    Weep Mizer 2nd output question

    Weepmizer’s Max output is 3 amps so with relays you can turn stuff on/off on temperature rise/fall. I’ve used Output 2 to turn on blow outs, roof trough heaters, auxiliary heaters, boiler circulators, etc. Output 2 is steady state so for activating PLC programs, or triggering timers and relays...

    High Pressure Hose Suggestions

    Fortunately, I have several local hose suppliers in my metro area, so I provide my customers with “made-to-fit” hoses. 3/8” single braid hose with 3/8” MPT crimp-ons for HP. Measure from the boom to the bay floor + 3 feet. 1/4" single braid hose with 3/8” MPT crimp-ons for FB. Measure from...

    Have an old hydrospray system

    Soft water? I believe FL water supply is soap killingly hard (7-10 GPG) to extremely hard (over 14 GPG). Kip solenoids from the “Old HydroSpray” days may have swollen plunger tips. They operate electrically but the swollen plunger tips do not open to the valve port. These old tips are black in...

    Have an old hydrospray system

    Kyle Did you solve your No Soap issue? FWIW, Your photos show Dema solenoid manifolds on the low pressure systems. IF your soap solenoids are also Dema...I've experienced stuck plungers on Dema. Sometimes stuck closed, sometimes stuck open. Carefully disassemble the stem and check to see if...

    Foamy rinse water

    It's possible your bay supply hoses are saturated with soap, especially if they're original to the installation. Easy way to test...remove the bay supply hose and install a new, short length of high-pressure hose in the equipment room. Run the pump on Rinse with the short hose into a clean...

    Have an old hydrospray system

    If the water tank to pump supply hoses are 3/4” the pumps are not going to draw soap. They’re getting all the water they need. Try restricting the water supply so the pump will suck soap/wax. Turn the pump on to the soap selection with the trigger gun tied open. Slowly close the ball valve on...

    Polarized Water

    If the primary goal is the prevention of boiler scale and related heat transfer efficiency, magnetic scale reduction might provide positive results. However, when the treated water is exposed to the atmosphere, the benefits and performance degrade quickly and substantially. None of the...

    Floor Heat boiler puked...replacement options?

    I believe the CG5 is an atmospheric cast iron boiler. Not my favorite for floor heating. A properly installed firetube ModCon can achieve 90+ efficiency, with primary/secondary plumbing, a system pump, PVC air/venting, outdoor reset, and condensate neutralizer. Lots of material and labor for...

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    Fred is correct…no need to be alarmed, yet. TDS above 50PPM will start to show spots so you’ve still got life in those membranes. Low energy membranes (cold water) are a good solution for increased production. Short cycling of the RO system…it’s always best to have extended run times for the...

    Foamy rinse water

    I still believe you have a leaking check valve. There are 2 CVs under each of the pumps. The lower CVs are plumbed with poly tubing from the weep solenoid. If one or more of the lower CVs are leaking, that high-pressure leak pushes water back through the weep system water supply and into the...

    Foamy rinse water

    “more so since it got colder out.” A leaking weep system check valve might be the cause. Consider this possibility: High pressure soap past the leaking check valve sends soapy water into the weep system supply plumbing…through the open weep solenoid…into the water supply. If that’s the case...

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    mjwalsh, By-pass valve is for boiler protection. Without the by-pass, cold return temps result in excessive condensation. Providing 130°+ return temps via the by-pass heats the tube bundle and flue faster, reducing the condensation cycle. 1/2" bypass valve & piping might be fully open. Larger...

    Nayax reader wiring

    I am not aware of wifi capability for Nayax. It's either their standard cellular or your LAN. LAN requires CAT5 to each meter box.
