I hate when this happens

I hate when someone vacuums up lots of crap, but it could be worse. Like Greg’s mishap with paint being vacuumed up, which is always good for a little fun. But I also got to dig out a pit which is really where all the fun is at.

Boom leak

I thought that my 90 degree swivel was leaking but after I replaced it with my shiny new Mosmatic swivel. I noticed that the boom is leaking. It looks like if it was welded where the previous weld is maybe it would quit leaking?

Lots of RO problems

Nice little leaky hose.

Another RO problem was when anyone used the RO water, bay 3 got RO water also. This was caused from crap in the solenoid. My RO system is wired to only run when someone activates it in one of the bays.

Every time I touch something on the RO system something has to break. So the brass push lock fittings started to leak. I removed the last 4 left and installed plastic push locks. Done for now, I won this time RO system!

Some annoying and fun problems

I got to dig out pits at both of my carwashes, which is always fun.  I had a RO leak which rained on me when I was in the equipment room, which was fun.  Then I somehow got a stick stuck under my car, which was fun for a while.  But the sound of scratching gets a little annoying.

Flojet air leak – Again with a MEP1 help update

IMG_2066.JPGIMG_2071.JPGIMG_2073.JPG

Today my flojet air hose was cracked again.  I guess I am tightening this to tight?  Well, I decided to try MEP1’s idea about using 3/8″ i.d. hose alone with 1/2″ i.d. about 1″ of each kind.

Sliding this on is fairly easy.

I put the barb in then tried to put the 1/2″ i.d. hose onto the setup.  I could not get the 1/2″ to go all the way on (because of the barb) but I just trimmed the excess off with a razor blade.  Then I put a hose clamp on and I was done.  Thanks to MEP1 for the suggestion.

Flojet air leak

My flojet pump air hose had a leak. Is there a better way to attach the air line to the flojet barb? Can you purchase something other then a barb? This just seems to be a consistent problem.

Reusable fitting problem

I was going to clean up the bay and the hose fell out of the boom.  This is my first reusable fitting problem.  Looks like the hose just wore out?

My new setup in the boom is a 6 foot hose then a 4 inch piece of stainless steel then a 90.  Then a 1 foot swivel saver along with a swivel and a 8 foot hose.  The reason I used the shorter hose in the boom with the high pressure stainless steel pipe was so the boom would not rub a hole in the high pressure hose.  Hope is lasts well.
