    Help with VFD for SS

    IMHO ... before most of us get too deep with a possible misunderstanding of the "specs" ... we should try to "get in writing" with a correctly authorized person at ABB-Baldor to try to avoid a situation where they could deny a possible future unforeseen warranty situation ... based solely on the...

    Help with VFD for SS

    I could be wrong but I am having trouble seeing where Baldor states &/or certifies their regular lower priced motors as inverter ready??? No offense intended. True inverter duty motors tend to be more expensive to the best of my limited information gathering ... that is not to say that some of...

    Help with VFD for SS

    We setup the parameters for three Hitachi WJ200s for our 2HP inverter duty motors about 10 years ago fo our laundromat's 902-1092 g force "spin very close to dry" extractors. A word of caution: We were warned because of the slower speeds that the VFDs may make the motors run slower to always...

    Futura Vehicle Wash Systems

    FuturaFan, The jpg files of the 1990 catalog that I sent back about a year agon on this specific thread were taken with my Samsung Note cell phone camera with some noticeable light-glare issues Unlike possibly some others .... I 🤷‍♂️ do not believe you are crazy. You just happen to have an...

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    The valve being half shut possibly added to less heat dissipation? Too much external flame with not enough cooling off from proper flow on the external heat exchanger??? Our stage fired Hydro-Multipulse boilers have internal combustion chambers. We learned the hard way from a too little flow...

    WorldPay/CryptoPay Fees

    I have noticed an increasing trend towards some of the umbrella root corporations ... who just expect their distributor or an original setup company to handle more & more of the ongoing managing & whatever support is needed.

    Discounts Based on Payment Methods

    Just passing on FWIW ... what a poster on the coin laundry association forum just posted this morning during a discussion of recovering lost gross revenue from credit card &/or phone app "merchant fees". Granted ... in some geographical areas it might make sense to offer a "discount for cash"...

    Accounting software.

    Not a good fit for everyone but using the Microsoft 365 Pro that includes Access along with an older version of Access makes sense for us. As much as I squirm sometimes with Microsoft ... to their credit older versions (2002) of Access still work in even Windows 11. There are some file...

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    Just to add to GoBuckeye's post ... there should be some attention to the "root cause" of the "sooting". Not the least of which ... could be the original installer not having adequate "away from obstructions" in line with the top of the vertical vent pipe! A top notch HVAC person &/or a great...

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    In that specific case of the relental property ... they cleaned the heat exchanger within some 80% efficient Hydrotherm hydronic boiler. It would be nice if you would quit trying to gaslight posters who post in "good faith"!

    Bill changer monitoring

    I believe Standard 600EFs had variations of that capability via the serial connection optional cabling. I am not sure if their latest product still does though. A database IT wizard could very possibly poll hopper levels & provide a level warning remotely on a remotely controlled app. It...

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    Eric ... has make up air ... negative air pressure ever been an issue during the life of this specific boiler. My thoughts based on a 1980 400K boiler not ever showing signs of burner assembly etc soot. I remember when I was involved in some rental property of having to needing internal...

    Dollar coins, tokens, and vending

    SJB & others, I hope the token approach works out for you & others ... one caveat that is known by some of us old timers ... is that there might be a "danger of another business's similar token in the specific geographic location" if the tokens & coin mech does not have enough security feature...

    No Pressure for Spot Free to 1 SS Bay

    Jim, I am assuming that you have a basic electrical multimeter. If you do not have a schematic to follow ... so you can eliminate an electrical issue ... then try to get one online or emailed to you from whoever the equipment manufacturer is. When & if you exhaust that option ... try to find...

    Dollar coins, tokens, and vending

    Keith Baker, I agree no laughing matter! Since I have a very large number of first cousins out Randy's way ... one of whom was murdered at a very young age ... my heart does go out to them & others ... including Randy! Because of unintended consequences ... I am definitely with local law...

    Poll: Biden vs. Trump's era

    I shudder & cringe ... when I read on the CLA Laundry Forum about the areas .... where owners have their large number of commercial clothes dryers on something other than natural gas. They definitely take a hit by way of both less performance & cost!

    My friend Eric H & Good Moody, I have 2 phone numbers on OOMA ... also another phone # on TextNow. Neither have to be on a paid subscription. I did spring for the $99 yearly subscription for each of my two OOMA TELOS ... because I felt the extra features were worth it to my specific facility...

    Poll: Biden vs. Trump's era

    I heard the current corrupt as hell federal admin is trying to stop LAWFULLY AUTHORIZED POLL WATCHERS from even politely asking if the person is a citizen ... like as if that is a form of election harassment.
