Month: April 2006

Today, I got my Mars acceptor back from Etowah Valley Equipment.  It now works after getting blown out by putting the wiring harness on wrong.  This time I checked and installed it correctly.  Everything works great and it also accepts the new $10s and $20.  Even though I do not accept $20s.  They were very reasonable around $80 for repair and the new bills.

 

Had all the pieces I needed today.  So I mounted the pvc to the tank.  Also, I folded and tie wrapped the ends of the hose so I could do each bay one at a time.

Pretty blue wax.  It might be a little to strong.

I installed all the hoses and everything actually worked the first time.  Also, install the screen on the correct hole and plugged the old chemical line.

The last thing I did today was mount the soap line and all the pvc hoses.  Tomorrow, I will need to mount the hoses to the solenoids and attach the pvc to the tank.

Well, the plan is to mount the pvc that gravity feeds the chemical and water to the wall.  Today, I started the project with constructing the wax and soap lines.

This consisted of:  1)  8 x 19 1/2" long 3/4" pvc lines,  2)  2 x 5" long 3/4" pvc lines,  3)  10 x 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" elbows 1/2" threaded,  4)  10 x 3/8" x 1/2" nylon barbs,  5)  10 x 3/8" x 1/4" nylon barbs,  6)  6 x 3/4" medal clamps,  7)  4 x 3/4" elbows,  8 )  7 x 3/8" I.D. clear vinyl tubing,  9)  misc. pieces of pvc to connect to the tank,  10)  2 x 3/4" pvc caps,  11)  2 x 1/2" male x 3/4" slip end piece

No wax in the bay.  Usually means one thing.  Broken needle valve again.
