Unloader problem? – Update

Took off the tip off and the weep started working.  Then I tightened the unloader and the pressure started building up.

I think I need to replace the unloader but am not sure how to remove it.  The second picture is what is connected from below.

I was thinking of changing the setup like this.

Randy’s foam brush weep system

Randy's foam brush weep system is very similar to mine.  But looks a lot better.  The first picture is the full setup, nice and organized.  The second picture is how he feeds his city water into each foam brush line.  He installed the hose after the foamers (third picture).  He also has a check valve to prevent the water from going back in the foamers.  (My foamers are in the bays.)  He is using a weep mizer and a nice solenoid and actually used conduit to the power supply.  Nice clean job.

Unloader problem?

No water was coming out of the high pressure gun, pressure gauge says 1250 psi.  I am getting water out of the pump.

I believe the unloader (left picture) is not allowing high pressure to pass through.  But the weep is not working either (right picture) and the weep is teed after the unloader.

Note:  My high pressure weep does have a solenoid on the outlet to stop the flow when low pressure is in use.  Which it cool, I did not test it though.

Swapped motor starters, finally

Worked the first time.  Wow, that deserves two thumbs up.  But I needed to take a picture, so just one thumb up.

Not sure what the "set relay at full load motor current" needed to be set at, so I left it the same.  The left motor starter is the old one, right the new used one.
