This is a picture of the wax, soap and hot water lines.  Also, a picture of the pump stand before the pvc removal.

I installed half inch elbows for the hot and cold water lines.  Then I mounted the solenoid rack on the pump stand frame.  Everything worked great.  I will need to convert the last pump stand tomorrow.  Also, move the electrical and run the cold water lines.

I reran the power and made the line longer.  Moved the pump station over and measured the space savings.  My projected savings will be less then I thought.  I should have 44" savings.  If I use my new ro tanks I will not have enough spare room.  The tank is 48″ x 40″ x 46″ so I think I might just switch to my old tank.  My old tank is 36".  This would give me plenty of space.  Then I could move the new ro tank back in when I move the Coleman equipment in and the old equipment out.

I could not sell this Simoniz tire shine for $2 a bottle.  But I already sold this bottle once for $1.  Hopefully I will be gone tomorrow.  Then I will have made $2 on one bottle.

I will need to extend the three power cords so I can move the pump stands.  It should be fun.

I reinstalled the float valve today.  Along with the basket strainer.  I capped off the old pvc line and capped off all the water lines.  I had to chisel off the old pump stand anchors.  I then attached the water hose to the Erie three way solenoid valve.  It will not win any beauty awards but I will have to work on cleaning it up tomorrow.  Also, re anchoring the pump stand.  The water pressure was perfect with no cavitating.

Today, I made the hot and cold water pvc lines and mounted the hot water line to the wall.  I also created a temp line from the tank to the new pvc line.  All the water is being run off the hot water line now.  My plan is to try and switch over tomorrow.

Supplies:  1) 8 x 18" long 1 1/2" pvc,  2) 2 x 5" long 1 1/2" pvc,  3) 10 x 3/4 x 3/4 barbs,  4) 4 x 1 1/2" elbow,  5) 2 x 1 1/2" cap,  6) 10 x 1/2" male x 1/2" female elbow threaded,  7) 2 x 1 1/2" male threaded end piece,  8 ) 10 x 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 3/4" threaded,  9) 5 x 5′ x 3/4" i.d. red hose,  10) 5 x 5′ x 3/4" i.d. blue hose,  11)  6 x 1 1/2" medal clamps,  12) misc. pieces of pvc to connect to the tank  13) 10 x 3/4 x 1/2 barbs,  14) 10 x 1" clamps

I did have a problem today.  The plumbing supply place (plumbingsupply.com) sent me one wrong connection.  It was supposed to be threaded instead it is slip.  I noticed of course, after I glued the whole thing together.  Also, it is in the middle.  But I need to look for a bushing.  A 3/4" slip to 3/4" female threaded.  Sounds unlikely but I will have to check tomorrow.
