Bruce,
Excellent idea….
It was crossed my mind that this could be the best of both worlds.
Plus, hypothetically it would slow the battery drain for firing the solenoid in the first place.

Would you keep the solenoid on the same 1st stage as the orifice or just use a slide shut off for potential solenoid runaways/failures?

300ft is a long way down- I am not too worried about that.
Great Whites- not to worry about in the Gulf of Mexico- just large tiger sharks.

Regards, Andrew
