PS.THIS IS A JUNKY CHEMTEX STALLION
The pump has two ports on the low (inlet ) side. and two ports on the high pressure side. If your garden hose goes direct to the inlet. You can put the bypass from the regulator on the other side of the inlet. This will avoid what I call the christmas tree affect. Makes sure all your hoses are larger in diameter than the port size. Avoid 90* elbows . What is the bleeder hose for and were is this hooked up? By the way, running bypass to the pump is the worst thing you can do. Its just poor engineering.
hey thanks for the reply.i have no choice but to use 90* cause of the way its laid out.so i ran it inline from the water hose hooK UP into the inlet pump.line out to the regulater.back out to the inline pump thats where i put the thermo relief valve.back out of the pump to the heat exchanger.
Here is a pic of the Stallion from the side. You can see a lot of the plumbing, maybe this will help.
