Guy, yes it bypasses the same. In this case, back to the pump.
Russ, it is not an auto start/stop. It does have a timer to shut it down after a minute or so in bypass.
Normal process is to flip the on switch and push the button. It will continue to run in bypass for a minute or so when not in use. If trigger is pulled before it shuts off, timer restarts.
So now, trigger needs to be pulled while pushing start and all is normal, but shuts down as soon as trigger is released.

So unloaders on an electric washer will shut it down vs low pressure/low volume as on gas engines? That's a new one for me.
When the rain stops, I will be doing the pressure feed, then on to the unloader as my next stop.

Hi John,
I am still washing. Our drought isn't helping, even with recovery, but I am still with it.

I have a DeWalt one, not sure of the model, but it holds about 2 gallons. It takes the batteries from 12 to 18 Volt. It is decent for what it is, but isn't a power house, but better than any auto parts store 12 Volt that I have used.

Electric washer: It has a Century motor, CAT pump, & K7 unloader, assembled by Hydro Tek.
It wouldn't stay running unless the trigger was pulled. Replaced a leaking inlet hose between the filter and pump and everything was fine for a week. Now the problem is back, but there are no leaks, anywhere, from the tank to the filter, and on to the pump. The filter is clean, the tank is full, water flows freely to the filter, but the machine will only stay on with the trigger pulled.
I checked the pressure switches on the unloader and they are good. I plan to do a pressure feed and see if that helps, but have not yet.
What else am I looking for?

I put a bucket lid and a small sandbag on at home to keep the junk and rain out. I use an 8" elbow on certain jobs when parking under trees or sprinklers is unavoidable.

Never saw this then. Thanks for the well wishes. :-)

Multiple places have wanted this over the years. "Sign up with us and we will get work for you" is the basic idea. The BBB, Chambers, Orgs, Associations and so on.
If it works for you, then go for it, if it doesn't then don't. If in doubt, ask around to see who has any information. Ask for a list of their clients to see who you might work for.

I quit playing Farmville.

I use a local hydraulic shop for hose repairs, and o-rings, but that is it. I get all my parts from Mark at EC and do my repairs myself.

Kevin,
My perception is that You are convinced that this is a good product and now want others to investigate it, so that you have some support in your belief.
This bbs started in 2003, and if there are no search results for a product that has been around since 1999, that should explain a lot.

I fill up on site with the customers water, unless in the rare occasion they don't have anything accessible. I never fill at home, There is no point in that.

Well, a few people here have taken cones sitting along the road. At least the bucket was on his property.:-)

Good idea John, you have always been a positive person. Not sure something like that can work with such low funds, but it can be tweaked to make it work.
I have no interest in an Org because of past experiences, but there is a place for them. I would be open to joining one, should the right one come along.

If this was not true ... than a 5GPM machine with a 1:5 injector could take 1 gallon chem and 5 gallon water to then be pumping out 6 gallons of liquid.... why wouldnt we just use the injector to suck up that extra gallon and turn our machines in 6GPM machines ?Well, if you do not mind the low pressure that goes with the downstreamer, the yes you can get 6 gpm.
Keep it simple,whether it be ounces or gallons. If you have a 1:4 mix it is 5 total or whatever the numbers are. So in ounces it is 5 ounces total for chemical and water or for one gallon it is 160 ounces total with 128 for the water and 32 for the chem.

A message has been sent on your behalf to Beth. I looked at your settings and they seem to be fine, but wait for Beth to take a look.

What are you trying to look at when it says this?

Discussion of business ethics is one thing, name calling is another, cut the smack people.

Nice to hear that he loves his brother that much.

Running the pump dry would be worse. I never drain my machine, ever. Now of course if you have freeze issues then that is another story.

I never believe a TMZ article but did some other searches and it is true. Makes you wonder what the real deal is. Life is short, make it fun.

Okay, will bypass timer and see how it goes. If that does the trick I am going to delete the timer and bypass to the tank instead.
