It must have been a little windy last night. But it makes you think. If it was something better then just "Fine" would it do better then a "Fine Pool" in the wind. We know what happens to them.
Stupidest thing I have done at the car wash all year
Today, I decided to cut off the old PVC and replace the whole thing. I should have just replaced the first "T". Then I used slip bushings in my plan, bad idea. William started helping around the big blue shaved down coupling. It did not fit.
I installed the old backflow preventer back on. Then we turned on the water. The water started pulsating very badly. We watched when two "T’s" broke loose and you know the rest of the story. It was late and we were in Wylam so we closed the wash and cut the power to the pumps and ran away.

J-B Stick Weld works on PVC? – Bad Luck
Well the plan was to J-B Stick Weld the PVC and fix the leak. This was probably one of the worse ideas all year. But it was inedible.
I tried adding J-B once and it did not help. Then the second time I added more and it still did not help. It seemed to leak even more.
Then after inspecting the PVC with the water off I tried to turn the water back on. But the water bib was broken then I started to mess with the water bib before the backflow preventer. Then that water bib was broken. Then William came over to help and he turned the main water bib and guess what happened.
THREE WATER BIBS BROKEN IN ONE DAY. Talking about crappy luck.
Then the water meter was buried with dirt and roots. Also, the concrete housing shifted to make it very hard to turn the water off.
But William did save the day and got everything working correctly. The setup now has all ball valves this time. But there was one last problem. I installed my new used backflow preventer that I purchased. Well, the backflow preventer leaks like crazy. So William and I decided to give up for the day and I will replace the backflow preventer tomorrow.
Rowe changer stole money
I guess I stole $5 today.
Hamilton changer problem
Changer said it needed cleaning.
New equipment idea – tank problems
The tank over flowed. I think the float got stuck in the elbow setup. Also, the tank still leaks after the J-B Welding.
New equipment idea – J-B Stick Weld
Today, I tried to fix the leaky stainless steel tank with J-B Stick Weld. I will let it set till tomorrow.
New equipment idea – adding cpvc
Installed the cpvc for the water line and the drainage line. I used ball valves to test the hydrominders.
Broken hydrominder
The plastic base was broken and I replaced it today. It is pretty easy if you have a spare.
