I had a dilution tank problem today. The tire cleaner over flowed. Not really sure why.
Sandpiper pump problem – again
My sandpiper pump lost its prime again. The pump was constantly pumping and would work fine in the bay. I am not sure what the problem is but the chemical seemed foamy and white like the picture to the left. After I removed the outlet hose the chemical took longer to prime this time.
Hydraulics problem today
There was a hydraulics problem today. The best we could tell the pressure gauge blew and fluid shot out of it all over the wall and the ceiling. I noticed it because the conveyer stopped working. Then the conveyer started working again without doing anything. William replaced the pressure gauge.
Fuse blew again – update
Fuse blew again. I will need to trouble shoot tomorrow.
Sandpiper pump problem – again
My sandpiper pumps lost its prime again. The pump was constantly pumping and nothing would come out. I had to remove the outlet hose and it primed up again.
Hydrominder outlet hose replaced
I have now replaced all my outlet hoses for my hydrominders. The outlet hoses were not creating the correct suction to pull the chemical.
Hydrominder outlet hose replaced
I ran out of tire cleaner today and also replaced my outlet hoses for my hydrominder. The outlet hoses were not creating the correct suction to pull the chemical.
Fuse blew again – update
Greg fixed my bay problem today.
1) First we narrowed it down to which function had the problem. It was just presoak.
2) Next we disconnected the presoak solenoid for that bay. This is to rule out a bad solenoid coil. Still had the problem.
3) Next disconnect the presoak wire in the equipment room. Not sure if we disconnected the right wire but still had the problem.
4) Next disconnect the presoak wire from the terminal block. This stopped the problem. Greg said that the wires were corroded. Which is bad. This fixed the problem.
5) The next step would have been to disconnect from the switch.
Fuse blew again – update
I tried a new relay and like Greg said it made no difference. One coil wire is going to the timer load the other to the 24 vac coil in. The throw wires goes to the equipment room.
One throw wire goes to the 24 volt power supply (white lower) and the other wire is not used? It makes no sense. I must have checked wrong. I was getting frustrated and tied to look at another bay then broke it. Had to figure out what the problem was then quit. I think I need to just rerun all new wire to the bay.
I forgot to mention that the relay switch goes back and forth making the noise. I believe this means that there is a wire short? Who knows? It also just does this when the throw wires are attached.
High pressure hose busted
High pressure hose busted today. I used a reuseable fitting to fix the problem.
