Okay, re-piping head with new holding tank. The new tank is 2' taller so the top "inlet" fitting is now higher. One rule of being a plumber, at least on land, is that "stuff" doesn't go up hill. The discharge connection on the head pump is lower than the inlet to the holding tank so I was wondering if connecting the head to a T at the lower fitting would work.
In theory with the pump out cap in place the head will pump into the tank. Then when it gets pumped out the head pump (PHEII manual pump in down position) would act as a closed valve.
As usual any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Oh by the way it just goes against the grain with me to have the pipe to the tank going up hill.
Also the new tank, stock, only has a 1/2" vent so all plans to follow Peggy's recommendation of 1" vent are out unless I can use the top 1 1/2" fitting for a vent. Oh yeah!
