Replace pvc and mount on wall: reran power

I reran all the power to the third pump stand.  I also moved the stand today.

I have a gain of 43" between the third pump stand and the holding tank.  This looks like enough room for the r/o tank and chemical buckets.  That means that I am done with moving the pump stands.  I will try to finish running the cold water line and the weep system tomorrow.  Then start moving other things.

Key to my vacuum

Someone must have just figured out that they had a key to my vacuum (Abus locks).  They opened the vacuum and ripped down the filter bags.  They also left the lock which was nice so I do not need to purchase a new one.  I just hope they do not open them again.  Then I will have a purchase new locks.

Air in my water line

After reading Autocareforum and listening to Mac.  I checked if air was coming through the pump.  When I placed my finger on the inlet of the pump, air was blowing out.  I then checked if a check valve was in the bay which there is not one.  Then I tested the check valve between the pump and the holding tank, which was bad.  I replaced it with a new check valve and tested again.  Everything was fine it held the air from going into the water line.

So Mac was right about the check valve between the holding tank and the pump that was the culprit.  I was having a problem with a tire cleaner air solenoid that was stuck.  I was waiting on fixing the problem until I fixed the air in the water line.  In retrospect I should have been able to figure this out.  But I guess I needed to just sit down and think logically about it or ask someone on the forum.  So the check valve would not hold the air out and the air would blow into the water line and holding tank.  Very simple after you think though the problem.
