Would it be possible to install a small break tank affair with vortex plate and accessories, join it to the other tanks, and conceptualize the other tanks as "the rest of the volume of a irregularly shaped tank?
If it is possible, thru the use of drain outlets or extra plugged outlets, to oversize the connection pipes from min diameter reqd for the pump suction, a case could be made that the draw from the new small tank provides the necessary vortex plate and other accessories and the level switch will certainly monitor the entire affair, water seeks its own level. That, and Ed's brainstorm of some floor hatches in the kitchen floor could save a bundle of money and a lot of time/headaches, etc. George Church Rowe Sprinkler -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allan Seidel Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 11:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: retrofitting suction tank My 2 cents. A new access added to the front seems like what should have been done in the first place -- unless you can do something crazy like temporarily rotate the tank so the that the top man-way is at 3 o'clock. Fixing it without making a real access leaves the owner with one of the original problems. Sooner or later they'll need to get into the tank for some work _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum
