I have a large diameter line running to the pump, and coming out of the pump it immediately T's off to two smaller diameter lines. Due to height restriction, could I put this on the line feeding the pump, or on one of the discharge lines? Can you recommend a better fitting heater in the 1.0 kw range?

There is a model available that should fit on the discharge of your pump that basically replaces that tee and will plumb into your piping that now connects to the tee.

There is an on/off rheostat dial on the front of the unit. This would be fine if you are running straight power to the heater. I have the heater set at its highest setting and my power comes from a wall thermostat. Hope that makes sense to you.

I don't have a problem but the line only feeds out about a quarter of an inch every time you start it so it may have to be left to stop and then restart it several times so that more line can feed out again. The line only feeds out in increments. I never have to manually pull it out.

Hello Joyce P.Thanks for your interest in our product. Two heaters can be connected with a by-pass kit for increased efficiency on larger pools, the kit is not required for pumps ranging in 1.0 hp

I used 1/4 I/D was a bit small but heated the tubing end up with a lighter and it fit the pump good. But don't buy this pump, it works ok but doesn't move much water. I would definetly get a larger one.

I have my well pump on one side red connector and my hot water heater on the other side red connector. My generator isn't big enough to run both at the same time,so I turn off the water heater breaker when tank is full of hot water and cut on the well pump breaker. I have to alternate them is what I am trying to say.

200 btu is 3/4 in piping, 250 btu up all require 1 and 1/2 in piping with 3/4 in at the heater. Anything less will not fill has line fast enough. You may get away with 1" but says 1 1/4". I just ran it from outside the house to save re piping

I run mine on a Fluval 306 on the outlet line. I Assume you are going to use this on a return line form a sump. I have had mine sitting with no flow for at least 30 minutes before and the body of the sterilizer was warm. the light still works fine still.

OK the way it works is= it goes in your main water line in parallel and you need a pressure gauge also so you can see what the pressure is and if it says 40-60 what that means is the pump will come on and pump the pressure up in the line with all water flow shut off in your house and it will pump up to 60 lbs and the pump will shut off then wihen you use the water the pressure will start droping and when it gets to 40 lbs the pump will come on and pump up to 60 lbs and the pump will shut off. There are two different kinds of these switches the one I just described and the one that ends in 24M4CP. This one works the same but if the pressure goes below the 40 lbs it dosen't keep pumping it shuts the pump off. You have to manually reset it with the little lever on the switch. The advantage to this one is if you pump your well dry the pressure will go below 40 and the pump will shut off and save your pump from burning up. The bad part is (Like with me, )Our power goes off in the winter a lot in snow storms and if its off long enough to loose pressure I have to walk up in the cold and snow to the well house and manually turn the pump back on. Both of these switches look the same except the on has a little lever sticking out the side of the switch for the reset. You should also have a pressure tank also in parallel with the main line and it works like a capacitor to smooth out the pressure drops. Hope this helps

Its an amazing pump but I would not recommend it be used in conjunction with a tank less heater, these heater require a minimum of .5 gals per min. to activate so it wont work.

I think with some hose connection changes you could make it happen if the parts are available. I have not checked into it. The heater is designed to have one of the small bottles screwed right into the swivel connector. Sorry I couldn't help more. I wanted the heater as portable as possible so wasn't interested in lugging around a 20# LP tank. Small tanks last around 4 hours under a constant usage state.

we have several of these pumps and although it is possible to draw some oil from a system during any 400 to 600 micron system we consider this the best pump we have used. The pump has oil, the system has oil so oil can be an issue. I suggest you review your hookup and operational process before going further. Also the longer the hoses the more oil can be extracted from the system during evacuation. Lesser CFM pumps never pull hard enough to be problematic. We never use more than a 7 cfm model because of this situation. You could have a problem. We suggest you speak with a Yellow Jacket factory rep. we have several of these pumps and although it is possible to draw some oil from a system during any 400 to 600 micron system we consider this the best pump we have used.

When I installed my unit I wondered the same thing. I called the distributor and asked what the gas requirements were and then called my HVAC man and told him the requirements. He had me call the gas company to verify that my current meter would provide adequate gas for my current needs plus the generator. The meter was adequate, the pipe from the meter to my generator (about 25 feet) needed to be 1 inch and I needed a special stainless braided line connector. The BBQ hose was not nearly large enough. The proper hose cost over $100.00 for an 18 inch length. It was a lot of trouble and expense but I know that the generator will work when I need it, even if the furnace and hot water heater are also running.

We attached our discharge hose to 2" PVC and routed it to our 1500 gal water tank. Works great. At least one Discharge hose first, of a length of your choosing, then PVC- will give you room to shift the pump as necessary.

There is a sleeve on the heater end of the hose that must be pulled back. This allows the ball bearings inside the sleeve to retract so that the coupler can mate with the heater fitting.

Hello Michael, I thought it necessary to let you know that after using the Mr. Htr Quick disconnect hose with only a one stage regulator on it has become a problem. My Mr. Htr Big Buddy went crazy. I do believe that if it were not for a Higher Power, I could have been in a bad way, or had a bad fire. Now, I'm still using a 100# propane tank on my Mr. Htr Big Buddy with the same hose, but I had to buy another regulator. And yes, the regulator is a two stage regulator and I got it from Lowes. I truly hope all is well with you and that the same Higher Power has covered you with protection and blessings. I would love to hear from you in reply to this note to know that all is well with you.

No. I had to hire a plumber to run a separate line From my natural gas source. He also made me a selperate line from the generator to the gas hook up. This generator needs a specific amount of PSI to do the job right. Hire a licensed plumber to do the job right ,for the safety of your family. having said that,I am extremely pleased with the generator. I finally have peace of mind !
