The original reason I put solenoids together on a stack with long nipples between the tees was because the needle valves we used were almost as tall as the solenoids. It has been a few times where I've had to unscrew the whole solenoid because the stem seized in the body. Also, with the way I...

Are there check valves at the boom? One of those could be bad and pressure is making its way back through. Spot free would be a likely culprit since you'd probably see the others overfill. It could be the regulator. Normally I would pinch off the bypass hose to see if anything is flowing...

Do you need a Hamilton validator for some reason? You definitely won't regret a Mars or Talos conversion as you mentioned in your other post. They are far less finicky and just work and work. Most people don't even clean them.

It's theft of service for carpet cleaners to dump their effluent at a car wash, at least when the wash is paying sewage rates. I don't allow it regardless because you don't know what they're dumping, and it usually stinks.

Whenever I've seen trash floating in the trap, it was because the bays had a straight open pipe. I always put an elbow on the pipe turned down so debris can't float down to the trap.

Maybe if you say "a dead hooker your husband has been with" they'll accept your offer.

This was an experiment for a guy that worked really well. The adjustment screws are easy to get to, and I bent an old license plate to hang over the next solenoid down so when you service the one above the soap doesn't dribble onto the ones below. The 1 1/2" long nipples leave room to change a...

I don't know. You'd have to call them to get the specs.

It's just water weight.

I was thinking if I did do something to attract rug cleaning business that I'd add a vac in the bay as an extractor.

You should be able to get a lot more pressure with a 2505 tip. If you try increasing it, watch where it stops coming up on the gauge with the trigger pulled. Once you find that point, back the pressure down where you can see the gauge dip a tiny bit. This will prevent a strong surge of...

Is it showing 1400 with the trigger pulled? Does the pressure gauge sit at zero with the pump off?

For the cost of SS block manifolds you can build a solenoid tree with Kip metered solenoids.

It's just input, not meant in any way to be a critique of your comments. I do remember, I've done a rebuild of the same stands, and I'm still not 100% happy with the outcome, mainly that the guys I did it for have made some not-so-smart changes to it that have caused some complications, and now...

I have very seriously considered laying out plastic for people to come do this. Professional rug cleaning is very expensive.

I've watched people pee in the corner by the changer many times. One day there were two boys, one 10-12, one might have been 18. The younger one peed in the corner, the older one pointed at the camera, then they laughed and high-fived each other. I'm sure they looked for the video on YouTube.

Make sure you're running weep guns unless you use an unloader instead of a balanced pressure regulator. I just dealt with a wash where the guy ordered shutoff guns and melted all the plastic bits in three of his pumps. The water circulating in the head without flowing anywhere will easily let...

Consider replacing motors with something that holds up better, and change the brushes on a schedule. I replaced my vac motors with Domel and replaced all the brushes every two years. It takes me an hour to do six 2-motor vacuums, and I haven't had a motor fail in over four years. It beats...
