Is anyone running a water catch/trap before there intake? I was thinking of a setup like what I use on my plasma cutter and air compressor outlets to keep condensation out????Mike

Its a good idea.

Not sure what kind your refering to. i use a coil of tubing that is inside a container so it tends to deposit moisture inside the tube. Then the water drips out at the end of the tube. i also like painless's designin inside a bubbler.

I think Smith03Jetta has done something like this (http://hhoforums.com/showthread.php?t=61&page=44) already. I believe there's more info and results in the 2 pages following 44.

I have two of them in my setup right now. The first one is right after the gen. to catch access electolite. The second I thought to slow down or stop condensation, it might help a little bit. I think the filter idea close to end of the gas hose works better. I'm going to change to the filter but keep the one right after the gen.

Are you asking about what I made them out of? Haven't worked bugs out of pictures yet, but I'm getting there!

I was more asking how you configured it. I was thinking of just using one of the setups like you would use on a air compressor to keep the water out of your line and tools, its a glass container with an in and a out...not sure how well it would work on an hho setup????

For the "trap" a went and bought 1" clear tubing and gooped the hose fittings the size of my gas hose and 1". It was real cheap and it works. I tried using them as a bubbler but the 1" diameter in my opinion is to small.
