Pumps, Bypass and Unloaders... HELP!

CL Scott said:
Hey Tom (or anyone who understands), why would that be better than leaving it plumbed to the tank?

And if I move it, what goes on the other side?

If you were going to get rid of the easy start and plug the opening, put the pressure relief in its spot. Right now the relief is after the unloader. With a pressure relief on the head if the unloader malfunctions the pump is protected. Or put a tee with both easy start and pressure relief on the head.
 
good points Tom. ..and I add..
whenever a pressure-relief valve is mounted..
it should not be pointed down..
this would allow scale to build-up on the oriface, which can partially or completely glue it shut.
Mount relief valves horizontally.
 
I am going to have to mount two unloaders in parallel with a switching valve.

The k7 is easy on the guys and eliminates the need to depressurize the hose before rolling up.

But I need the trap unloader on some days to turn down pressure and volume at the wand.

I thought about a valve to switch between unloaders but decided to just use jumper hoses with plugs/couplers so I can change to the unloader I need, valves don't last long down here with the rust, very hard water and salt air we have on the Gulf of Mexico.
