    How high off the floor is the horizontal mount on the sprayer? I have a window above mine, but would like to get one of these!

    New Basement Brewery Build

    The floor is good, but you should have slopped it to the drain. I did that and couldn't be happier... Looking good! I like the sprayer... Wish I had one.

    Best/Safest Method of installing an Element

    Correct, but I am able to replace the element quickly an have no concerns around leakage. I was able to torque the element/ o ring/ box assembly down really tight using a socket and breaker bar. There is no chance on leakage as this is really tight. How tight is yours if you are spinning the...
