Hey all! hope everyone's doing well. as the title says im having a issue i just cannot trace.
(let me start by stating this is a LP system through my HP gun. no air is hooked to the pre soak system/non foaming)
It is my presoak system, in bay 2. when selected the pre soak works for about 5 seconds, water/presoak completely stops coming out of the gun in the bay. This is only happening in bay 2. so first though was check the pump make sure its coming on, it is. next since its localized to only one bay, removed and replace the solenoid on bay 2 only. so i did, checked for build up of rust and what not, however everything was clear. put it all back together go out to the bay and it works! great. cycle through everything else, come back to it and it works, then stops again... WTF. go back to the eq room, take the hose off the sel. turn on the bay again, nothing is coming out.. ok great, take the bran new sol apart and find some chunks of rust inside the plunger area. clean them out put it back together, turn the bay back on and its flowing great! hook the hose back up go to the bay turn it on, and..... nothing. again everything else works presoak stops flow completely.
Go up to trough where the manifold is. remove the line turn on the bay and dump it into a bucket. to my surprise nothing comes out. ok gotta be the hose! disconnect the other side and send air though it. hose is clear..... no blockage... for shits and giggles, i check the check valves on the manifold, everything seems fine. back down to the sol, remove the wiring, check it with tester, signal is on, take the hose off the sol again, turn it back on, hard flow. hook the hose back up, go back to the trough, turn it back on, hard flow through the hose. hook it back up to the HP manifold. go back to the bay turn it on and it works great! awesome. switch to tire cleaner.. tire pump never comes on, presoak stays running......ok..... cycle through everything else all works, come back to tire cleaner, it turns on.. go back to presoak works great! shut the bay down... presoak stays on, pump still running, for 30-40 seconds after shut down. WTF.. ok must be in the box. switch maybe, lets check. open it up turn on the bay cycle through everything which tests and shows signals where they are supposed to be and sending to the eq room. everything works perfect for several cycles. no hiccups, not still running after bay is off. just seemed to "fix itself"
Go in today... and of course, bay 2 presoak not working again, surprise. swipe my crypto pay attendant card, it wont register it for several swipes (first time its ever happened to me) but reads kicks on and no presoak. everything else is ok. takes a LONG time for tire cleaner to pump out. The only thing left i can think to replace would be switch or timer...? (mind you these were all bran spanken new installs a year ago on the boxes timers switches etc.) again only on bay 2, pump for pre soak always turned on when called, but nothing flowing/stops flowing.
thoughts? Burn it down? fixes? lol
