Dave Welch's RCABS-R WTC video
Finally got some video. Late in the day so it's kind of dark. The WTC worked perfectly. No leaks no problems and I ran the system for over two hours on a 5 cell 1500 mah nicad pack. It never did run down before I stopped.
I went very deep too. My pool is about 7 foot deep. I could sit down there for ever and not a drop. Also if I walked away from the boat to go get a cup of tea after several minutes enough air would leak back into the bladder and she'd be floating at the surface. A natural fail safe and you don't need a chicken trim. You will notice that I sit at the bottom and come up a bit and back down. This was done by bumping the pump bit by bit. It's not just open and close.
The only problem is that I need to mount the WTC back further than it is. You can see she acts tail heavy. I will correct that but over all real good. and no APC. I did get another one from Skip today and I will install it of course.
I wish that I could opener her up but in my pool that would be hard. Too small.
Next to get to that lake and let her rip.
Dave you have done a fantastic job my friend and my hat is of to you. This is one great ready to run WTC!!!!
