I love my sodastream and we just drink a lot of soda water without flavorings but my main beef is with the bottles not being able to run through the dishwasher. Have you tried carbonating these yet? What psi are you using? The soda carbonators we use at the restaurant run at 120psi and the beer taps 6psi

Probably too late but I keep a few spares at the restaurant (ice machine) and your welcome to one. You can also just stack 2 10" for a sedi filter, I have done this in the past and it works just fine.

I never had any issues with the water stuck inside the heater manifold and super heating the water. Even if it did happen, PVC can be boiled and not melt so there is limited risk. I had a bunch of heaters and I used the thermostats on the heaters themselves as a first line of defense. I also had the heaters on a Ranco. Then I had two separate temp sensors from my ACIII than monitored tank temp and sump temp (sump was outside). Then I had a solenoid valve 2" that would shut down the flow from my sump to the tank based off the sump temperature and redirect it back through the heating-cooling-sump closed loop. All that being far more complicated than the avg person is going to setup but none the less, it worked for me quite well. The gland holders inside 2" PVC manifold is not new nor was it my original idea. It is Current UV's design for the UV units they sell (sold?). I copied it pretty much exactly, except instead of bulbs inside of quartz sleeves I installed nichrome inside of pyrex That manifold design I am 99.9% confident in and would be a great DIY for someone. The 00.1% risk is simply not worth the liability for it to be produced by AVAST. Maybe someone like Finnex and Won Brothers are more comfortable with those odds though Ebo is the only heater I will ever use or suggest any one else use. Although I have a feeling Justin is going to try and talk me into making some solid state $300 heater around this time next year, so I guess never say never......

Gotcha. Text me that picture in the morning then and I will try and get right back to you so you can get it finished up.

Did you send it everywhere at once? lol I replied to your pm.

I am pretty sure Paul B keeps his inside the tank.

Just because your not in Florida doesn't make you safe: http://www.nbc12.com/story/18907936/12-investigates-brain-eating-amoeba

I actually only have one right now anyways but ya'll can pass it around. I usually go through about 4 a year so I will just remember that they would be welcomed freebies here

I use 120 tooth Tenryu blades with a ATAFR grind specifically designed for cutting acrylic sheet and tube. When they start to dull I throw em in a pile until I get tired of looking at them, then I throw them away. If you can use a 10" blade I am sure I have one laying around and while it is dull by my standards it is still going to cut better than anything home depot sells. Let me know and I can bring it to the social. http://www.tenryusawblades.com/proddetail.php?prod=74-226

AND the rebate! This initial release is VERY limited quantities.

http://www.avastmarine.com/ssc/do/product/captains/The-Vibe For a very limited time we are going to offer a $50 gift certificate rebate on this item for anyone who post a 2 minute long video review/unboxing/etc on youtube and sends us a link. This offer is valid on Vibes purchased between now and 10/31/2013

Your talking to the wrong Captain He is working on it though.....

I don't want to say the exact frequency we are using as it is one of those silly "trade secrets" but we are pretty substantially out of the ultrasonic range and there is zero risk associated with using the device. If you need a more accurate description feel free to PM me and I can disclose more. As for retrofit options, yes. Not today but withing the next few months it will be an option.

Geeeez, tough crowd! We have kept this under wraps for a while since a good portion of the industry looks at what we do as a means of their own R&D. Plus we had to plan, test, source, test blah blah blah before we could say we were ready and then had to actually build a small production run before we could accurately price it, then test it again. Plus, we have to allow a pretty long time to think up all these clever names, you try it, it ain't easy

The offer is valid no matter who owns it

pettyrd, A quick search shows that you got this 3rd hand. If you want to bring it to the social I would be happy to take a look at everything to make sure it is operating to it's full potential. We can also go over settings and optimal tuning in person if you like.

I think Rob has put together more Cs1's than me at this point!

Hi Tony, The cup and twist lock were hand built in 2007 for that skimmer. The cost to reproduce the missing parts will exceed the $179 of a CS1 kit which is a better skimmer. The pump is no problem as I have 1262's on the shelf for replacement parts or the psk1000 can be easily retrofitted to the body. The missing parts can be reproduced if your interested, although I think money would be better spent on a new and complete skimmer.

The uniseals are watertight so don't worry about those. Glue base and flange as well as all the piping. The input nipple can be tapped to 1/2" npt and use a threaded fitting. The threaded studs that hold the bubble chamber need to be sealed and glue the bubble chamber instead. Switch out out gate valve with a standard one.

Do you recall if your power supply came in a little white box or a plastic bag?

I do like the idea of blaming Tom though.......

Alan, You didn't swap power supplies, it looks like we accidentally packed the incorrect one with your order. Yours says .5A and the correct one is 1A. I emailed you so we can correct the problem.

How could you miss this, you were the one who helped me calculate the power requirements

You have a bad power supply. It is not delivering enough current to power the start up of the pump. When you submerge the sensor it charges the caps inside the power supply, then lift it to activate the cycle and the caps now have enough reserve to start motor. Since the nature of this device requires instantaneous start up current full load has to be available at the beginning of the cycle or the motor wont start as you are observing.
