Caribbean Jake December 30, 2004 Share December 30, 2004 Howard If is not too late please put me down for 4 topoff switches then, at $6 each is a great deal. Also, if there is time I will take two boards instead of one originally requested. If I'm late let me know, then keep me as originally requested with one full set up. The building party is still on Jan 9 ? what time is everyone interested in gathering? Thanks Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardofNOVA December 30, 2004 Share December 30, 2004 Jacob, Got you down, Anyone else, remembering that Stephen has already purchased equipment for 20 boards and now we only at 15? Anyone else? In case your coming late and not sure, I hope I understand this, if not, it was Chips fault! wndr The PCB will control the first Flowswitch (FS) and if it fails will kick in the second FS into shutting down the power to end any future problems! Did I state that right? Krish, Doug or Stephen, You 3 technically sound on getting the cheaper setup from the Ebay Chinese Gent? Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchild December 31, 2004 Author Share December 31, 2004 I'm Steven! ph is something I measure in my tank :D I have only purchased 20 PCBs, not the components for them - I will purchase components tomorrow in the quantity listed here. I will NOT need any float switches. I think the Chinese Gent sounds fine. Howard, you may have adjusted Doug wrong as he is in your list as 0 switches, 1 PCB, when he wanted 2 switches and 0 PCBs?

krish December 31, 2004 Share December 31, 2004 Howard, The chinese gent sounds fine, given that he has sold to umpteen folks on ebay. On the modus operandii, the 2 float switches are connected back-to-back ( in series). If the lower one gets stuck and keeps the circuit closed, water will flow in until the one higher touches water and disconnects the circuit. -krish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerseller December 31, 2004 Share December 31, 2004 And this is all fine unless the initial pumping in starts a siphon, then it flows until it's either equal or empty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchild December 31, 2004 Author Share December 31, 2004 Excellent point! The output of the hose (where FW flows into the tank) must be above water. I have ordered components for 15 kits, $13 each for board/components will cover it. I got a couple extras of everything except the transformers (since that is half the price). Jameco claims same-day shipping before so it should be here in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartco January 1, 2005 Share January 1, 2005 Howard, I appreciate you totaling, but NO PCB = no boards!!!! I am only looking for the 2 floatswitches ($6 thingies that you are calling topoffs). Not the boards! Please don't include me in the pcb order/board order/whatever that thing is with copper lines, solder, and those little components with colored lines and numbers on it.

flowerseller January 1, 2005 Share January 1, 2005 Doug, What if they can find some solderless, non copper lines and those components without colored lines or numbers on them, would you want them then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctreptow January 2, 2005 Share January 2, 2005 Ok I've been following this thread and since my feeding pumps can't seem to keep up with evaporation if there is still room in this group I would like to join. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchild January 2, 2005 Author Share January 2, 2005 Looks fine for you Chris - if you take one, we'll still total 15 boards which is how many components I've ordered. You'll have to check with Howard on the float switches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctreptow January 2, 2005 Share January 2, 2005 Great Thanks I do have 2 float switches if we are short there. Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Jake January 4, 2005 Share January 4, 2005 Howard [tu] I think is a good price and maybe a good web site. Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardofNOVA January 4, 2005 Share January 4, 2005 Folks the Topsoffs are ordered and being shipped today. Hopefully will have in my hands by Sat. and we can meet this Sunday at Jacobs! I got them from the Canadian Aquatics @ $4.99 each and got them to eat shipping cost for 30 units. See you guys Sunday at Jacobs! Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchild January 5, 2005 Author Share January 5, 2005 Components are shipped via UPS Ground, they tell me that can take up to 5 business days, with today being the first... so I should get them by Friday. I've got the boards, so we're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchild January 5, 2005 Author Share January 5, 2005 Oops.. this thing may be off. Now UPS tracking is telling me it has a scheduled delivery date of Jan 10. I'm sorry guys, any chance we could move this back a week? It was supposed to be 5-day shipping, and I made the same-day deadline last Friday. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartco January 6, 2005 Share January 6, 2005 I can get whatever parts and irons to give to someone next week if this does not happen Sun. I was hoping to see Jake's setup too. But alas, I will be playing Shadow Creek in Vegas next weekend. I will have a beer for you guys while out on the course though! Krish might be the closest to drop off to (as I think he wanted some of these extra power supplies I have anyway). Krish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctreptow January 6, 2005 Share January 6, 2005 Next week is fine too.. Oh Doug I feel so sorry for you :D. I can pickup the irons from you Doug if needed. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctreptow January 6, 2005 Share January 6, 2005 Well I must revise... Next week is no good for me I have to go to NJ... It's not going to be as fun as golf in LV... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Jake January 6, 2005 Share January 6, 2005 Ok, based on shipping logistics the building party date will be moved to Saturday 1/15 or Sunday 1/16. Stay tuned for further information. Guys !!! let me know when the parts arrive so we can set a date for the party depending on when my beloved Steelers are playing of course.

HowardofNOVA January 6, 2005 Share January 6, 2005 GO STEELERS!!!! OK, Guys the topoffs shipped yesterday by "Canada Post"? I'm not so sure we will see them by Sat, probably will be during the week. I will know by this weekend, if I'm starting a 1900 sq. ft. basement renovation that will take me 3 weekends of 10-12 hrs a day, ouch....playoffs! Question, how long does it take to build the units? Any chance we can do this afterwork or we need just too much time? Being a late owl, I'll ask, feel free to shoot me BTW, I order 30 units and believe we only need 28 now, if someone else needs 2 topoffs ($5 each) plus I believe Steven has 5 PCB parts ($13 each) left over correct? Oops, Chip already paid for his two topoffs, all 30 are now accounted for. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardofNOVA January 6, 2005 Share January 6, 2005 One last thing, IF the topoffs come by Sat. and IF the components come in by SAT., would everyone be still able to make it for Sunday? I don't have weekend access to the internet, but by around 4pm, everyone should check the website for last and final on the parts delivery status if that is ok? Just in case they all come in, we will have a game plan to finish this up. I call someone to post if the topoffs arrive? Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
