Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Smart! Just don't drop one in and forget about it...
Just got our new dip tank and I had to make changes to it before even using it :-) Wasn't to keen on the hold down rods so I whipped up some weights to hold each screen in place. Had some aluminum channel around, fastened some lead strips to them (3lbs does the job) and now I have one for each screen. Maybe it's just because I haven't used one before, but those rods just didn't feel user friendly.

Give the rods a try, they are a simple solution, you probably will want to raise the water level a bit to make it more efficient.~KitsonThe level raises when I add more screens, the lead never touches the solution. I tried the rods, briefly. They made me nervous around the S-mesh.Quote from: Binkspot on July 16, 2015, 07:25:37 AMFill a one gallon jug full of water and set it on top of the screens, just enough weight to hold them down, fits perfectly between the walls and won't sink to the bottom.Great Idea! Where were you before I went and bought 10lbs of lead lol :-)
