Had all the pieces I needed today.  So I mounted the pvc to the tank.  Also, I folded and tie wrapped the ends of the hose so I could do each bay one at a time.

Pretty blue wax.  It might be a little to strong.

I installed all the hoses and everything actually worked the first time.  Also, install the screen on the correct hole and plugged the old chemical line.

The last thing I did today was mount the soap line and all the pvc hoses.  Tomorrow, I will need to mount the hoses to the solenoids and attach the pvc to the tank.

Well, the plan is to mount the pvc that gravity feeds the chemical and water to the wall.  Today, I started the project with constructing the wax and soap lines.

This consisted of:  1)  8 x 19 1/2" long 3/4" pvc lines,  2)  2 x 5" long 3/4" pvc lines,  3)  10 x 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" elbows 1/2" threaded,  4)  10 x 3/8" x 1/2" nylon barbs,  5)  10 x 3/8" x 1/4" nylon barbs,  6)  6 x 3/4" medal clamps,  7)  4 x 3/4" elbows,  8 )  7 x 3/8" I.D. clear vinyl tubing,  9)  misc. pieces of pvc to connect to the tank,  10)  2 x 3/4" pvc caps,  11)  2 x 1/2" male x 3/4" slip end piece

No wax in the bay.  Usually means one thing.  Broken needle valve again.

I replaced the transformer and the capacitor today.  It looked totally fried and smelt like it also.  I also did not get electrocuted.  Which is good.  Oh and it worked.

My hydrominder was overflowing when I opened the equipment room today.

 The valve was not working properly.  When the water was on the water would just trickle out like the picture above left.  When you simulated the float it worked fine.

I had a spare valve repair kit (Dultmeier Sales part number HR 6655K) and replaced the valve.  Everything worked fine again.  I also changed to Warsaw’s Radiance red high pressure soap.  Because it sucked down the rest of my hand cleaner, I mean high pressure soap and foam brush soap.
