  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
O.k I got the piece in the mail! (Thanks Li!!) Ans I'm gonna try to get both to work today. I have been running the filter, kind of by luck. It took forever to establish the proper length of tubing. It is from ace and sucks ass! The intake collapses under the pressure. I was wondering,....If I were to take the good hose off the good filter (the output hose the the spray bar is attached to) And swap them out. The output seems to be just fine its the intake that is the key. Here are some photos.

Do you guys think it'll work? You can see in the pic how the hose is way to plyable and collapses. The machine was bogging down but after a few hours trying diff lengths and types of hose. I found putting the hose strait in the water fabricated with an extra ac 110 extetion. Was the best way to get max intake, with the collapse it BARELY works........
 
o.k I'm done it works great no bogging nothing....Thanks to everyone who helped...This matter is a done deal!!!! Thx neo for the part!!!

Go to home depot and get this instead of the ace hardware tubing. It WILL not collapse at all.

Watts brand 10 feet, 7/8" OD, 5/8" ID clear vinyl tubing ($10)

Where the heck where ya??jjk! I will go grab some. I tried 4 diff types.....Either collapsed or were too stiff, and caused a vortex at the top thus loosing prime. It is running great, but nice to know so I can "tinker" at my own leasure! Thx for the tip.
