Hey Packet,
We're did you get your PEX tubing from, PEX supply? What kind? I don't want to buy a 100' roll, but that's the only way it comes.
Going to be getting started on my build soon. Aluminum 2" square tubing 3/16"' and plates 3/16". The cart alone, not counting casters is going to be close to $800 before I pay for the welding and cutting.
Conicals I priced at pretty close to 1k with all the modifications
The rest of the stuff probably easily another 1k probably more. I added up almost 900 for enclosure and everything else (incl PEX tools, but no other tools), except for all the electronic guts that go into the control panel.
For some reason, I cannot get the website plastic conical controller part 2 to display anything but the list of parts. Where can I learn how to wire up everything and what SSR and what not I'm going to need?
I imagine that the controller is a few hundred bucks for all the parts, so this is looking like a decent 3-4k project.
A good friend has a paint shop and can do all the panel cutting and painting for me, perhaps for just cost.
I should be able to handle all the wiring and plumbing myself.
How difficult was it to wrap the PEX tubing with insulation? Would PVC be a less expensive option or was there a particular reason for using the PEX?
Thanks
TD
