  • Page 24: Thermostatic Water Mixing Valve

    5.2.4 Thermostatic Water Mixing Valve The EVOLUTION water temperature is maintained by providing hot water to the unit or installing the optional water heater. The water temperature is maintained with a Thermostatic Water Mixing Valve. The water temperature is set to 70 degrees coming from the factory, this is what the water temperature will be at the nozzle providing adequate hot water is supplied to the unit. This temperature can be adjusted at the mixing valve. Locking Screw Adjusting Knob To adjust the preset water temperature on the EVOLUTION follow these steps: 1. Loosen the locking screw by backing out approx. 1/2 inch. 2. Pull the adjusting knob out towards the front of the unit. 3. Turn the EVOLUTION on using the operator’s key, select rinse, press nozzle button. 4. Turn the adjusting knob counter clockwise while feeling the water coming from nozzle. 5. Once you are satisfied with the water temperature, reverse the steps above. 5.2.5 Water Pressure Regulator The Water Pressure Regulator is located on the Water Manifold and is used to restrict the flow of water through the system to protect the animals being washed. The recommended incoming water pressure should be Min. 20 PSI – Max. 60 PSI. The Acme EB35 ½ Pressure Reducing Valve (Water Regulator) is preset from the factory at 45 PSI. Water Manifold Press Regulator Shut Off Valve Thermostatic Valve Typically water that is comfortable to humans is too hot for animals, do not make water too warm. Caution should be used when adjusting this valve not to exceed a pressure greater than the animal can tolerate. Evolution Dog Wash Owners/Operators Manual Page 24...

  • Page 25: Solenoid Maintenance

    To adjust the water pressure lift the orange Range Adjustment Knob upward, turn counterclockwise (-) to decrease pressure and clockwise (+) to increase the pressure. Snap the orange knob back down after adjusting. In the event that maintenance is required on the reducing valve, close the isolating valve prior to the reducer before performing any maintenance. Use a wrench to unscrew the Pressure Reducing Cartridge. Remove the cartridge by pulling straight up. Clean cartridge with cold water only. Clean and/or replace the Strainer Screen before re- installing the cartridge. Screw the cartridge back into the Valve Body and re-tighten to the following torque: 10 lb/ft. Be careful not to over tighten the cartridge and risk cracking the valve body. 5.2.6 Solenoid Maintenance The water solenoid valve controls the flow of water through the EVOLUTION. It is a positive shutoff valve, controlled by the electromagnetic coil on the valve. Once power has been applied to the coil the valve will allow water to flow thru the unit and out the wash gun hose and wash gun, providing the push button has been pushed on the wash gun. Once power has Solenoid Valve been removed the solenoid will close and no water will flow. In the event that water continues to come out the wash gun after the solenoid has been de-activated there is a good chance that trash in the valve is preventing it from completely closing. This can be caused by improper clean up from plumbing connections, trash in the system, or most likely a build-up of calcium deposits from “hard water”. The following procedures will lead you through correcting this problem. 1. Remove the coil from the valve by loosening the screw on top of the coil. 2. Remove the stem by loosening the large brass nut on the solenoid body. 3. Once you have the nut loose, then carefully pull on the stem to remove the plunger. Place hand under valve to catch any falling parts.
  • Page 26 4. As you will see on the plunger it is shaped with a point. The point goes into the seat and seals off the pressure on the valve. Clean any debris from the seat and point on the plunger. The seat can be removed by grabbing the raised portion and lifing out. Turn the seat over and observe the small orifice hole in the seat, this is most likely where trash will be found. 5. Once any trash has been removed then re-assemble the solenoid by reversing the above steps. Evolution Dog Wash Owners/Operators Manual Page 26...
