I hate these fittings.  I replaced it with a push lock.  Then tightened up one of the adjacent hoses.

I think that the flood might have been from draining the tanks.  I am not sure because I thought I got most of the standing water up two days ago.  Also, water could have leaked out of the holding tank after I cracked off the 1" plug.  Oh well, I will know in a couple of days.

I had a flash flood today.  It was about a 1/4" deep.  It had to happen last night.  The floor was quasi dry yesterday.  I came back over about an hour or two later and the floor was drying.  I will have to see what happens tomorrow.

Another shelve broke today.  Nothing but an empty box fell so far.  I need to redo the shelves with something stronger.

I had to use a strap wrench to get the filter tank off.  I think it was clogged up just a little.  I wonder if the filter was white when it was new?  I ran the water for about a hour and everything worked okay.  Also, nothing broke and it was an easy fix.  Which is always good.

There was a water pressure problem and I noticed by my pumps cavitating.  I then checked the storage tank and the water was very low.  Then the pressure would be fine then awful.  I turned on the water hose and the water pressure was fine.  This told me it had to be the water regulator or the water filter.  I did not want to open the water filter because it was getting late and there was a hose bib in the main water line.  (Because of Wylam’s problems a few days back.)

So I decided to hook a hose up to hose bib to supply the water pressure.  The problem is the hose bib / barb was to small.  So off to Lowes again for more parts.

I bought a new barb and fittings and everything worked okay.  I think the water pressure was to high and the tank might have leaked all night but it did work.

I JB weld the stainless tank again.  It seems to not leak any more.  That is good enough for me.
