    My pre soak soap is just spitting air.

    Hydrominder works. When I pull on the chain to simulate bucket being empty it pulls both water and soap and fills bucket. motor works. When I took it all apart and put it back together the motor turned on to get up to pressure and then turned off.

    My pre soak soap is just spitting air.

    I have not put the new selenoid block on yet. Partly because I need a few more pieces and partly becuase I am terrified of the wiring. I am pretty sure it is the seleonoid Block. I know there is air to it as I took it apart and tested today. Thank you for your help.

    My pre soak soap is just spitting air.

    Blue tip on foot valve. Pump comes on to get up to pressure but never again. So I am pretty sure its the solenoids. Gotta get that baby replaced. Working on gathering all the parts as I dont want to use those old crusty connectors. Also scared to death of the wiring as the new Solenoids are...

    My pre soak soap is just spitting air.

    Hydrominder is working. Replaced foot valve, no change. Disconnected tank and drained it. Tested again… same thing. It works for maybe 30 seconds then just air. And yet the gauge reads zero air pressure. I’m going to be a damn good plumber before I die. But still stumped here.

    Understood. I mean more from a vandalism perspective. No screen on the cryptopay which initial was viewed as a negative for me. However it’s one less thing to fail and or get smashed.

    Please let us know how it goes. I am embarking down the cryptopay path after much research and hesitation. The Nayex device was more attractive to me but I fear it won’t hold up at my washes.

    Yes. Consensus seems to be the pump and or motor that turns pump. Thank You Sir.

    My pre soak soap is just spitting air.

    Yeah. When I pull the ball chain the tub fills up with chemical and water. So at least that part is working.

    My pre soak soap is just spitting air.

    My mistake thought it was in the pic. It’s just a lil 1/2 or 3/4 hp electric motor with a pro on pump attached to it.

    My pre soak soap is just spitting air.

    Interesting. So I have a large air compressor but only 1 flo jet hooked up. I believe they were waiting on these pumps to die before swapping em out for the flojets. Pros and cons of going with the flo jets vs what they have here ? When I pull in the chain I see chemical and water go into the...

    My pre soak soap is just spitting air.

    I’m learning here. Why are there 2 sets of valves ? I assume we are mixing the air with product. I bought this bad boy to replace the old one. Am I on the right track or what else should I look at ? Any tips on replacing the manifold and valves ?

    So my local landfill said they wont take it unless it is dry. So I agree with you. But if i want to remove it and get rid of it same day I am told by city it must go to waste water treatment plant. I explained that this is mud, and they said as long as its wet thats where it goes. 50 bucks a...

    Sludge Sucker ?

    I appreciate the feedback. I knew it was too good to be true. So I called my local dump who directed me to the wastewater treatment plant. They will take my mud for 50 cents per ton. Seems pretty cheap. Now sucking it out of the pit and and getting it to the facility is the challenge.

    Sludge Sucker ?

    My pits are 3 feet wide by 6 feet long and I am told they are 4 feet deep. I have yet to see the bottom of one so not certain. I think like many other things cost is determined by location. I’m in a small town.

    Paint your Concrete Block in your bays or no ?

    pros and cons guys ? I like the idea of painting my bay walls white to brighten them up. Maybe an extra white drylock ? I also hate the idea of having to redo it frequently. Thoughts ? Anybody else have flat prefab concrete ceiling ? Interested if you all apply sealant to cinder block walls...
