybe some one can please help answer. When they installed the threaded black lid with screws, did they drill all the way through so the screw goes into the tank? How deep is the lip where the lid attaches to? I was thinking about making another lid and installing...

I have had the same exact experience. Drilled the old impeller out, purchased a march impeller, drilled that out. still same garbage issue on 2 pumps. It only happens when temps rise. I am tempted to purchase a replacement magnet that is attached to the motor. except for the fact that they are...
