    DIY meter door

    The timed load (white wire) from the timer goes to both terminals 10 and 20. 11 is for your first function clockwise from "STOP," and so on. Whichever are meant to be high pressure will need to be jumpered together on the 2x stack for the motor starter. If "SOAP" is on 13, motor will be on...

    Do you really need the cancel button? What timer do you have now?

    Pressure

    A 5CP2140 with a 5 HP motor can do close to 1800 PSI. The pump itself is rated to 2500 PSI. You should be able to get about 1500 PSI with a xx065, or 1700 PSI with a xx06 tip, without exceeding anything. If it won't reach those pressures with those tips, there's something wrong.

    Adding Monex readers

    Cutting oil definitely doesn't hurt, but FWIW I never use it with my method.

    You want Milwaukee cobalt bits for stainless. Like you said, push hard and go slow. Start with a small bit for a pilot hole, like 1/8", then either several larger bits or a step drill. The Bauer from Harbor freight are surprisingly good, and really cheap. Do not center punch for stainless...

    Anyone using Water Deionizer Systems? Insights Please!

    I've done this by bringing spot free water home and rinsing the windows with it. 100% effective.

    Cat 310 plunger cracks?

    If he's only got one broken plunger, it's worth $90 to replace.

    What's most difficult maintenance/ tech help, to get onsite?

    The hardest part is not dropping the lower seals down into the tank.

    Cat 310 plunger cracks?

    You need to replace it. Odds are really good that water is getting through the cracks, and it will eventually rust out the piston rod or get into the crankcase. You must also replace the o-ring, the backup ring, and the copper washer on the bolt. They are not intended to be tightened more...

    Vote: Do you answer................

    I never answer, 99% of the time it's spam. When I worked for a distributor, we sold bay menu signs and meter box door decals with the company's 800 number on them. For about a year we kept getting calls from a car wash's customers complaining about the wash, like one a week. It was in a...

    What's most difficult maintenance/ tech help, to get onsite?

    There's a local company that charges a small fortune for anything softener related. 30 years ago they put a USED head on a charcoal filter and charged TWICE what I can get a whole complete vessel for NOW.

    What was your worst customer?

    I won't allow any sort of cooking equipment anymore, between the mess, the stink, and the damage they do.

    Coleman 23000 Display

    If you also have shampoo vacs and fragrance vacs with the same timer, I'd recommend ordering the LED6S timer. They're $30 more but they work in everything, and you'd only need to keep one type spare on hand.

    Fleck Carbon Filter won't stop running water

    It shouldn't, but maybe it did, and handling it caused it to unstick. Is the time correct so it won't cycle during the day?

    Keep it up. I can take it. Can your "reputation?"
