Water Wizard Preparation – First car washed! KIND OF!

We washed the first car today!  Well kind of washed the car: the chemical tanks and holding tanks need to be cleaned.  There is no chemical, the air is not connected (that is why the boom is pressure washing the ground in the 4th picture), and I do not have enough water pressure to wash my little car.  I have a 1″ water line going into the building and Greg said that it should be enough to work so we will look at it tomorrow.

Water Wizard Preparation – 1″ High pressure hose

Okay I had a 1″ 2 wire hose that I needed 2 fittings crimped on to.  I called a Napa and they said to bring it in. Ends up they have no fittings and they thought I had the fittings also.  So I tried another Napa which had the fittings but they did not know how to crimp them.  Then I went to a tractor supply place that freaked out when I needed a pipe thread fitting, but they did only had one fitting.  Then I went to Applied Fluids Systems, who fixed me up and everything was fine.  The only problem is this little process took 2 hours.

Water Wizard Preparation – Water lines install

Today William and I installed part of the water lines for the Water Wizard.  I am going to use softened water for my chemicals and street water for my high pressure water.  We also setup the RO water for the Wizard.

We added a tee and a 1″ water supply to the soft water supply for the chemical lines.  I could not connect everything because I did not have all the correct parts.

We added another tee for the RO water and I did not have all the pieces to finish the rest.

I did not have all the correct pieces to connect the main water line either.  Maybe tomorrow I will finish.

Water Wizard Preparation – Gantry test

I labeled the “box of power” today, actually it has only 3 things and the electrician told me the answers.  William and I turned the power on and moved the gantry for the first time today and there was a problem.  The third picture shows how the gantry gearbox bolts hits the rail bolts.  So William cut off all the bolts then the gantry can move back and forth.

Taxes done!

My tax were finished today!  Usually my accountant is slow but after she hired someone else she is getting faster.  I need my taxes done because I need to get in on some of this 4.5% interest rate.  WOW!
