HELP from people with hydramist!

koreano10is · 03-03-2007, 06:32 PM

hey i finally picked up my hydramist and the wires coming out of the pump dont look right there are 2 wires, the red and black one but the black one has a bunch of copper wires sticking out of it but the red one has something that connects to something else... is this normal or should the black wire have something covering the copper wires

Here is the install instructions from Elements website:

Are you using it with the Hydra (pretty sure you have to)?

Sounds like you need shop to install this. You sound clueless.

Yea, that install looks pretty involved too.

did you receive the flux capacitor? that connects to the thing on the red wire.

the red cord came with a connector at the end but the black one game with just copper wires hanging out... is this normal?

The black "cord" is your ground which usually goes onto a bolt; it should have a circle-type connector end. The red "cord" with the "copper wires hanging out" is your positive. It can go onto a power source many ways. This is why the "copper wires" are "hanging out"; you can put all sorts of connectors on the "copper wires". Now, I don't have a hydramist kit, but this is a typical setup IMO.

I REALLY think you should take it to a shop. A meth kit is not something to try your virgin-mechanic-hands on.

The install intructions on Elements website are very detailed.

But yea, if your worried about a wire b/c it does not have an end crimped on it, this speaks volumes.....take it to a shop.

i was planning on taking it to world one to get it installed anyways because there's no way in hell i'm gonna try and do it myself.. they said it would take them 8 hours of labor because you have to tie it in with the hydra and that takes long......

but i just wanted to know if i had to return it because the cord was messed up thanks for all the help!
