Res or fill and bleed?
 
I'm trying to decide if I should include a res in my setup or not. I have VERY little room to work with, so it would be a small res, and as I understand it, the smaller it is, the lower the water flow. Are there any suggestions as to how to make a nice fill and bleed kit? Something that's easy and will work with my 1/2"ID setup is what I need...

Any suggestions would help greatly...

Two short T-lines with a short section of tubing between. During normal operation they are capped/plugged. For filling, pull the plugs and connect a length of tubing from each to a reservoir, then clamp the bit of tubing between the T's.

Not quite an actual fill-n-bleed, but ought do the trick. :shrug:

Yeah, this is what I'm planning on doing I think. But, why two of them?

One is just the standard T-line. A pain to fill and slow to bleed, but compact and easy to make.

Two is a poor-man's fill and bleed. A little more work to make and takes up a little more room, but with the temporary hook up to a res/bucket/whatever it will bleed in minutes (not hours) and be easier to fill/drain.
