When replacing a motor, there are many specs listed. What spec tells me the spacing of the bolts? I want to make sure whatever replacement I get will fit in the exact same space. What other specs do I have to match up if I am getting a different model #?

I noticed that the hydrominders on my new pump stand don't have nearly as strong of a suction as the units I had before. I was pretty sure that both were the 506 model, but don't know how to tell for sure. They look exactly the same other than that the units I had before didn't have the swivel...

I totally forgot about that check valve. Has to be one of them that is bad. When I left, the tank had held stead for a bit, so the leak must be very minor. I will just keep an eye on it for now. Thanks everyone that chimed in.

there is, but that is so HP water doesn't run back into the weep. I haven't checked my float valve, just assumed is was the weep since the valve is only 3 weeks old and the issue started when the weep kicked on. Could be a coincidence, I'll try to check it. It's a Hudson valve, so hard to check.

Those are what I have been buying, I already ordered 22 more for my other wash. The only check valves that I see for the weep are where the weep lines plug into the pumps. But those are to prevent the HP wash from running back in to the weep. Where else would there be a cv?

I have a JC super saver and noticed this morning that it was overflowing. It is doing it slowly, so I am guessing that the weep water is somehow running back into the tank. It is probably easy to figure out, but I can't seem to process it. What is the likely cause? It is the hot water...

To update, I finally made it into the attic. I only checked 2 bays, but out of 8 check valves, 6 were bad. All four weep check valves (TF and FB) and 2 out of the 4 that went to the chemical lines. What could cause that many failures? I am just going to buy 20 and replace them all.

I did put in a complete rebuild kit last year, so I am familiar with it. I should have taken it apart yesterday since it was raining, but have been focused on getting my new stand/weep system working before the freeze hits tomorrow. I will take it apart next rainy day.

Too late, already greased them... Since they were used, I figured they were neglected and never greased, so I actually put a bunch in there. Usually I put 2 squirts, but instead I put at least 10. Why do you say to not grease them, and what can happen? Also, I have changed bearings on cat...

$75. Been leaking when running for years, always passed the pressure test. Does seem worse now.

I am pretty sure that some of my motors need the bearings replaced. I am looking for advice on the best place to buy them, and also how to know when they need to be switched out? Some of my motors are pretty quiet, but others make a loud whining noise and others a knocking noise. Here are the...

It is inspected yearly. Current inspection just became due, so I will have that done soon. I will check the incoming supply, but it looks to be all copper inside the ER. I had a lot of trouble with galvanic corrosion a few years ago, so I got rid of all the galvanized piping everywhere in...

I had a similar issue with a hydrominder on the pump stand I just installed. I replaced every part and still had suction issue. Ended up replacing the whole hydrominder and it worked. Never had that happen before, usually it's the eductor or a clogging issue.

I will check to see what the incoming piping is, but I see all brass in the equipment room I think. Just need to check how it comes in exactly. Last year I had an issue with the back flow running water all of the time, even when not in use. I bought a rebuild kit and changed everything. The...

I installed the virtual treadle and I agree with most of what you said. It's a million times better than what I had before, and complaints of the washing saying "back up" forever are now non existent. While there are many pros, there is one major con. Since there is no bay plate, the wash...

I put a pressure gauge on my back flow device to monitor incoming pressure, and notice that it intermittently drops from 55 to about 25 psi while someone is washing, but only for about a second. It holds steady around 55psi when nothing is going on, but during any activity, it drops to 25 or so...

If you haven't paid him, don't. If you have, then you would probably have to sue to get anything, and that's not worth your time.

I'm pretty sure both the motor and pump are designed for the B size belts, but I'll double check. I know the pump is for sure. I looked at them and it seems that they might slightly be misaligned (motor and pump) but I don't really have room to move one or the other much, so I'll put a...

Is there a rule to how tight the belts should be? They seemed ok, but I wasn't sure how tight to go.
