Re: elec
I believe that is MC not romex. But hard to tell it might be flexable conduit.Originally posted by boilergod

Yeah, it's code. We hired an electrician to do it. If you couldn't tell from the pics, it's in the garage. You shoulda seen how the old one was wired.

You like the Dynamic air cleaner? We tried them, have dozens out there but got tired of complaints about performance from customers. Also found them restrictive on marginal duct systems and I got tired of replacing power supplies. Still good money selling media though.

The jury's still out on that one, Loonie. We've only installed a few of them, & there have been no complaints yet.

So do you have to remove the MC to get the door off? I've seen much cleaner electric installs.

The important panel is the bottom panel where all the controls are. But good point for the upper panel.

Get's an A from me.
How did you tie-in inlet and outlet water,do you have pete's plugs to check temperature drop on exchanger.
I'm not real assured on those filters either, 1.225% restriction right out of the box.
Clean install but, can't see pumps , is this on vertical or pond,or well."Everyday above ground, is a good day".
"But everyday that you have made a difference in someones life, may insure you stay above ground a little longer".<aircooled>

No on the tie-ins, but I didn't know about them either. I'll do it on the next one if there is a next one.
As I posted before, the jury's still out on 'em for us; we'll see.
And the pump is also in the garage, is practically brand new & is pumping water from a shallow well.WHY?
