FYI: This is always bad. It’s never good when water it coming out of the equipment room. A high pressure hose burst.
Hydrominder Problem – update
Earl sent in a message about my previous hydrominder problem:
Earl Weiss says: “I think the white float is sitting too low in the water. My guess is it has some water in it. Pull it out of the tank and look at it. You will be able to see if there is water in it. If there is you can unscrew the cap and empty the water, but if it has water in it it most likely has a leak and will happen again and needs to be replaced.”
He was exactly right about the float: the next day I was trying to fix the problem and noticed (top picture) that the float was full of tire cleaner. I replaced the float and I think everything is fine now. Thanks for the comment Earl and if you want you can check out the exciting video again so you can notice the problem now in retrospect.
Some annoying and fun problems
I got to dig out pits at both of my carwashes, which is always fun. I had a RO leak which rained on me when I was in the equipment room, which was fun. Then I somehow got a stick stuck under my car, which was fun for a while. But the sound of scratching gets a little annoying.
Flojet air leak – Again with a MEP1 help update
Today my flojet air hose was cracked again. I guess I am tightening this to tight? Well, I decided to try MEP1’s idea about using 3/8″ i.d. hose alone with 1/2″ i.d. about 1″ of each kind.
Sliding this on is fairly easy.
I put the barb in then tried to put the 1/2″ i.d. hose onto the setup. I could not get the 1/2″ to go all the way on (because of the barb) but I just trimmed the excess off with a razor blade. Then I put a hose clamp on and I was done. Thanks to MEP1 for the suggestion.
Flojet air leak
My flojet pump air hose had a leak. Is there a better way to attach the air line to the flojet barb? Can you purchase something other then a barb? This just seems to be a consistent problem.
Small presoak leak
I always like having a leak in the low pressure functions. I guess that is why you have to check them all the time?
It was also one of those days when every one of the bays had mud in it, FUN!
High pressure hose problem
Small leak in the high pressure hose.
