The only time I've painted one it was new and had paint grip coating because they were out of the matching color. I used a good oil-based paint. The secret is prep. If you want the paint to stick, IMO you should clean and scuff the surface. It's going to be a lot of work if you want it to last.

There very well could be a sensor, I usually use two float switches in the tank, one to control the fill and one to keep the pump from running dry. It should only affect the spot free pump unless the spot free runs through the bay pumps.

Powder coating is done with a powder (hence the name) that is electrostatically applied to an individual PART hanging in the air, which is then baked to melt the powder onto the part. So no one is going to be powder coating their mansard unless they take it down piece by piece, powder coat it...

Pulsating could mean an issue with the valves/o-rings. You should probably go there next.

Overload tripped would usually mean the motor wiring has overheated, but I can't imagine why it would affect all the pumps at once. FYI, a tripped overload doesn't cut current to the motor which is why you can still engage them manually. It does sound more like a low water safety.

So what are you saying? Don't do it, but maybe do it?

The reason the city might not let you use well water along with or instead of city water would be because they usually charge for wastewater based on city water usage.

Any idea what the well water hardness is and what kind of contaminants are in it? You wouldn't want to use well water that will end up costing you more to treat than just using city water. It might be fine for washing down the lot and for irrigation without treating.

Before you throw any more parts at it... Have you replaced the tip? Does any water come out of any other bays with the problem bay running? Does the pump run smooth all the time? Does it run smooth with the trigger released but pulsate with it pulled? Is the pressure low on all functions...

This is the cheapest one on Kleen-Rite's site and is also the highest output model. You can use it and either dial it back internally or adjust it with the system controls. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-39130-procon-102a140f11ba-pump-140-gph-170-psi.aspx

I don't think I've ever seen those exact booms, but they will take almost any regular boom swivel or an inline swivel + a street elbow like I do.

They do if you get to know your customers. I've had some of my worst ones become some of my best ones once they realize it's people like them just trying to run a small business.

But it would be more helpful to share here in case someone else has the same issue.

I have a lot of trouble with those because I used to work with an idiot who wouldn't make sure the set screw was on the flat spot of the motor and it creates such a burr that you can't get it off easily. I can usually get it with two large flat blade screwdrivers wedged underneath, just twist...

If you have Cryptopay hardware, you're stuck with Worldpay. Some CC hardware requires a certain merchant processor, some doesn't.

Post a picture of the boom.

Have you checked the pump when this happens? Does the pump still run but there's no pressure?

Some booms need a particular swivel to line up, but most can take any boom swivel. I've switched to an Adams inline swivel with a street elbow, and I use the same swivel for the gun and below the swivel saver.

Yeah, there's either soap in the drip (weep) system or there has been in the past and the gauges are stained. It's not a big deal either way, the weep check valves would be the problem and they're not expensive or difficult to get to.

You could, but it would be more expensive and less reliable than separate components. TIKR403: $127.72 Mercury relay: $26.30, TIKR402: $71.76, 24V transformer ~$10 = $108, and that's if he can't re-use the existing timers. The mercury relays almost never fail and are inexpensive to replace if...
