Snort System

[toppack]

What is Included in the Snort-System?
Are there instructions somewhere for it's instalation?
I ordered System # LSNT but received a Pump only???
No tubing, wireing, motor capacitor , instructions, etc.
Please advise?

A detailed discussion of the above and more is covered in the SD instruction booklet -- just about finished with them, should be out in a day or two. Mike will post them to his site.

Okay, Thanks,
What about the Missing parts of the system?
Should I call Caswell to find what happened to them?
Surely the 'System' I paid for is Not just the pump???

No, you paid for a pump-compressor combination. You got that, right? What was identified under the part number you ordered? This is a question you should level at 'customer service' over at Caswell Inc.

You should have a LPB pump and an SubES1 electronic switch - as described on the web page.

Mike,

I'm sending you my final version of the 3.5 SubDriver instructions ... damn thing came in at over 36 pages!

Maybe you can post the relavent pages on the LPB here?

I could not find a system components list anywhere. I naturally assumed the system included everything Pictured with the pump, on snort-system webpage. That parts list should be added, if it's not there.
Thanks,

And you are absolutely right! There is no list! Darn!

We'll have to fix that. Now, I'm in Florida until Tuesday, so I can't do anything about this until I return to NY.

I have some 1/8" brass tube and I think I have some plastic tuning I can send you.

All you need to to is insert the switch connector into the receiver and then connect the pump to it. 2 holes need to be drilled into the rear end cap and the brass tube inserted there so it sticks out about 1/2" either side. Then the plastic pipe is connected to them.

Email me your name and address to mike@caswellplating.com so I don't forget please. I don't have access to that here in Florida.

That would be great, Thanks

David,

I certainly need it, because I still can't firure out the purpose and need for the 2 airline tubes going thru rear end of the SD ??? The Snort pumps air into the center ballast chamber doesn't it?

[toppack]

I have another question about the Snort pump. I'd planed to use a 9.volt battery but I just realized it is a 12.v pump.
Will the pump, operating at 9.v (probably around 70% efficiency) be enough air volumn to do the job?

Sure, no problem.

It's a 6-12 volt pump and it will work fine!

There are 2 tubes on the low pressure blower/pump. One goes to the ballast tank to put air into it, the other runs from the Snorkel. The 2 brass tubes through the rear motor bulkhead allow these tubes access to and from the pump.

I was afraid you were going to say that. :eek:
The aft compartment is Completely Full already, no room for pump there. I plan to put the snort pump in other end of tube with battery. So I need to somehow Move those 2 brass tubes to the other end of SD ??? ;)
It appears the tubes in motor bulkhead are not easily removeable? So I'll probably just plug them and drill holes in battery bulkhead and seal in more tubes for pump access.
I think that would be easier than trying to run tubing from one end to the other (inside) and still be able to connect it up.
I need to drill a hole in it for power-switch anyway, so what's a couple more holes gonna hurt. :D
