[spfx: drum roll]
I started the test at about 1.30pm yesterday with a shade over 75psi and today at 8.30pm (30 hour time lapse) the pressure is at 71psi. I’m hoping the drop is due to colder temperatures than yesterday and pipe expansion. I’ll leave the system like this over the next few days and monitor. Fingers crossed.
I did mean to put a clock behind the gauge but I forgot so the video doesn’t have many moving parts!
P.S. We have our inspection this Friday so really hoping we get the thumbs up.
Updates
- Nov 1st update. 70 psi (52 hour time lapse). Still putting this down to colder temperatures.
- Nov 2nd update. 69 psi (58 hour time lapse). Maybe we do have a slow leak. I’ll spray all the connectors with soapy water tomorrow.
- Nov 3rd update. 65 psi (80 hour time lapse). Sprayed all the connections with soapy water and found one tiny leak so tighten up that one connector and charged the system to 80 psi.
- Nov 4th update. 78 – 79 psi (104 hour time lapse) which for now I’ll put down to pipe expansion.
- Nov 5th update. 78 – 79 psi (138 hour time lapse) hopefully holding steady.
Good luck, lots of hard work and it seems good!
Thats Jim and yes we are trying to do the best we can 🙂 Send Dee our love.
Do you have one on paint drying, or is that one still to come?
Ha ha yes I was thinking it’s similar to paint drying!!!
Love it Ian, yes that could be as interesting.
4psi must expansion etc. Good luck for Friday 🤞🏼
Interesting, not!!! Will let you know how it goes!
