  • Not a professional but Ive DIYed it. So the following may be oversimplified and/or not best practice.

    You’ll need a gauge set so you can watch both the high and low side pressures. Your unit probably does not have ports to attach the gauges but they make some adapters that bolt on and pierce the lines. These work ok but will probably be another spot for leaks down the road.

    You’ll need to figure out what refrigerant your unit has in it, there’s usually a metal placard somewhere that tells you this. This is how you’ll look up where your pressures need to be.

    Finally you’ll need to source said refrigerant, which you likely cannot buy without a license or bribing someone.

    The actual charging procedure I would look around on youtube for. It may vary depending on your type of unit but it’s usually pretty straightforward.
















  • I don’t think they know yet. He just had the surgery a week ago so the stitches haven’t been removed yet and he’s still confined to a smaller crate to limit his movement. The Dr. did say something about leaving the pins where they would be easy to remove later but I think that was only if needed.

    Poor guy hasn’t had a good month. He was just recovering from a black widow bite on his paw that got infected and made him sick. Not 2 days after he finished his antibiotics, he managed to severely dislocate his hip and break the top off his femur.
