Water Wizard Preparation – Water pressure fix

IMG_9331.JPGIMG_9401.JPG

Greg came by the carwash today to help us troubleshoot my water pressure problem.  His idea was to get a water pressure gauge and see what the water pressure is before the regulator (hose bib) and before the Water Wizard hydrominder.  It ended up that I was getting 90 psi before the regulator and 40 psi before the hydrominder.  Then we decided to remove a large inline filter and the pressure jumped to 60 psi.  This jump in water pressure to 60 psi with the 1″ water line allowed me enough water to keep up with the high pressure functions.

Water Wizard control unit problem

We were having a problem already with the Wizard control unit not allowing us to test each function.  Ends up that the Red Lion (1st picture, has a display on it) was not plugged in.   The silver plug (2nd picture) was a little loose and that was the problem.  So our first problem was solved!

Water Wizard Preparation – First car washed! KIND OF!

IMG_9322.JPGIMG_9323.JPGIMG_9325.JPGIMG_9327.JPGIMG_9329.JPGIMG_9331.JPG

We washed the first car today!  Well kind of washed the car: the chemical tanks and holding tanks need to be cleaned.  There is no chemical, the air is not connected (that is why the boom is pressure washing the ground in the 4th picture), and I do not have enough water pressure to wash my little car.  I have a 1″ water line going into the building and Greg said that it should be enough to work so we will look at it tomorrow.

Water Wizard Preparation – 1″ High pressure hose

IMG_9312.JPGIMG_9313.JPG

Okay I had a 1″ 2 wire hose that I needed 2 fittings crimped on to.  I called a Napa and they said to bring it in. Ends up they have no fittings and they thought I had the fittings also.  So I tried another Napa which had the fittings but they did not know how to crimp them.  Then I went to a tractor supply place that freaked out when I needed a pipe thread fitting, but they did only had one fitting.  Then I went to Applied Fluids Systems, who fixed me up and everything was fine.  The only problem is this little process took 2 hours.
