@HiroProtagonist I remember that image as the book cover art for Harlan Ellison's "The Glass Teat" https://www.amazon.com/Glass-Teat-Harlan-Ellison/dp/0441289886

@eriner @DavidB I have used Fusion360 and its relatively easy to use. It does have OS minimum requirements. (Which is why I am not currenly using it.) It is from AutoDesk and they are pushing the "subscribe" model. The limited free version is here: https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal

@eriner Are you using the free web version of SketchUp? This is what I have been using to "design" my projects (well house, shelves for a metal building, deck).Like the free version of Fusion360, they make it hard to find https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal.I have been using FreeCAD for flat (2D) drawings but its a pain in the ass. :(I miss my old (2D) AutoCAD!

@Centerfinger @cjd I know I coming in on this late but something is not adding up for me. The spec sheet on the control says 1/20 to 1/8th horsepower (HP) motor and the motor name plate says 1.5HP. Give the questions Centerfinger is asking, my recommendation is he find/hire someone with experience in these things. Electricity can kill and it will hurt the whole time.

@cjd CJD, not trying to get into an argument with you. What kills you is current flowing thru your body. A live chassis is just one way. The questions @Centerfinger is asking and the information he is providing indicate he is in over his head. Not my house not me life. He is free to do what he wants.

@cjd @Centerfinger I'm a DIYer and do lots of things that a "professional" should be doing. I am also happy to provide advice/perspective. Asking about adding a DC breaker for a 180V DC motor to 240V subpanel set off alarm bells for me. I have a close friend who is all thumbs, I would never recommend he do any electrical work himself. On the other hand, I have coached his brother thru things. Unfortunately on the Internet we really don't know the ability of the other person.

@Centerfinger @cjd Centerfinger, No, it's not that difficult if you've do it before. Do you have a friend that's done electrical work before that could help you do it? The controller is probable OK if it's been working for years. It's just the spec sheet screenshot from your phone is off by a factor of 10. Probably the wrong spec sheet.Be careful and Good luck

@eriner Yeah those factory drain valves suck. For folks that don't know, "full port" means that the valve opening is the same size as the pipe so it will not restrict the flow. A "ball" fully opens/close in a quarter turn.Watch out for "G" (BSSP) threads that are straight. China loves putting them on stuff.

@eriner Have you run across SupplyHouse? https://www.supplyhouse.com/PEX-Plumbing-515000They have decent prices on some thinks (but not everything). I've been remodeling and slowly moving everything over the PEX-A. They are proud of manifolds.

@eriner Started researching what I wanted to use and ran into the same issue. What did you end up using for a manifold?Thinking of the Viega MiniBloc manifold if I can find out if they use standard threads. Just get my own PEX-A threaded adapters....
