[RE-wrenches] Rolls Surrette Re-combiner caps.

[Chris Schaefer]

Kirpal,
You state that the Rolls 5000 series come standard with recombiner caps.
Just installed a set of 4ks25p yesterday and the caps haven't changed that
I noticed. I've been using the Hydro caps for about 15 years now and all my
clients including the ones we use here at our office/shop only require
water every 6 months. We reinstall the original caps during EQ. I am
looking to try out the Rolls caps one of these days though.
