Hello, New to the carwash stuff.
Last night I came to find my three bays spraying a little bit of water. i assume it is a weepmizer problem?
the output light is on.

What's the temperature outside? The Weepmizer will cycle on and off, is the Weepmizer cycling? When it cycles the output light will come On while the Weepmizer is On. I would probably start by looking at the solenoid valve. What kind of valve is it? Open the valve up and look for any damage to the valve diaphragm or debris inside the valve.

It shouldn't be on at 40 Deg. I'd look at the solenoid valve first. If you don't know what kind of valve it is, take a picture of it and post it here.

I'm not sure it was stated correctly.....

The weep water should be connected, using a Normally OPEN solenoid. This is so that a power failure will fail to a protected state.

If the weepmizer is connected correctly to the N.O. solenoid, the solenoid is OFF when the light is ON, and vice versa.

I've got a car wash helper, that after 10 years, still doesn't understand that OFF (the light on the weepmizer) means ON (weep water flowing). It's counter intuitive.
