Hey Andy, I didn't know it was ok to mount the pump at that angle. Will that cause any problems?
Great pics, being new I love to see detailed pics of everyones set-ups.

This is my second set-up. I ask for suggestions on this and got responses from some BIGDOGS that said this is the way to go. Up side down.

Upside down is good, but you need to be using 3/4" barbs instead of 1/2" so it will run at peak performance.

Not doing so will cause problems. The pump will be forced to max out it's amperage draw at 29.5 amps which will eventually cause it to fry or blow fuses.

Read the 12V Fatboy thread.

The only guys who have had problems with the FATBOY unfortunately listened to a salesman instead of an experienced roof cleaner.
