Another possible culprit???? If you have gravity tanks, Do they ever overflow when the weep is on?

Hey MJ...I thanked you for turning me on to Wago's! LOL....Yes, they are well worth the price. I used them on my lighting project and wouldn't have done it any different...They make for neat easy installations and super easy if you ever have to take wiring apart. The wire gage in this picture is...

I have Paraplate BR 5 regulators to replace my Giant Regulators when they fail. The instructions just say to use light oil. But researching further online, the best oil for o'rings is silicone oil or silicone grease like Sil Glyde. . So I figured silicone oil would be perfect to fill the...

Will be interesting to see pressure difference, weep on, weep off and at the end tee verses at beginning with weep on.

Just my 2 cents...Ditch the two galvanized wands for SS...Also, you say the weep is daisy chained to each bay with what looks like 1/4" ID X 3/8" OD polytube?. Maybe this is creating the issue? Go back and look at how I designed my weep system and compare to how yours is plumbed. You see the...

Are you using galvanized wands? Or SS? I had lots of trouble in the beginning using galvanized wands with freeze ups and plugged tips. Ever since switching to SS wands, it is extremely rare to have a plugged tip. Is the 2 poly tube feeds for hot and cold supply to the weep? Still trying to...

But then you have to factor in the "High Shipping" costs of Kr too!

Can you post a photo of your weep system?

If you are using a weepmiser, it is on 100% of the time at 14°. For just my 4 bay HP hoses at 20oz per minute below 14°, it will weep 900 gallons in 24 hours. I pay about $20 per thousand for water and sewage. It can add up real fast with the winter weather we've been having. So during extreme...

I've heard of some operators weeping heated water, but it has always left me scratching my head, wondering why ??? I only weep cold unsoftened water and can't remember the last time I had an issue, tested to -16°. Where is the swing check located in the system? Wondering why its in there if...

You never said what your system pressure is? My needle valves are open more than 1/16 turn open...

I will ask? Why are you wanting to heat supply water for your presoak hydrominder? I would think if you plumbed it to the same Demand Heater Output to your float tank, it will vary PS dilution because of varying pressures created by uneven flows to the float tank? You say its to combat chemical...

OR you could consider putting PS and TC on a separate foam gun with an appropriate nozzle sized for LP....When you go from 1200psi HP to 60psi low pressure through the HP gun using such a small nozzle, the performance of the LP is going to suffer. There is really no way around it. You can...

Well, If you insist! ;) I like the idea of having a cold low water backup supply if going the demand route. Also, If you insulate the heated gravity tank, IMHO and experience, there is no need to circulate heated water through a heat exchanger to keep the tank warm. Even after not being used...

Or you can opt for one of these instead of the on demands. It only has a 23" diameter and is 52" tall. Has a 1" NTP Flow through design capable of 40gpm. No restrictors. It is more than enough for your 3 bay and you won't have any worries of starving pumps or needing to add backup cold water...

I had (2) hubble fixtures per bay with 85w cfl. I believe the (4) 18w LED bulbs for security puts out more light. So yea, when all the bulbs are lit, it's bright. The (3) bulb fixtures are perect for this type of lighting project.

Randy is 100% correct. He told me about 1/8" SS Kip solenoids years ago and I've never had one fail. I have had debris keeping one from seating causing backflow, but that isn't the solenoids fault. Other than that, the SS kips are great little solenoids and the price is right. Less than $30 Bucks!!

I don't see how this could work if you had multiple tips on the undercarriage wand? Unless they were sized to give you the exact flow and pressure as the main wand (If sharing the bay pump). I would think the only way for it to work reliably is to have a separate pump for each bay? I can see all...

The needle valves I got from KR are not that temperamental. I don't know how many turns out they are. I use a measuring cup and stop watch to set flow, 16-20 oz per minute. When it comes to flow pressure, my incoming supply is at 40 psi. So that pressure works for me with no regulator. I'd think...

I never Titrated PS like you did. It was a mute point when I moved it to a foam gun...But I can tell you, I've stripped more than (1) 5 gallon bucket of plumbing off my pump stand and it works better than it ever did! The way they did things years ago had me scratching my head! If 1 drop is all...
