Re: Automatic instead of manual gas addition valves

I can only repeat the reasoning of the Titan chap, he insisted that manual valves have a much higher failure rates than solenoids, hence using solenoids to inject both O2 and dil would be safer. Leaving out manual valves altogether would also add to the loop integrity since there are less points of possible water entry.

He didn't say anything when I asked him about failure rates of the solenoid controlling electronics and their power supply, though.
