Automatic Transfer Switch

[mbulriss]

Good catch on the toilet water pressure David. When I rebuilt the air-water sequencer valve and got a bath, I concluded that it didn’t need full open throttle! LOL

Yes, I think everyone with a water manifold like the LXi has should add a shield. I’m beginning to think it’s a condensation issue on the piping as I can’t find any leaks but I have seen a small puddle of water that ran off the new shield after a hot/cold/hot rapid weather change that we have had in Texas this year. Also due to the cold, I left the Aquahot on for a while so it may have added to the weather change issue. In any event, the water goes on the floor now rather than on the switch boxes. The ATS box is not very sophisticated from an electronics basis, but the good news is that failures will probably just affect the gen set transfer but allow shore power in. So that’s good. Now that I have a spare I’ll probably never have another failure anyway!
