In order for the liquid to flow correctly, The solenoids must be perfectly vertical.

I haven't updated because i ended up in the hospital for a few things--I'm fine now but have abandoned the project because i am quite weak now-- just wanted to update i have the 3 PIDs the 18 inch clear plastic box ready to be assembled with the controls and wiring; but i will be doing a bit of wine and liquor making from now on-- vodka is first on the list if i fire up the still again.
