It s a bladder tank with ambient pressure at 20 psi. My static water pressure is 55 psi. I have a gauge on is, so when i charge it, it holds at 55. When i release the water, it drops almost immediately to 25psi, then bleeds down to zero over about 4-5 minutes. I had to play with it a while to get a balance between pressure at the heads and run time.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.

That's a really cool system...

I'm also inspired by the bunks on our trailer.... I have an older ez-loader trailer with rollers that keep breaking off. I recently bought some raw timber (6 year, indoor dried white oak... 2" thick -- actual thickness by about 14" high) and I'm planning to convert from rollers to bunks. If you have more photos of your bunks, they could be very helpful. I also bought some marine grade carpet to cover just the tops of the bunks, and maybe 1" down each side. I have SS staples and a stapler gun, and I cut the edge of the wood to the correct angle so that they approximate the angle of the hull)...

Well, not to hi-jack your thread ( I guess I'lll start my own!)... but thought I'd give feedback. I think you're rinse system is super-cool!
