Not sure when you're heading this way, but I'll be around for another week and half maybe two, then heading back down toward Mexico. Have a place to stay there thats about 3-4 miles from the Mexico border. (aka Hubs of _ell).
Not to far from I-80 just 2 miles south at the 97 mile marker. Yell loud.
Thats kind of funny, I had to come back for that stupid court thing, thought it was going to snow, but didn't. If its not going to snow, I'll pay up some bills and I'm heading back south.
I'll email Ph # and address.
Ok..if this happens, it will be Tues. or Wed. of this coming week. Be looking for your info.
Just finished $400 repair work on each of the RTV sprayers I built 3-4 months ago. I had to dig thru 6" of rock salt to find the pumps? Wiring to the pump pressure switches had melted the pump housing. An extra hot wire had been added to the pump switches? Battery boxes that still had the box lid only had 1/4" of salt brine in the battery box. The ones where the lids were gone had 1/2" salt brine in them. The relay wiring was completely green with corrosion or had completely rotted off. The weather tight junction box had enough salt brine in to short out and melt the electrical box itself. The electrical quick connect was fused solid, and could not be pulled apart. Abused and not taken care of obviously? Almost seems like they are flooding the sprayers when filling or using the brine to melt the snow off the sprayers?
The question I get is......are the pumps under warranty? Yes, they are. For defect but not abuse or neglect.
I do not like to have to think of ways to make things idiot proof, but here I am again.

The larger of the two sprayers was repaired approx 3 weeks ago, just posting (venting) now. I get a call today. They burned up one of the pumps, Are they under warranty? Well I guess they are not showering the pumps now with salt brine. They are using the sprayers to spray weeds and fertilizer. OK.
My guess? Probably showering them with different chemicals or exceeding the duty cycle?
I'm starting to think these guys should go back to a gravity feed and a manual valve.

Haha. Sounds like you are baby sitting kids in school. Most people I come in contact with have very little sense of responsibility when it comes to preventive maintenance. Flip the switch, if it works, ok. Otherwise, it's not mine, I don't care, someone else can worry about it. I know it's frustrating, and time consuming, and you feel responsible since you sold it to them I guess. Good luck. I happened to run across a new 1000 gallon poly storage tank today for $500.00. I think I will buy it. Wanna start preparing for next season now, so it will be finished. Have all my totes full now, but that's not near enough to do me for the winter. If I lived closer to you, I would purchase from your inventory. I figure I sprayed approx. 5,000 gallons, and I started end of December I guess.
