One of my sandpiper pumps lost its prime. The pump was constantly pumping and nothing would come out. I had to remove the outlet hose and it primed up again. Also, the air compressor must have been running allot because it was super hot.
Sandpiper pump pieces needed
This is the piece that was leaking the other day. Everything looks fine but I wonder if I can add an "O" ring like Randy suggested. (Forum post)
Also, I needed these pieces for another pump. I lost the ball and the joint leaked.
Found someones crap at my car wash
I found someone's crap at my car wash the other day and I have been pondering this question. How long do you keep other peoples crap before you throw it away? It was left out by the vacuums.
Installing the correct hydrominder discharge hose
I installed the correct hydrominder discharge hose today. I have been using just a hose and never had a problem until I had a foot valve suction problem the other day. So I cut a hole in all my hoses. Ever sense then I have had a problem with my chemicals being to weak. It was driving me crazy so when William replaced a hydrominder I noticed the plastic piece in the hose. I ask Greg and William and they both thought that was my problem. I installed the hydrominder discharge hose and went down two tips to orange. I will have to see what happens.
I also lowered the chain today.
Another Professional Flojet install
Another professional flojet install. This install was over a chemical bucket so you can reuse the chemical and not waste it. I could not put it in the holding tank like I did last time. http://cwguy.com/?p=622
I replaced the flojet setup today with a sandpiper pump. It does not leak yet.
Fuse blew today – Update
I purchased and install a MDL-4 4amp 25V fuse today. It was fun and easy to install.
Dema Model 561 and Little giant pump
I found this setup in my basement and I thought I would post some pictures. This setup was an elaborate hydrominder basically. I emailed for the tech sheet about a year ago. Cyril Post from Dema faxed me the information he said it was an "obsolete model".
Coleman equipment
My Coleman equipment that I am hoping to bring to the car wash next week. It is a four bay setup and I have five bays. So I ordered 6 1 solenoid blocks and some fittings to convert it.
Sandpiper pump problem – Update
I exchanged out sandpiper pumps today. I will need to look at repairing the other pump later.
Holding tanks
I removed my old holding tanks today and brought them home.
