Woot woot! I am game, would be great to win this item!!

This would be awesome!

I have received my shipping numbers and items are in transit, you should have received notification by now. If not he may not have gotten them all inspected and shipped this past weekend. His garage was packed tight with them all this time around.

There were several step filters on ebay at one point, not sure if there are anymore or not. I know some of the employees that were let go picked up a lot of items from the auction and are slowly letting most of it trickle out on to ebay so everyone has a chance to pick extras up.

Yeah company was unable to make its payments to the creditors, so it was bought by a creditor and is now up for sale. They had online auctions for equipment that was still on hand. Now the servers are up for an unspecified time while the creditors look for someone to buy the company.

In the top where the pumps and the valves are. the hoses can kink and stop the flow, specially if there is still some wort left behind. This is also where you will refill the glycol or water depending on what you want to put in it.

I have also seen ball lock ends cracked that affect the flow as well as the in-line filter housing on the hose. The crack will allow air to be sucked in and lower the flow rates.

If it is circulation water and still filling up then there is either a leak somewhere causing it not to pull/push the amount it is supposed to or there is a blockage somewhere. I would double check all hoses inside, make sure all the seals are good and lubed, make sure the ball lock connectors...

Sounds like it might be the pickup tube and gasket. Need to make sure the tube is seated in the gasket properly and the gasket is not cracked or ripped. If that does not have a good seal it will not pickup from the step filter. If that is all good it may be the T adapter that the gasket seals...

Great work!

Looks good to me

Just make sure that the brick you found has the proper voltage and at least 3a power. If it is under that there is a risk of it shutting down during high draw times.

They are on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-GST36U12-P1J-MEAN-WELL-Switching/dp/B07CJWTBNB/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=meanwell+gst36u12-p1j&qid=1597421641&sr=8-1 Several other variants as well if you don't want the mean well brand. Just search for 12v 3a power adapter or 12v 3a...

I am at work at the moment so I will have to double check but if I remember correctly it is 12v 5amp power supply that came with the two that I have. I will double check when I get home and post if no one else has commented.

Pretty sure that anyone here will already know this but please make sure to include that the company is out of business and the equipment will need some extra work to keep alive...
