After 6 days of cleanup, we are 3/4 of the way there. 7/11 at 10pm the power was restored in our area. This line of debris is now twice as high. Windows opened up and the flags back flying!!!

You might look into whether there are other AVRs available for that generator head. This was going to be my first attempt to get better regulation. properly sized for the generator head. Also reach out to Marathon, as I did not find much with google searches. Sometimes changing the...

Clean AC power refers to: AC power that oscillates at a perfect 60 Hz with no noise or distortion in the line (a perfect sine wave)1. Electrical power that is free from spikes and voltage drops (voltage ripple)2. The 802 has a much better out as for 60 Hz and voltage across L1 & L3 (240vac)...

Notes from running on the Light Tower Marathon 6Kw pancake plugged into the 240v/30a twist lock: 7/8 at 5:30am started powering the whole house, 5198 hours. 4 ton AC unit started and ran fine. Added the neighbor's two refrigerators. The florescent and LED lights would flicker. The microwave...

Back yard 6-8" standing water. All the 6' wooden fencing came down. Back yard neighbor's tree came down crushing the fence. Tree limb fell on the light tower while it was running. No Damage. The poor MEP802 is covered with tree limbs and in 6-8" of standing water. Wires are staged to pull the...

It has been a while since my last check in. Well, we made through Hurricane Beryl with the minimum of damages all things considered. A lot of houses and infrastructure were damaged or destroyed. 7/8 the power went out at 2:30am. 5:30am flipped the main on the panel and switched to the Magnum...

Checking in from Lake Jackson, we are south of Houston just off the gulf. Was on MEP802 power from Tuesday the 9th till the 11th at 10pm. Going to start my own thread with all the notes of my first hurricane with major storm damage in the area.

It is a solid block, no sleeves.

Was leaning that way, guess I will have a spare plastic switch now. :cool:

YUP. They work freely and I don't feel it takes undo force to operate them.

Received the three switches yesterday, Thanks LITD. Question: Do I replace my functioning old style switch now or wait till it does break and I need the generator?

Put me down for 3. Thanks.

My short history with the Facet pumps is with the 2-802's and the 1-803. Of the 3 main pumps and the 3 AUX pumps I got one of each to work. I know these pumps are pushing 30 years old. But as with most thing, there are better options. I like the built in pre filter before the main pump to...

Look at the "Ultimate Well Nut" Once and done and solid brass and uses o-rings to seal.

Would like to know if anyone has used this style of pump? Looks like it would be a good candidate for both the main and aux pump. Does state that it will free flow when off, which is a concern in the aux position. Like the fact that it has a visible strainer.

I had those three MEP-803A power plants on my watch list. Holy Smoke that was a steep closing price. People need to settle down and take a breath!!! You buy boats in the winter for the same reason.

If we figure them out we will stop "tinkering" with them. Tinkering is the fun part!!!:cool: We are still talking about generators? Right?

Always good to hear from you Guyfang!!! Read user's talk about the balance/imbalance of their service. Just did not remember what the max these units can take before there is an issue. FIRST EMERGENCY RUN (y) As for the beatings from the wife. Those came months before as I was buying these...

DieselAddict, I think you caught my mistake. Started the run with a full tank. Put 5 gal in when the gauge read 1/2 tank twice. Put a final 5 gallons in to bring it back to full right before I shut it down when the power returned. So I only went through ~10 gallons of fuel for the 37 hours...
