I think our city pressure is around 50, so that can't be the issue. Are you talking about the check valves behind the hydro-minders on the super saver tank? I also have check valves on each pump where the weep line goes in before it hits the pump. Is there any way those could restrict flow to...

Here are pics of the solenoids. The first pic is of the 5 for the pumps, the other is for the weep.

I have a regulator that runs to the pump solenoids and also to my weep. I am having trouble getting my weep to put out more than 12-13 oz per minute even with the regulator turned up and was wondering it would be ok if I just removed it? Attached are some pics of my setup.

I guess it varies in different areas because at one wash I have never had hot water and no one has ever mentioned it or complained, and at my other wash I have been turning it off during the summer and no one has ever said a word. I do have good pressure and put out good hp soap and a foamy...

Every time I check the forecast, it trends lower!

That's why I post here, to help figure out my priorities :) I have decided to get an accurate quote on repairing my current boiler. If it is too much, I will just replace it with an efficient 199 btu water heater. I would rather not weep hot, so I will first thoroughly inspect my trough to...

You run hot water for your rinse?

It is not working and hasn't for years. It is my understanding that it would be very expensive to repair.

I do have a boiler, but it has never worked. From what I was told by the previous owner, it was going to cost over 3k to repair it so he never did. I figured it would be cheaper to just put in a hot water tank. Plus the boiler is plumbed to a lot of other functions, so if I got it working I...

It turns out that I actually already have a line from my floor heat running through my trough. I guess that it's not enough. I'll check to make sure that there are no places that air can get in as that would negate the little warmth the floor heat line gives out, correct?

Our water is pretty hard here, it was a hardness of 20 the last time I checked. I guess keeping it soft is probably better. Any idea what size water tank I would need in order to weep hot water to 5 bays at around 16oz a minute? Thanks.

I am going to re-plumb my weep and noticed that soft water runs to the pumps for the high pressure rinse and also to the weep system. I am going to change all the weep to run off of city water, and was wondering if the high pressure rinse would be fine running on hard water or if there was any...

I am going to install a hot water heater in order to be able to weep hot water when needed and am trying to decide on the size I need. I have five bays and will only weep hot for the high pressure gun. If I have 5 bays weeping at around 16oz a min, what size water heater would do the job? I...

I decided to go with Mercury as their rates were not that bad and the only feel they charge was a $9.95 monthly fee, but they agreed to lower it to $5 to match Paymentech, so it wasn't bad at all.

I'm not sure, but what I did was to park two large cars where they would be while vacuuming and opening the doors then measure. That would be your best bet and you can see how it will look when in use.

I have always taken off as many hoses as possible after a freeze up and let them thaw in the ER. At the wash with the busted fittings, I don't know that they are busted until it thaws on it's own, but I'm sure they bust upon freezing.

I had to replace some beams this year that had multiple holes in them and were falling apart, so in the spring I planned on painting all exposed beams in hopes of having them last longer. I might have to give this a try. Keep us updated with how it holds up.

It is not insulated, not a bad idea either.

Please tell me you didn't pay all the invoices. There is no way in the world you should have paid the invoice where they installed the wrong motor. If anything, they owe you for your time and stress of having to wait for the softner to be repaired and for the extra time you spent having to...

I just went over to the wash with your idea in mind and came up with a good plan. I already have a small water heater that is only used for the bathroom over there. It is all the way on the other side of the large ER, but it shouldn't be too hard to run a pipe from it along the ceiling and tie...
