I am by no means an expert, ( I am putting my first electric together now),but I really don't think you need switches to cut all power in. Just like you said, it is just like unplugging the wires from the outlet. I would suggest putting a dp switch to cut power to the SSR and element. Then, you...

I would put your dp switches on the other side of the terminal. i would have them control power to the element/ssr. The way it is drawn now, if you turn the switch off, you lose power to the pid, and outlets. ( If i understand your diagram)

Instead of multiple gfci breakers, you could always buy a spa box that includes a 50 or 60 amp gfci breaker, to feed another box for the smaller circuits. I am adding a 100 amp sub panel, and using the 50 amp gfci breaker that came in the spa box in the sub panel to feed the spa box. this way...

If you have access to a big pipe threading machine, you can use this to bend your tube. You will have to make a tool to insert where the tube normally goes, and wrap the stainless around that. The tool should consist of a large diameter tube welded (centered of course) to the end of a smaller...

I have read countless posts on the best way to control electric elements. I looked into PWMs, and infinite control switches, etc... I believe that the most simple, cost effective way to control an element is with a PID, and SSR. GreenMonti, I have read your posts concerning welding, and I...

how about using a cheaper rotary switch and relays?

I am glad to see people talking about safety, concerning the correct size wire for the cord. Something that caught my attention, was that you want to use this cord wherever you have 240 volts. I am not sure how your equipment is built, but I would want to make sure I had a GFCI in the system.

You could do a search for the individual filters, and i am sure you could find them online. Just make sure the filters meet the requirements. In the first kit listed, they list 2 different media filters, 1 carbon filter,( to remove chlorine that will kill the membrane), and 1 filmtec membrane...

I use the one I made. I took a section of 1" stainless steel tubing, and welded on a piece of stainless flat plate, and drilled a couple of holes..... It cost me $0.00 :rockin:

Flojet also makes a G57 model. This particular model is powered by air. You could use Co2, ( very expensive), or air from a compressor. this pump is rated at 7 gal a min, and the air pressure controls volume, as well as pressure. It goes for about $100. This could be a viable option for cooling...

Use a deburring tool. They are sold in the plumbing section. if you don't want to make an extra trip to the store, you could carefully use an undersized drill.

We blast everything we make out of stainless at work. it looks awesome!! It looks like it has been painted with a satin silver paint. If you are going to blast it yourself, take all of the proper safety precautions. We use glass for the media, and I must warn you not to use any media that has...

I am not sure what the ink is made of, ( it probably won't hurt you), but just remove it. You can sand it off pretty easy, or you could try soaking it in oxyclean, or PBW. I am sure it will come off that way too.

Heck,.... if you live anywhere near KC, I could hook you up with some cascades.

I just made one out of scrap from work.... It cost me $0.00!!!!! :):mug::ban::rockin:

Bravo would be good in it as well.

BrewBeemer, I was trying to help BrewVegas with some issues on his machine. I understand you have the cadillac of machines, and probably do not need any help with tigging. I mentioned sharpening tungsten to him, as I believe that this is a bihg part of the issue he is having. I did not mention...

Quote "I've experimented for hours with the TIG feature but can't get the AMPs setting right. Besides the knob on the machine, I don't see a way to control the amount/force of the arc while tigging. There is no foot pedal attachment. It seems like I either have it turned up too much and blow a...

Finished Pics????????

QUOTE"And then what, only brew when it is cloudy? Id be blinded!!! " Pol, I can see you have no idea what is the right thing to do..... Function doesn't matter, it's all about the Bling!!!!!!:cross::cross:
