Redi-Gas services our campground in Watertown with gas and tanks but I'm not sure if they come into the burbs.

Yeah redigas doesn't come in this far. I am finally getting around to hooking this thing up but don't know jack about propane needs. Came to discover that trying to test this with a 20# bottle won't cut it.

If they are the bottles that are like 4 feet tall and as big around as the 20# then they stock them at northern tool on hwy 100

Wow, for the cost of all that copper and time to do it you could have just bought a damn pool heater, lol. I suppose if you have that stuff around the house why not, haha. I can't imagine it lasts too long on a 20 lb tank though.

Scott there is an America Gas on Howell where the old United Rentals building was. Just north of College Ave. I drive past it everyday. They have what your looking for.

Hmmm Scott I didn't know it wasn't fully hooked up, if its propane there could be a low pressure cut of switch in there.

Do you have the manual ?

This might be a PITA without the proper psi backing it up, hmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah, it was news to me yesterday. Here is the pressure switch if anybody can figure out it's needs; Hayward SGII 60 Heater Propane Gas Valve CZXVAL0332

No documentation, I am piecing info together and things are getting a bit clearer. As far as pressure, if a low pressure regulator is on a 20# or 100# tank wouldn't the regulator keep it the same either way?

I bought my own tank at Northern Tool, then drove a couple blocks over to the U-Haul on hwy100 and had it filled there (behind the building)
