We keep our bays open all the time. Heated trough (loop from floor heat & 6 gallon tank w/circulating pump 95 degrees). Blown down system. It has already this year been down to -19 plus wind chill.
Yes...Yes...I would not forget that! I still have the work-around stored deep in memory! I can't believe you haven't tried it yet? For now, I know absolutely, positively, and for sure I don't have SFR leaking by my solenoids, but I'm not over-pressurizing either. I would like to try this on a few bays to start, my furthest from the ER...Even IF I decided to close those bays, it would only be a matter of putting up the cones. No manual blow down. But if it worked as advertised, no cones would be necessary, right?!?!?!2Biz,
Your "Secret Sauce" system has been proven to work on your HP lines...as long as you are absolutely, positively sure that your SFR solenoids don't leak. When the SFR repressurization pump turns on for one bay, does water flow from any of the other idle guns? If the answer is "sometimes", then those guns are gonna freeze. (That's why I don't use the secret sauce for my HP guns.) You'll recall our discussion re: the mods needed to absolutely, positively insure that SFR doesn't "contaminate" the protected bay components.
