So I've got a JC supersaver and I'm getting little or no presoak or wax out of the guns. I can pull the chemical lines off at the solenoids and I have chemical coming out there when I turn it on, but it's like the cat pumps aren't sucking the chemical into the line?
Am I correct in thinking the cat pump is supposed to create enough suction to pull the chemical into the stream to the gun?

I noticed you don't have the needle valves like my Coleman Super Savers do. Did you remove them? Do you guys think they are needed?

Sometimes I find my issues is just opening up these valves to get more product to a bay.

The super saver doesn't have siphon breakers on their hydrominders. You should put a small hole in the disharge hose above the surface of the chemical. This will minimize the dilution problem if you have a foot valve go bad.
I agree with that, I did that on this particular hydrominder but I need to do the rest

Most of the ones I've serviced don't have them. I don't find them to be necessary unless the equipment room is on one end of a lot of bays.

I keep all the needle valves wide open and remove them when they cause any issues. Hi or low ph chemical will eventually make them leak.
