Message Those guys are located here in Colorado. I have their kit (got it free).

Pump is good. It's a rebadged Surflow. Works great.

Nozzles will not work. They are way too large and long. Once installed they will be spraying right up against the piping wall because of the length. This is why I bought some Aquamist nozzles instead.

The kit is very generic. It's made to just turn off and on. No pre pressurized system. It's made to come on when a certain boost pressure is hit and then the pump starts pumping and it starts spraying. It has to build the pressure up as it goes. This is why I bought the aquamist water solenoid. It allows my system to always be pressurized and ready to go. I also added an accumulator to help keep the pump from having to be working all the time to keep up the pressure.

The pressure switch it comes with is very simple and "cheesy" looking. I got the one Nixit recommended in stead from Napa.

The fill tank is very small and virtually impossible to mount anywhere on the Z. This is why I got the front stock reservoir.

The check valve may work. It's a large one way unit designed to be used with 1 nozzle. I opted to go with 2 Aquamist check valves instead so that I could put them near each nozzle since the Z will need 2.

You'll need another nozzle as the kit only comes with one if you decided to try and use their nozzles somehow. You'll also need some more water line and "T's".

So pretty much I used the pump from the kit and used some of the fittings and that’s it. I sourced the rest from Aquamist. Their kits are cheap and work well for other applications and as a basic system, but not ideal IMO.

I have pics of the kit I think. I'll see if I can find them.
