Another Sapphire unit upgrade

[Mikey P]

If your incoming pressure regulator isn't this...




Call Scott Harlib on Monday..

Why?

Why?

Kinda ridiculous that they are just doing this update now... For years we were all told to use one of these dumb things.

Why?

Those with older units before the pressurized waterbox, water would rush into the box and push the float down. This caused the machine to overflow and dump water under the van.

 

[Mikey P]

New units have had this regulator for a while now.

That is amazing, Butler has been installing a pressure regulator on every machine for 30 years.

Haven't you f----d Legend Brands enough?

I'm thinking I may need to upgrade to this. I'm having issues filling my waterbox, especially with dual wanding. I'll call when I have time. Anyone know how much this upgrade costs?

Sapphire was using the same type that Butler uses. They went with this model for easier adjustments and the ability to cut off the incoming water right at the regulator.

I would like to apologize for a post that I made on this thread. I purchased a new phone and did not realize that depending on the orientation of my screen that I could not see the caption on the thread. I responded to this without reading the title and would have deleted it if I could. I appreciate Sapphires willingness to continue upgrades on current model machines and wish them the best going forward.

Thank you Ron

I don't issues with my stock regulator when wanding alone but when I do it's a pain. I've taken it apart twice now trying to fix it, but I just think it isn't a good setup for dual wanding at 24 flow. It seems to restrict the water so much the water box empties faster than it can fill. It also does this when doing large jobs alone with the Zipper SS. Hoping this new regulator fixes that.

Did you install the new thermo valve kit?

No. But i did install a new thermal valve. That seems to be working correctly. When i call Scott i’ll get one.

I just ordered both upgrades yesterday. The pressure regulator was around 95.00 and the Water Box upgrade was around 170-180.00.
