Did you mean running a part with less SA than the Ti rack?

Yes....but im talking a part with ALOT less SA then the rack. One thing ya can try(if your rack is settup that you can) is load some parts on the bottom of your rack.....while anodizing start pulling the rack out of the tank. You shouldnt see your PS compensating for any difference in the rack size(if the rack is primed and been used a couple times).

I did this with a couple parts on the rack.....the rack definetely had more SA then the parts on it. The PS didnt budge until parts started raising out of the electrolyte. Try it out and see what happens. Im assuming that should at least tell ya something....right?

Its been along time since I was experimenting, ill try to make it out and grab my notes to see what all I came up with.

Just thought I ask this.
Your Ti racks do you use racks with plastisol insulation?

I feel your pain on the submersible pumps Acid, my new tank started out with a submersible for agitation. It lasted a whole day and died. Did the same as you and found an 1100gph Little Giant pump on Ebay for $75 used. Changed the plumbing around and haven't looked back, works great.

No, They are simple 1/8in and 1/16in wires bent to form a kind of clamp, then they are suspended from a common SS bus bar.
