Are those PSI ratings per strut, or for the two combined? Reason is right now the lowest pressure switch I can find is 40psi ceiling...


---Edit: Found a few switches i think adjustable and I can lower them well below what I'd need to from what I read, I still need to know the combined (both struts) psi they should be at? And if so, JR's3800...was that PSI rating you gave me for the two with a "t" connection?

Thanks As soon as I figure this all out, and figure out how to make it work RIGHT, I will make a long write-up and hopefully anyone that ever wants an automatic filling system, can just follow suit, cause I'd love to make a helpful contribution to this club
