One Or Dual Line, Or Single In-double Out? Is A Pressure Regulator Needed? Thanks Alot Bd

[Daytona100]

Looking at the instructions its showing one in and one out.

this one is one in and one out. Its going in a jet boat would a pressure regulator be nessesary???

Mine run 1 #10 in and 1 #10 out. The pick-ups are located at the rear of the hull and simply "scoop" water as the boat moves. No pump needed, hence no regulator.

Do you run a strainer or any kind of filter?

I do not. I usually just backflush it with the garden hose when I'm washing the boat. I've never really seen anything come out of it. Just a habbit I guess.

My 2c. tough to admit but, I read the instructions for my Super Chiller and they state to use a -12 in and two -10's out.This keeps back pressure to minimum. The offshore guys are using sea strainers with pressure relef valve installed on them. I did as Super Chiller suggested after seeing the small but effective O-rings that seal the cooler ends. I also installed a 1" fresh water "screen" on the pickup side an I have caught some lake junk from getting to the intercooler this way.

Do you have any pics or info on your fresh water screen. I was thinking about doing the same thing but cant seem to find a inline filter anywhere. Also are you running any kind of regulator?

100, Might sound corny but I bought mine at Westmarine. I am looking in there catalog and only come up with a 3/4" screen pt# 124297 Jabsco brand. I got mine last year, mabey they discontinued the 1". Right or wrong, I'm not using a regulator, 2 -10's out did the trick to keep back pressure to a min. I think the offshore guys use the regs, in case the boat comes out of the water and reenters hard, to keep from jamming a s#@t load of pressure to the cooler.

Thank you for the info.:idea:

A regulator is a good idea if the rig is capable of 75 mph or so. Install a gauge on the inlet side (right at the cooler inlet) temporarily and see what the pressure is. If its under 25 lbs or so, don't worry about it. If higher, think about the dump regulator, or add a second outlet line. TIMINATOR
