Greg, The American Funds have a piece based on the time period that the dow went nowhere for a decade 1972-1982. While the dow went nowhere that particular fund went up 8.9% per anum. That piece is called the ICA guide and almost any stockbroker will have it. I would recommend any investor or...

I'm convinced that the rejection rate on my Rowe bill rejectors cost me a ton of ss business since we opened. I switched to Mars last year and the difference is quite noticable.

Lavando, What is the trick to getting the cylinders apart to rebuild them? I've tried a couple of time and been frustrated so I quit.

I'd just throw it away and get a Mars.

Congrats Mark. 2008 is going to be a great year for you guys! Jim

Turns out my unit has 2 membranes. I had it adjusted today though and it seems to be doing better. No lines today so it's hard to tell. Maybe I'll squeeze another year or 2 out of the membranes. It's just mind boggling how much I still don't know after nearly 5 years!

I assume the prefilter is the other tube back there. What exactly do you mean by "replace the carbon"? I have never looked inside the tubes.

I ordered the membrane Friday. Is there anything I need to know about changing it? It is a JC unit. Thx

Mine is nearly 5 years old and has had very little done as far as maintenance. The belts don't squeal nor do the bearings. There is some but not a lot of play in the belts. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to tighten or replace them. My Curtis came with the car wash package. I would guess that shipping...

Thanks Jim. I found 1 at a hydraulics shop in the next town over. I had 6 different breaks in 1 bay. Every time I would fix one I'd find another. Don't know what happened to the weep but I hope it doesn't happen again!

Is there such a thing as a screw-on swivel? I need a swivel to tighten the hose back and nobody in town has one.

One of my bays froze today. I thought that I would just wait till tomorrow when it warms up and all would be well. Not so much. I just was leaving for the evening and noticed water dripping from the ceiling. I climbed my fat a$$ up there and the hose is split right where it screws into the top...

We're running them thru the auto as fast as we can today and it is working ok. I just felt the motor and it was a little warm while it was running but I'm really not sure if that is normal or not. The guy at Curtis talked like that motor was fairly indestructible.

BTW it has a 3 phase Baldor motor. That thing should last forever don't you think?

I turned up the little dial that will allow it to draw a little more amperage. It seems to be ok. It's in the mid 40's in the equp. room. I did turn up the heat a little bit. I had 1 of those pressure activated "spitters" on it that wasn't working but that was not my problem. I may need new...

It is a Curtis 3hp 3phase. I talked to Curtis and they said it is likely pulling too many amps. It's about 11 degrees here, that may be part of the problem. I turned down the pressure settings and it is now cycling. It's snowing now so I have no business but we have 7 pretty decent car washing...

My compressor keeps shutting itself off. When I hit the reset button it comes right back on. I don't see anything wrong. Any suggestioons as to where to look? I don't even know who to call to look at a compressor. Thx J

I recycle my waste into my rinse tank so I get to use some of it but I still waste a lot. My auto business is much better than my ss. The membrane is 4.5 years old so I would say that is not bad. S I can get the membrane from KR? Is there a better place. Thx J

I've used about 100 gallons from my storage tank today. It historically keeps up with demand.
