* I'd like to see your "recirculating" standpipe Andy, could you send an image to staniforthjim?yahoo?com removing the questionable bits and replacing with the usual? I'll try to remember to send it this evening. If you don't receive it drop me an email using the "reply to author". My profle email is valid. The only picture I have may not show all the details and the system is long gone. The basic idea was was as follows. I had a 50 gallon tank in the bed of my Malibu station wagon. A marine bilge pump fed the water to the base of a 2 (?) inch pvc stand pipe that located on the hinge line of the tail gate. The base of the stand pipe had 2 ports - the inlet, and the outlet to the glider fill hose. The top of the pipe located on the tailgate glass latch pin. About 3 inches from the top of the standpipe was a T fitting and a pipe fed from that T back to the top of the ballast tank. The recirculating stand pipe will only work with a tank system. For use off a faucet I had intended to design a stand pipe with a header tank and float valve but never needed it and never built it. Andy |
