    Hello GC!
     
    I found some switches online which have the capability of shutting a pump off once it reaches a certain hg level, and which turn it back on when it drops to a certain hg level.  I would like to get such a device for my pump, but I am not sure how it would install...most seem like I would have to rewire something (which I rather not do if I don't have to).  
     
    This seems like it would save some life for the pump itself since it would not have to sit there pumping a constant pressure non stop..?
     
     
    Just wondering if anyone has any experience/ideas/advice about this &/or installing the switch?
     
     

     
  2. This would be very unnecessary, FYI
     
  3.  
    Please explain your reasoning...?

    I make oil quite often and have lots of experience with running/purging lots of material and let me tell you, there is no need for what you explained.
     
    Explain your reasoning for wanting that
     
  5. well it would cut down the running time and thus cut down exhaust (one of my goals).
