Rotovac CFX & Docking Station

[Shorty]

With the recent discussion on the new 15 gallon CFX, I thought I'd chuck this photo up for comment.

It is a few years old now.

I was not happy with having to drain the Docking Station via the CFX, so I installed a manual dump.

Where the solution line comes from the Docking Station to the pressure pump, I installed a three way Tee Piece.

To this I attached a length of hose, tying it off along the metal solution feed pipe.

At the far end I installed a simple on/off tap.



It's easily reached under the tank to turn on or off.

It works for me even if it doesn't look to flash.

No one sees it, & I'm able to drain the tank as it's only water, while I load the rest of the gear in the van.

My set-up used only the ball shut-off as a drain for the tank. I just drilled a hole to accept the ball valve on the front of
the unit. It wasn't the large docking station, just the standard CFX. I believe Ron Marriott was looking at it out in B.C.
Good work Shorty!

Just thought I'd regurgitate this one again.

It was on my OLD Rotovac Docking Station, now called the Ranger.

There's always a simple way of doing things.
