Your right about the flooded hose clearing, but I still wanted to learn all the "old" techniques. Must be the pilot in me? Anyway the conversion with the HP/LP ports is called The Phoenix and it is done to a DA Aquamaster. I've seen one and they are great. Look up Phoenix in the store at www.vintagedoublehose.com also check out the NAVED section. Bryan is great to deal with. Tim
