I have revived my 2 chest freezers with this valve, a can of auto refrigerant and 20 min time. 2 yrs now and still cool faster than my new chest freezer. You tube video, check it out. I just put in an order for 3 of these valves and the company sent me 3 boxes equals 36 valves . I have extras.
I have 4 , 2 large and 2 small , all from 1994 -95. I have them up on 2x4 to allow air underneath and good venting on the sides . They have been all running since 95 only disconnected this spring when we moved then plugged in as soon as possible .
When they sit idle too long then the compressor locks up. My 2 large and 2 small chest freezers are on inkbird controllers even if they are empty. I set them a few degrees below room temp so they are cost effective.

The well water before the softener has an iron smell and has a metallic taste . I brewed a few batches before the softener was installed and was not happy with the off flavors. I have an Amber lager in the fermentor that I brewed with store bought spring water , just to see what a different...
My head is spinning trying to decide what to do with my well water . Here are my water test results. Straight from the well and after the softener.What is the better water to use ? Or would it be a good idea to use 50/50 well and softened? Which water and any recommended salt additions? Or scrap...
So is this a water forum? Just got my water report for my well water that was run through a softener then analyzed. What should I add and how much to brew an Amber lager. I always brew 10 gallons at a time . Is there anything that is high? Sodium perhaps? Thanks
