    Best thread sealant?

    That's why I use them. I've been working on a lot of the same washes for 30 years. In another 20 I don't want to still be messing with rusted non-working swivels.

    Best thread sealant?

    Anti seize is definitely not a bad idea. They usually come apart fine if they're in the room. If they're at the boom in the bay, I usually have to cut the hose and replace the crimp fitting. I still use them, but only use stainless ones.

    Chattering issue HP

    Rex is the idiot who built and installed his equipment. It was intended to be rude. I still deal with his stupidity, just not every day like I used to.

    Anyone using Water Deionizer Systems? Insights Please!

    Air compressor pressure switch issue

    It's not the amperage. The knob is just there as a convenient way to stop the compressor. It is in no way electrically relevant. Something is just making the knob turn, either vibration or the switch itself opening. I've seen before on a compressor where when it's running the knob is loose...

    Reverse osmosis. If this is for home use, you might want to look on DIY car washing forums. This one is mainly for professional car wash owners/operators. The equipment we use costs tens of thousands of dollars.

    I don't think he has an RO system or he wouldn't be asking about DI.

    Issues with a new SecureCoin

    I never messed with the SecureCoin units that didn't work, but the first one was by far the most reliable and the least finicky.

    Air compressor pressure switch issue

    Remove the cover and break the knob off. It's probably throwing itself over. The knob just stops the switch from closing, removing it won't affect anything.

    CryptoPay flashing yellow

    From the CryptoPay site: Flashing Yellow: Out of Service Mode. Card reader will not accept a card swipe. All Self Service Bay and Vacuum card readers are shipped in this mode. Does this swiper need to be activated by them?

    Self Serv Bay SOAPS.

    Yup, but you won't like it. It's expensive and has to be blended.
