AC Water Manifold Project
It's nice having the valves so we can service one unit while the other keeps running, and I was thinking of expanding on the system by adding some flush ports or a full setup to easily connect garden hoses for descaling as shown in these plans:

Here in central Florida I have to descale every 6 months to a year.
What I'm not a fan of is the schedule 40 PVC fittings in this application. I don't see Marelon fittings to reproduce what I'm trying to do, and a bronze setup would be very heavy and very expensive. I'm thinking of switching out the schedule 40 for schedule 80 PVC. Anyone have similar setups or ideas?

Re: AC Water Manifold Project
Personally I would have no issue making the manifold out of PVC with the appropriate valves you need to separate the systems for descaling purposes.

I can build out what I'm thinking for about $100 with the gray stuff. Moving it off the top of the pump using some hose is an idea.
