New equipment idea – adding a shelf
I added a shelf today. It is for mounting the pumps and then I will put the solenoids over this.

Storage tank
I started to fix up the storage tank for a hydrominder. I also installed a 1 1/2" plug at the bottom of the tank.
New equipment idea – pump location
I removed the old thermostat and moved the Weep Mizer over a little. The plan is to install a shelf to house the pumps then mount the solenoids over that.
Tested two pumps
I tested two extra pumps I got from Rumores today. One is an IR Aro 66605J-3EB which has santoprene diaphragm, ball and check valves. Which is good for soap products. The second IR Aro pump is a PD02P-APS-PTT which has teflon disk, check and diaphragm. Which is good for harsher chemicals.
They both seemed to work just fine. They were both set around 20 – 30 psi.
New equipment idea – holding tank
Cleaned out the old cold water holding tank.

Bob, is standing guard at the car wash. My youngest sister gave Bob to me for my Easter gift.
Flojet problems
Today, I opened up 5 flojet pumps. I was thinking that maybe they would be easy to notice what the problem was. The majority of the problems were with the check valve assembly. I tried to piece together a couple and got three that probably will not work. But I did try. Greg, did say to just buy new ones. But maybe if I replace them with new valve assembly kits the success would be greater? I have not check them yet though. I should be more positive.
