Nice looking rig! I guess you'll be testing and tuning for awhile before real results?
Looks like the sort of thing that's going to take awhile to get to base pressure -- all those warts and surface area. I'd guess you don't open this up real often once it's working? I know I keep my main system pumping at all times here unless I have to get in there to fix something, and even that takes a goodly while to get near its base pressure. Been pumping mine for about 12 hours since I had it open 1/2 hour this AM and it's still not there, but will probably be when I get up tomorrow. Only baked it for about 5-6 hours today, those heaters really eat the power, and when the sun goes down, so do things like that!
