weep miser setting

[washzone]

Last year i remember a post about changing weep miser settings for p1, p2, and p3 to 30 seconds instead of one min, i cannot find it again, I was trying to find at what percent the weep would run at each setting

Curious why you want to do that? Here is the default timing below. I use the default program that is tested to -16° and works great. If you are having problems, there might be other issues, like temp probe sensor location. When I purchased the wash, it was inside the open bay towards the ceiling where a certain amount of heat was trapped. This didn't give accurate outside temps and I had a few freeze ups on the outside open truck bay. Moving the probe/censor outside under the overhang on the North wall fixed the issue. It now reads exact outside temp and is not skewed.

35° 1 minute 10% or 6 seconds, 25° 1 minute 50% or 30 seconds, 15° 1 minute 90% or 54 seconds, 14° 100% or full on

If you have a wind chill issue you should raise the temp up a bit to take that into consideration.

Since we are on the subject of weep. Is there a recommended volume of water/minute when the weep is active. Obviously the cycle time is variant on the temperature but I'm curious to know what amount of water needs to be passed? I have needle valves feeding the weep water into my pump heads then to the bay and if possible I'd like to set the volume being discharged to reduce waste. Thanks in advance! Kevin

I set mine to 16oz per minute per bay gun. BUT, there may be other variables to consider like how well your trough is insulated. Do you have trough heat, etc...My trough is heated to 110° below 32° with Raychem Winter guard Heat tape and a loop from the floor heat when it runs. So again, lots of variables. 16oz per minute for me works great. Tested to -16°, all open bays (no doors) with an outside uncovered truck bay.

Last year was the first year I did this compared to hot liquid loop and it seemed to work much better. Highly reccomend it.
