Well. I caved and added a swirl to my system today. Everything works well and there definitely is less stress on the low pressure pump. I'm glad I did this...

Very impressive Tony. Now you have to explain the plumbing and all the functions of that "swirl" tank.

You are way ahead of me on this one Tony.

I helped with the surge box in The Beast, but that was not near as complicated as a "swirl" system you built (from scratch). And I must say your fabrication skills, as displayed on your DSR and 914-8 are exceptional.

I did find some good documentation on how swirl system work, but not sure if this is the same as what you've built. Anyway, Google again proves to be your friend:

Interesting stuff - I may need to take a crack at this sometime as well. I have had some mild starvation sometimes at low cell levels and I do the same thing where I only fill 4-6 gals for a 20-30 min session.
