Franko's Brewstand Construction

[Franko]

Absolutely excellent Franko old son. :super:
Been a long time in the making & glad to know your back is on the mend.
Those kegs look brand new to me (Lucky sod ) & it appears that you have mounted your pump so that the inlet is slightly below the outlet? Is this correct?

TP

Thanks TP
The inlet is indeed a little lower but thats just the way it is with the pump mounted vertically

 

[Franko]

will do mate

Then you've landed on your feet Franko as current wisdom dictates that you need to have the inlet lower than the outlet in order to avoid trapped air bubbles from preventing\impeding recirculation through the pump.

I must stress that although I have lost prime at times (Mostly due to my own inattention of things happening) my inlet is on the top.
BUT to conform with proven March pump standards I will be shifting my inlet to the bottom as soon as I get more silicon hose to facilitate the move.

Edit --- Forgot to mention. --- Get Pumpy, Hogan & yourself up here for the Kin Kin pissup.
