Sandpiper pump problem

IMG_9348.JPG

I am having a problem with my sandpiper pump leaking.  Where the outlet of the pump connects with the tee outlet piece.  I need to purchase some replacement pieces.  I also have a video of the problem.  If you watch it you will question your judgment later and think you waisted your time

High pressure hose busted – Update

IMG_9340.JPG

The high pressure hose was pretty messed up.   I grinded the hose apart and used two reuseable fittings.

I did not have any reuseable fittings that had swivels so I had to use a swivel.  I will need to order a few swivel reuseable fittings and a couple unions.

Presoak pump leak

I am having a flojet presoak pump problem.  The pump is leaking.  I installed a bucket under the flowjet.  Problem solved.  I am hoping to get rid of all the flowjets and the aro pump next week.  When I bring in the Coleman equipment and then I will be using procom pumps.

Flowjet pump broken

IMG_9279.JPGIMG_9291.JPG

My little flojet broke and was leaking air out of the body of the pump.  I replaced it with the one on the right which leaks chemical.  I think the air pressure was to high for my little flojet.

Weird chemical leak problem – Solved?

IMG_9255.JPGIMG_9260.JPG

I think I figured out what my problem is.  The picture to the left is the outlet hose from my flojet that is about twice the size it should be.  Apparently, I should use breaded hose and the pressure regulator on the air compressor is set to high.  The right picture it not as severe a case but the pump has a regulator on it.

I talked to Greg about my pressure problem which is set at 95 psi and he said it should be set at 85 psi.
