Category: Repair

Today, I had a new Rowe changer problem. "Bucket power on" I thought it was a weird error. I said "yes the bucket power is on" then hit reset and everything seemed okay.

Today, I installed the last of the tubing, which my Dad gave me.  Also, I cut and installed pvc pipes for the chemical buckets.  Tomorrow, I will install the pvc pipes at Hueytown.

I was having a problem with my light bulb being blown. Well, I looked at the old bulb which said: "Philips 175wr h39kb-175 usa j2-_2".  So I went to the store and purchased a "Sylvania Mercury Vapor 175 ANSI Ballast h39".  Which I assumed was the same because the model number of the old was h39 and the ballast of the new was h39.

When I went to install the light it was labeled "Type T or R Metal Halide"  which means I did not purchase the correct one. Can I use the other or do you have to use the correct bulb? Also, when I was trying to replace the bulb half the lights started not to work and I blew the fuse. Apparently, something is wrong with the wires in the MH wall pack. I will have to look at that tomorrow.

I replaced 3 more of the hoses that run from the chemical to the tank. One more for tomorrow it I can find more 3/4 inch tubing.

I also had a problem with my float valve. Luckily Greg gave William a float valve the other day. William replace the float valve but not before I tried taking off the broken one before I cut the water. Which it a bad idea.

I did not repair the 3/4 inch tubing from the tank to the chemical. The tubing hardened up and when the chemical got low it could not reach in the chemical any more. The problem is it looked like it was okay. Now I know to replace when it gets to that state. 

Today both of my changers were out again. This time one had a penny in it.  Then the other had the same problem as yesterday. "CK L COIN DETCTR"  But William fixed it today. He said it was the light that counts the quarters.  I hope he is right.
