durso stand ballcock idea

[bueller]

Just thought I'd share this with everyone that use's a Durso stand.
Well, I kept on having problems with the water level in my over flo,
I drilled all different size holes in the cap and when i Finally got the water level where I wanted...2 to 3 days later it would drop [from salt build up ]

I decided to drill a 3/8 hole and connect a 3/8 ballcock and it works AWESOME all I do now is pour a little RO/DI water down the open end of the ballcock every few weeks too keep the opening clear. Plus it's very easy to fine tune it to get the water level where you want. Hope it help's anyone having a problem with the water level.

Wingo, with the dursos you have to have the right sized hole on the top to let in the right amount of air for it to operate efficiantly and silently. Too much air and the level rises and too little air it will gurgle.

The above lets you regulate the air intake accurately and allows for adjustments.

here's a durso. on #10(end cap) you make a hole @ the top and then add ballcock. try saying that word w/ a straight face. :biglaugh:
