Flojet keeps running with no leaks

[Minni1986]

My Flojet keeps running without any bays in operation. I have checked everywhere for any leaks and all valves but nothing. I have changed the flojet 3 times and they all end up doing the same after a week or two.

I am using Kleen-rite soap brush soap.

Your link doesn't work. Is your Flo-jet pump pulling chemical from your holding tank. The pump will run it it doesn't have something to pump against.

It's hard to tell from your video, but it appears that you do NOT have a solenoid on the air line feeding the FloJet. When you set the unit up like this, you are relying on the blocked output stopping the pump. Eventually, a leak on the output side of the pump will occur....and your FloJet will run continuously, emptying whatever chemical you are pumping. This is an expensive mistake. It'll happen eventually.

Setup a PLC to open a normally closed air solenoid whenever a bay is calling for the FloJet to run. You can purchase a PLC for around $100, and they are relatively easy to program. There are also multiplexers made for Car Washes that are available, which would not require any programming skills.
