I used to supply off the return line, but flow rate never seemed reliable, and I'm afraid gravity won't give enough flow if there is too much resistance. Does anyone use the Aqua Lifter pump?

anyone?

How are you supplying water to your calcium reactor?

How much would you charge for something like this?

Why would you rewire the whole panel??? Just an idea if I was to update more than just this one or two circuits. I guess it's not such a good idea. I will see how easy it will be to find new breakers for this panel and if it is hard/expensive, then I will try the piggy back option to a sub panel.

That part is light electrical. Installing and rewiring an entire panel is out of that relm!

I know a handyman that I may have help out with some labor intensive stuff because I have 5 days to set up my in wall 240 and move everything over, plus paint walls and other misc. stuff before I start work. He charges $15 an hour, which I think is a steal. What's too bad is he only does...

Does anyone know if I might be able to get those breakers? Can the current circuits handle adding the track lighting? At $1200, I think I would pass. Obviously, I can always get an estimate, no harm. I'm just can't do that until the middle/end of the month because I don't move in until then!

Any idea on how hard it might be to find breakers for this panel? The panel is from 1977 and the last time they added a breaker was for the hot tub and was about 8 years ago. Is it worth it to put a new panel in and have everything rewired with new breakers? Any thoughts?

so by having 2 of the piggy back circuits you have 4 separate circuits, but it only takes up 2 circuit spaces thus saving you room in the box. I seems like I have extra spaces below, so I would not even need the piggy back circuits.

Yes each of the 20 amp switches is it's own separate circuit So that would mean I have 320 amps on this 100 amp panel?

Ok, going to try better pic once more.

As I'm looking at the pics, they are pretty bad quality. First thing is the bottom black circuit is not 50 as I said in last post, but 30. The green ones are 30, red are 20, and blue are 15.
