Greg, emailed me today and he resolved my timer problem.  I thought it was my coin acceptor but it ended up being my loop detector.  The loop detector sends a coin signal to reset the timer.  But the loop detector wanted to kill my timer so it kept sending the signal.  So I reset the detector and now they are friends again.  But the new IDX X-10 does not work.  I will swap with the old one tomorrow.

Water leak solved.  I looked at my pictures from yesterday and this is what caused the low ro water.  The membrane did need to get replace though.  This is the hose that feeds all the ro water to the bays.

Also, I could have had a leak from this super rigged hose job.  A threaded nipple connector and some electrical tape.  That is totally awesome.  Yes, I said awesome.

I also moved the tank.  One quick note, make sure you turn off the water before you cut the hose.  You might get just a little wet. 

Filled up my salt water tank today.  I added five 40 pound bags of salt.

My RO tank was almost empty and my RO membrane seems to not be making any water.  So I decited to change out the RO membrane.

I really did not want to change the membrane by my self but it was very easy.  Unbolt and pry things off slid it out the bottom.

Slid the new membrane in from the top and you are in business.  Worked the first time.  Very easy.

1/4" of water on the floor of the equipment room.  The water was actually leaking out of the equipment room to the bays.  Which is not good.  I checked everything but could not find a leak.  It has to be something in the ro system because it seems to only leak when I am not these and it is not the holding tank.

I installed a used vacuum motor and tested it today.  Everything worked great.

I am now having a problem with my fragrance part of the vacuum.  It looks like the gun was run over and pulled out.  Also, no chemical comes out of the gun.

I exchanged out the IDX X-10 today with one from my Dad.  It still gives me the "COIN" error.  I guess the X-10 needs to be programed.  The coin acceptor has the same model number.

I conformed today that the timer is definitely the problem.  It is sending a constant coin pulse.  I will need to see if William can fix the timer.

My IDX X10 is a model # X10CR5A070F.

This is the biggest piece of crap check valve I have ever seen.  It was on the gravity feed water line to the hp pump.  It is new (installed four days ago) and it literally fell apart.  It broke shut which means no water.  All the pieces fell in the tee below the check valve.  I caught myself putting it back together then threw it away.

My Dixmor LED7 will only say "COIN".  I unplugged the timer and also tried to set the timer.  But apparently the timer will not do anything when it says "COIN".  Also, the coin acceptor will just steal money.

I called Dixmor (1-303-794-1387) and the guy told me that it was the coin acceptor.  The coin acceptor it just sending the coin signal.  I will need to check it tomorrow.
