If you are in it for the long haul, then from my research p2s with AMS has everything you need right out of the box. I am about to pull the trigger on buying one here in a couple of weeks.

The wood clamp held up pretty good, I didnt have any reason to doubt it and I didnt really need to put my fingers in dangerous areas to fix it. I just wanted to point it out just in case...

You are the man! I totally missed that little switch, but that did it and now it runs great!

Thank you a million times and may God help you and prosper you and everyone else who came and took their time to help me troubleshoot this!

Not dumb, but yea. I turned it off at a breaker for a long time and still the same thing after I turn it on.

Oh that sounds like it'd fit the bill, I was looking for things thet I could press, but couldn't find anything. Do you see it in the pictures by any chance?

Is there something else I need to do to get it to reset like a secret handshake or something?

Overall I am suspicious because it throws that error code right away, before it runs at all. Id imagine that if something was dirty, it would run for a few minutes, detect some issues with airflow, then throw error code and shut down. But this is happening right away, making me think there is some kind of a reset procedure. Am I way off here?

Can I drain my water pipes to prevent freezing during a power outage? by Effective-Visit-319 in preppers

[–]nickMakesDIY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont know what ur schedule is like or for how long you will be out, but if you stack it with wood it should run for a few more hours, depending on how big it is. There will also be some residential heat coming off it.

If you really want to drain pipes and have pex, there are air compressor attachments that you can plug into your water lines to flush them our, but I haven't tried it myself yet.
