Marty,
Did notice a bit of resistance pushing through vert. tubes. Got through OK, and just push hose from shop vac down to bottom. Don't hear any big chunks being sucked up.
The tool you fabbed up, hydraulic hose is stiff enough to chuck up and turn with a drill? I guess a dumb question as your doing it....
I'll whip one up, of both sizes, as it probably saves on the hands a good bit and does a bang-up job! Good idear!
Been hanging in there with the 6 deg diff setting. As you said, really a 7 deg diff as 174-180. Don't see any condensation, only maybe a little in the front from time to time. Right front, and it makes me think of a small leak??
Have noticed I do need to add perhaps, 2-3 gallon a make up water once every week-10 days or so. Wondering if you all ever had to add any? As stated, I do see a bit of blackish water near right front leg of unit. Fairly sure it's just condesation. Then, again with my luck, maybe I got a problem?
