Pit cleaning fun

IMG_9315.JPGIMG_9335.JPG

I had to dig out four pits today and one with my hands.  It was great fun.  I should purchase a hand shovel for the equipment room.  The pit is messed up and the shovel does not fit in it.

Presoak pump leak

IMG_9314.JPG

I am having a flojet presoak pump problem.  The pump is leaking.  I installed a bucket under the flowjet.  Problem solved.  I am hoping to get rid of all the flowjets and the aro pump next week.  When I bring in the Coleman equipment and then I will be using procom pumps.

Flowjet pump broken

My little flojet broke and was leaking air out of the body of the pump.  I replaced it with the one on the right which leaks chemical.  I think the air pressure was to high for my little flojet.

Weird chemical leak problem – Solved?

IMG_9255.JPGIMG_9260.JPG

I think I figured out what my problem is.  The picture to the left is the outlet hose from my flojet that is about twice the size it should be.  Apparently, I should use breaded hose and the pressure regulator on the air compressor is set to high.  The right picture it not as severe a case but the pump has a regulator on it.

I talked to Greg about my pressure problem which is set at 95 psi and he said it should be set at 85 psi.

Weird chemical leak problem

IMG_9201.JPGIMG_9205.JPGIMG_9204.JPG

I am having a weird chemical leak problem.  The chemical tank is full.  The foot valve seems to work.  There is a leak around the pump area but I can not figure out what the problem is.  I checked the foot valve and I shortened the hose on the outlet from the hydrominder.  (The hole in the hose was under the chemical level.)
