    Test your drip system. I get a bucket with ice and water, Put the outside probes in the bucket of ice water and see what temperature the drip starts dripping out each gun and bubble brushes.

    No Foam!!!

    I agree with Greg. Do you have your air going to those 2 bubble brush hoses turned on?

    Soap Jelling like mucus...

    I fought that for years. Switched over the high pressure soap to JBS first and added the copper and the problem never came back. Within 2 months I switched everything over to JBS. It’s been almost 4 yrs. still no issue. No more jelling.
