Broken back up air compressor – Update

IMG_8607.JPGIMG_8610.JPGIMG_8613.JPG

It only took me 5 months to order and get the replacement belt.  The bill did not have a total but the sales person said it should cost around $40.  Now I need to install the belt.

To order the belt just call 1-888-895-4549 and ask for the 007-0068 belt.  It is the only belt they ship / sell so it is easy.

Hooked up anti-freeze based chemical – Update

IMG_8507.JPGIMG_8508.JPG

I think that the anti-freeze won the contest against the water weep system for my foam brush.  But, that is because my weep mizer was messed up and I needed to readjust it another degree.  For the water weep system, only 2 out of 4 bays were weeping while the anti-freeze worked in all the bays.  I also needed to salt the bays today.  I was surprised with how many people actually washed their cars today when it was below freezing.

Am I cheap or practical? You decide!

My Weep Mizer was giving me the wrong temperature so I went to Lowes to purchase a thermometer.  I really wanted to purchase an ir thermometer but my cheap / practical side made me purchase the $5 digital thermometer instead of the ir for $64.98.

My Weep Mizer says it was 43 degrees and the cheap thermometer said it was 38 degrees.

Greg told me that there was a screw on the censor to adjust the temperature on the Mizer.  I decided to just adjust the start temperature by 5 degrees!

Foam brush weep system

I hooked up my foam brush weep system today.  The check valve at the far end is used as a plug because I did not have one with my today.

I just attached the foam brush weep to one of the pumps weep lines for now, but I will need to purchase some parts and mount it better later.  The last picture shows the weep solenoid on the far left which is where I will be mounting the weep line.
