Increasing lines
I have a six line python on a 75-80 ft run running on a 1/3 single pump power pack. My question is, if I go up to a ten line python do I need to increase the size of the power pack or will the one I have suffice?

If it's an MMPP4301-EP (5 gallon glycol tank)you will need to go larger, if it's an MMPP4301 (12 gallon glycol tank) you will be OK.

A 10 line python will have 4 glycol lines, making it a 150-160 ft run.

The four glycol lines need to be looped to be run off one pump, or an additional pump can be added. This only increases the run by one and a half the actual distance, not twice the distance. So the additional distance is actually 112 1/2 ft - 120 ft. If you power pack is 125 ft. or larger you will be OK

Beer Dr. That's news to me, but damn, that's good to know. I read in another post by Scott that you are quite correct. Now I will have to relay that imfo to certain MM sales people. Tapman
