Jeff, That is some great info. I think my filter/drier is working well, but I will save the info for the SUD111, especially if I mess up my cap tube. I took the cap tube totally out today and gave it some blast of 150 psi dry air. I also cut off 3 more inches. I ran 100 psi propane blast into the borehole and into the water heater lines. Every thing seems open. I got a chance to make a quick test
tonight here are the numbers.

Time in Minutes - Water Temp F - Watts - Borehole F - COP
00 - 85 - 00 - 55.5
30 - 89.5 - .17 - 52.5 - 3.22
60 - 93.7 - .36 - 53.6 - 2.69
90 - 97.7 - .55 - 54.5 - 2.57
120 - 101.5 - .74 - 55.4 - 2.44

5.1 oz (by weight) Charge
Water temp in tank:85.6
Discharge line temp at entrance of tank:164.7
Line temp at exit of tank:93
Discharge temp at compressor: 166 @230 psi
Suction line temp at compressor: 67 @ 54 psi
Amps: 3.35 Borehole temp: 54.5

Water temp in tank:96.5
Discharge line temp at entrance of tank:171.5
Line temp at exit of tank:102.7
Discharge temp at compressor: 173 @ 250 psi
Suction line temp at compressor: 66 @ 50 psi
Amps: 3.48 Borehole temp:54.3

As you can see my borehole started getting really cold which to me says, "ITS WORKING".
And I was very happy to see it start warming back up.
I will finish out the test soon and see if I might still need to trim just a hair off the cap tube. If I understand it right I can keep making it shorter until my evaporator can't keep up, but so far it has handled everything I have tried to do. then it will just be playing with the charge.
