Thank you so much for this. This is INCREDIBLY useful to people just starting out! Quick question. When priming the metering valve, should we fill those hoses up too? The way I see it: You filled up the inlet hose from the pump to the metering valve, but didn’t fill the hoses up from the metering valve to the tanks. Should we do that? Or could you explain this part a bit more please? Thank you so much!
Yeah so good question! The main thing that creates the most headache is the pump itself and the metering system outlet to the inlet of the pump. TYPICALLY, if those two items are filled then it will naturally draw. Now if you have a super long supply hose for both water and Chem you’ll probably have some issues and filling those hoses up with water or chemical would be beneficial. But I would try this method first and then go further if needed
@@MEIKLE02 so I don’t think it’s that much of an issue assuming everything else is OK. As long as there is the majority of that hose filled, that’s going to help the pump .
Just remove your gas tank and the fuel line running to the carburetor or to the fuel pump depending on what motor you have and then run a line from the big gas tank to your carburetor or your fuel pump.
Why does my ar 45 have a valve on the supply to reel and yours doesn’t? Im trying to install mine and that valve is in the way because i need that yellow hose to go upwards.
I got rid of it, it’s a major flow restriction and it’s not necessary for our industry. You can remove it! Then just get a 3/8” male pipe thread x 3/4 or 1/2” barb for your output hose to the reel! North Georgia airless also has these adapters in stock!
Hydroseal 1/2” threaded ball valve with a 1/2” Mosmatic swivel. Amazon sells the ball valve. Kleen rite sells the swivel Let me know if you have any other questions!
It reduces flow quite a bit. I HIGHLY recommend removing it. It’s the same exact process, all you do is take the black plastic piece off and keep the valve open when priming.
