wow, looks tuff. Is that a 3" cylinder? Hope you got a pump to run it and keep decent cycle times. I then hope you have a motor to turn the pump.

With that 27HP Kawi you shouldnt have any problem moving the pump.


That is what I am hoping for!!! I was going to go with the 16gpm single, but was told it wasn't a good idea!?!

You might want a 28GPM you have the power to push it.


That is what I am going with now, a 28gpm 2 stage, I was going to go with the 16gpm single stage until I was talked out of it.

Make sure you get a high enough flow valve with 3/4" ports otherwise you will be defeating pump.And a large resevoir.
 
I hbave an 18 gallon res. to use, the valves, well................... I have two set now, one set has 5/8" port openings (thread size). The other set, I have never seen anything like them before!!!!!!!!!!! 1 1/2 feed 7/8" ports. Methinks that is overkill, but the others seem a little small?

Want pics?
 
looks like you have a 2 spool and a single spool.The single appears to be a running as some type of priority off the 2 spool. Take it to the car wash LOL
 
Ok, car wash and the reseal kit I have for the twin spool, that I can split for a single, but which do I use? Oversize? Or questionable?
