Still below freezing and there was kind of a trash problem at Wylam. Really nothing happening exciting today.
Slugbuster coin jam
I had a coin jam today. Cool!
Broken rotary switch
One of my meter box’s rotary switches quit turning today. Now I need to find an extra rotary switch somewhere, maybe Kleen-Rite.
Hooked up anti-freeze based chemical – Update
I think that the anti-freeze won the contest against the water weep system for my foam brush. But, that is because my weep mizer was messed up and I needed to readjust it another degree. For the water weep system, only 2 out of 4 bays were weeping while the anti-freeze worked in all the bays. I also needed to salt the bays today. I was surprised with how many people actually washed their cars today when it was below freezing.
Hooked up anti-freeze based chemical
I hooked up my foam brush anti-freeze based chemical today. I will have to see which method works better; the water weep system or the anti-freeze system.
Hydrominder problem
My hydrominder got stuck so I squeezed the metal piece that holds the float. I believe it was sticking in the cap.
Am I cheap or practical? You decide!
My Weep Mizer was giving me the wrong temperature so I went to Lowes to purchase a thermometer. I really wanted to purchase an ir thermometer but my cheap / practical side made me purchase the $5 digital thermometer instead of the ir for $64.98.
My Weep Mizer says it was 43 degrees and the cheap thermometer said it was 38 degrees.
Greg told me that there was a screw on the censor to adjust the temperature on the Mizer. I decided to just adjust the start temperature by 5 degrees!
Foam brush weep system
I hooked up my foam brush weep system today. The check valve at the far end is used as a plug because I did not have one with my today.
I just attached the foam brush weep to one of the pumps weep lines for now, but I will need to purchase some parts and mount it better later. The last picture shows the weep solenoid on the far left which is where I will be mounting the weep line.
Water Wizard Preparation – Wire run
I had to rerun the Dixmor Weep Mizer wires today. It went from the crap in the first picture to the nice and neat last picture. But during the journey I blew its fuse so I had to drive to Lowes, which is great fun!
Gifts from Greg
Greg gave me some stuff today after going over to pick up some anti-freeze based foam brush chemical. Thanks again Greg.
