fine , be that way, I'll call Marty instead.
You might want to look into Loctite HVAC Blue Pipe Joint Compound. My guess would be $700.00. Do I win anything? lol
I have the same chemical feed pump on my Vortex. Did your truck not come with one? I have a blue spring on my pressure relief valve. It's rated at 3,000 psi, but I wouldn't turn it up any higher than 1,500 psi.

I'm usually around 1200 but I have 250 live reel so that puts it under 1000 really unless we are doing something like this.

So what happens if I want to run 2000+? Does it stop out at 1500? Guess I need to research how they work.

I just put two hoses on my unit, $90.
So you like the pump feed better than the simple siphon feed?

the diff would be that it only draws when the wand is triggered rather than a continous draw. I've turned my siphon down to 1gal/hr, I get a lot more jobs per 5gal now. I adjust the mix in the tank accordingly.
How's its durability? I remember reading about guys having to replace parts on theirs.

Should be easy as long as you take a picture of the Aerotech setup so you can see what you're building. Maybe even tag each line if there going to be some time between disconnecting and connecting it up.
Can you put it all together and then just connect it?

Man this sounds like fun!
Been thinking of a setup for ours that would make the rinse cycle all valved up.
Not sure I completely understand the usage regarding a pump vs siphon as explained earlier though.
We are siphone and our usage seems on. Set The Meter at 3 and in about 1 1/2 hour the tank will be down to about 2 gal left.
Found a leak once, plus crappy china foot valves was causing the rinse tank to backfill overtime when not running. Kinda neat actually. Just had to remember to add more rinse : ) but I fixed it.
