Interesting points. Wow, I never thought of that.
Bear with me as I try to think this through though. Wouldn't you negate the effects of all that head pressure by throttling back the input valve? I.e., if the JG valve or the 3/4" valve is mostly closed, won't the pressure in the reactor not be all that high?
Or is it that .... because the irrigation valve on the effluent output is throttling back the output, thus creating a tendency within the reactor to pressure up slowly .... and since the feed line on the OTHER side of the valve is 17' head pressure, the net effect in the reactor will be to creeep upwards to the point that both sides of the inlet valve are equalized? And thus the reactor would also be under 17' head pressure (or whatever).
I guess what I'm asking is .... just because it doesn't pressure up all the way immediately; doesn't mean that it won't eventually pressure up all the way???
:shock:
Oh my. If that's the case, then that mini-jet is looking better and better.
