I think the Blueline looks more impressive then the Vortex did. It impressed us because we knew what it was, but to someone walking by it just looked like a skinny slide in with some multicolored gauges.

Jim your coolant is low.

 

[Jim Martin]

Jim your coolant is low.

Coolant level is PROPER... :!:

I believe as the pressure builds in the heli-coil & the system...it will rise... :!:

At least that is the way my EVEREST HP..operates... !gotcha!

It is like checking you Tranny fluid...always check it COLD.... :idea:

Hey Jim..."is that a small fressy tank on the right side... :?:

Lots of room...Iike the arrangement... 8)

 

[Jim Martin]

it is an over flow for when the softener cycles it's self.....this weekend I am going to put a hole in the floor and pull the tank back out and let it cycle on the ground.......

I was going to put a fresh tank in it but at this point in time I am just going to play it for awhile with out one...finally found a faucet adapter thingy and so far everything has been working out just fine with out one.....I wanted the fresh tank that whatshisbutt was selling but he decided to keep it........

 

[joe harper]

i also called whatshisbutt....."Again"... :roll:

And if whatshisbutt...doesn't sell that to you.... !gotcha!

I am going to "sTaLk"...his....BUTT..all over this BoArD...until he is in the "FeTaL" position
in a KenTuCkY...INSANE ASSylum.... :x .................... :mrgreen:

 

[Jim Martin]
