they sell them for 6AMU but I've seen reference elsewhere to people building their own, anyone done it?

We have a large 2-1/2 gallon pressure pot for purging the system when needed.

Aviation Monetary Unit = $1000.00 USD     It takes the sting out of buying Aviation parts that have a fancy metal label that can also be found on an old tractor for $50.00

any pressure pot, like those used for painting, will provide the pressure to purge the TKS system. However, if you don't use adequate filtration, you will ruin the TKS panels by clogging the pores with contaminants.

The diagram in the AMM shows there are at least two inline filters. We would use fresh fluid and not recapture purged fluid, I think we can get away with just one filter. Not sure.

Perhaps you guys could help a TKS owner understand more about my system.  When would you use this device?  I test run my TKS system on the ground each month to verify that each panel is flowing correctly. Is this cart a repair item? thanks

I just coat the leading edge with Rain-X for plastic ($5.00). So far no ice here in Florida neither in Pittsburgh during Xmas time.:)
