I am happy to say that my system is no longer losing water. On Friday I took the system completely apart. Check and recheck every fitting. Now here is where I do believe my problem had been. On my T line I had a plastic barb with a ¾” pipe thread. I used a plastic cap and always-just hand tighten the cap. Yes I used Teflon tape. At 6’-4” and 285 lbs. I can tighten stuff really well. On Saturday I decided to use two Channel Lock pliers and proceeded to bottom out the cap and I can gladly say I have not lost any water now in 16 hours. Before I would lose about a ½” of water in the T line and I could smell the Water Wetter in this time frame.

Glad I found this problem as I have a new Epox 8K3a+/Samsung Memory/XP-2000 on the way.
Interesting. Then maybe these plastic Danger Den (don't know the specific name of these clmaps) are not adequate. Did you mention where I can get the tool installed type band clamps you are using?

Hi Jim, here is a photo of my kit. I bet if you were to purchase a tool for nipping tile it would do the same thing. Even Klein Tools has something that looks like this. You being a contractor you know of Klein Tools.

The tool opens evenly across the blade. All it does is press the clamp together. You cannot use side cutters or lineman’s because they do not open evenly

Jim, when I had the system down I decided to install a solid-state relay to turn on and off the pump. I came across 24 of these relays and they are small and all are single pole. I placed them for sale in the appropriate forum at this site.

Yeah, those are "end cutting" pliers got 'em! Where can I get those clamps?
Jim
P.S. I saw those relays on amdmb, good deal in my opinion.

Our local Ace Hardware has them. The kit came from McMaster Carr.

Considering that these relays are about $35.00 ea. new and they have very little time on them. I just do not need all of them. At $10.00 ea. plus shipping they are a good buy.

Just checked my water has continued to stay at the line I had placed on the tubing.
