Yeah, I read that one minute start-ups are hard on the pump. The 6800 pump is built to run constantly. I am not sure what the role of the accumulator is, except to maintain pressure somewhere, somehow. That is why I started this thread, to learn stuff like that.
I was thinking about running two solenoids. One default open and one default closed. I would put a T on the line coming out of the pump. One line on the T would run back to the reservoir. This line would be default open. The other line that goes to the sprayers would be default closed. That way the pump could run continually and the solution would just go back into the reservoir. When the timer came on, the line going to the reservoir would close, and the line going to the sprayers would open, thus diverting the solution to the sprayers. When the timer went off, the line going to the sprayers would close, and the line going to the reservoir would open. This would allow me to have the pump running continually.
What do you think of this idea? I think I read it on a fatman thread a while back.
