Mad,
  For the price it works. It may not be like the 400.00 ones but it does the job. Here is a trick that I learned with this item. The O-ring needs to be glued down to the cup and then lube the O-ring with some grease. The O-ring slid around on me a couple of times. It has been fine so far after I glued it down. Good luck with it.

WARNING WARNING WARNING.....
 
Clean your strainers everytime after use. I did not figuring it would be good for a few times at the lake. Well the other day on the lake I noticed only one header has steam. I was playing with the banderlog settings and still the same. I then played with the Watts valve, still nothing out of the right side header. I then pulled over the to sand bar and took every water line off (easy with braided lines and the AN fitting tool). The lines were perfect, not a drop of sand.
I then took the strainer off and it had some blockage. Cleaned it all out and then took the boat back out. Got nice steam out of the headers and my pressure was back to where it was supposed to be. Now I will clean it every time I go in or out.

T.J.  First let me say like everything you do, it's first class. 

Now for us that only through the miracle of the Pub-Lick (in respect to RonWhite) schools managed to graduate highschool but still arent the sharpest pencil in the drawer, could you please explain what all we are looking at in regards to your routing?

Here is mine. You can get an idea.

Ok here you go. The main line coming in from the jet pump goes directly to the strainer. Then the little tube with the welded -8AN fitting where the -8AN line is goes to the banderlog valve. The banderlog instructions state that full pressure from the pump is required, hence I did this before the WATTs valve.
Ok now we are still at the aluminum tube section that goes to the 3/4" NPT "T" fitting. This goes to the WATTS valve. The WATTS valve has a dump -8AN line overboard. The other side of the WATTS valve -12AN goes to the inlets on the front of the block. Ok JORK, test later, get the #2 pencil out.
Here is a pic of the Banderlog valve. You can see the -8AN line coming into the valve(right side of valve) from the welded aluminum tube thingy.

Beautiful work as always T.J.

Now I understand. I was assuming that these devices actually regulated the water coming in but now I see, that in fact they don't and just when the "sense" extra pressure in the system above the preset limit, they bleed off pressure through the dedicated dump line.........what a maroon I am.(mispelling intentional)  :banghead:

Thanks so much for posting the pics up.........john
