    Fleck Meter issue?

    Thanks Cantbreak80, It is what I was looking for! Hopefully, we will resolve this "sort of kind of in house" ... not without honest effort ... but that is to be expected! Despite my AAAAs in English Classes ... I am just a dirty filthy bad bad bad grammer dawg ... I don't know why this hi...

    Fleck Meter issue?

    Rudy & others, I have a similar twin tank - one brine barrel setup as yours. I have a sneaking suspicion that we have been from the first day we installed the system that it has been using way too much salt which is terribly wasteful. I still have not seen a straight forward way of...

    RFID also for Inventory & Asset Management Purposes???

    I am pretty sure that some Car Wash distributors, manufacturers & even some of us at the car wash operations level have implemented not just barcode tags ... but the "not needing line of sight" passive RFID coded tags. Any words of wisdom when it comes to using that nifty technology ... mainly...

    Poll: Biden vs. Trump's era

    SJB ... well said. Just so there are "best possible for 'we the people'" universal safeguards for future election processes over the world & especially here in the USA! To see "foxes in the henhouse" blocking & sabotaging looking at election hard drive logs that have been proven to reveal...

    Electric cars

    Not sure on the initial cost-expense price comparison but the below may be the wave of the future ... especially for larger "more power & longevity power required" vehicles etc...

    Replacement for Ginsan Pump Stand 24v reset switch

    MEP001, Just like Mouser says a simple reset button for whatever is included in its circuit ... it does not look like it can lever disconnect its included circuit like the "lever style" ones that I linked to. Is that the exact specific style of breaker that Dan K was referring to? Back in the...

    Nayax voltage

    Under its load the transformer might have a lower reading? That might be a consideration factor. You'd think the manufacturer would show an acceptable range on their specifications? Some tech support over the phone etc is better than others ... the techie might be going to a CWA extreme???

    Replacement for Ginsan Pump Stand 24v reset switch

    Can't say that I agree with you on your comment ... possibly you can elaborate a bit for others besides myself? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Allen-Bradley-1492-WFB4-Fuse-Holder-Clear-Indicator-1492WFB4-/323776539176 Here is another similar lever disconnecting fuse holding device from Omega...

    Replacement for Ginsan Pump Stand 24v reset switch

    FWIW ... I wonder how many of us car wash operators use din rails??? With our dog wash redo we are now using some nifty din rail Allen Bradley lever style 5x20mm fuse holders. Time will tell ... on what the specific advantages that approach turns out to be overall though. It does combine a...

    Need a PLC

    John Spokas, APW & others, Good point. I notice that by using a good quality PLC-HMI you can also eliminate even more wires on some projects.

    Need Help Finding Replacement Century AC Motor

    Is that motor paired with or without a flex coupler with ... what kind of specific pump? For re-pressurization to the bays or for forcing through the spot free membrane for the make up RO water over to the make up water tank

    Need a PLC

    APW & others, Whether you are going to a PLC or just settle with your relay approach ... it is IMHO a good idea to separate all of the distinct voltage circuits on a basic ladder logic diagram. That just consists of simple rungs showing where & how a circuit within a specific voltage circuit...

    More floor heat help

    Those old style aquastats & thermostats tend to not have the ability to "tweak" the turn off point & the turn on point (differential). That is why we replaced most of those that we had with more modern temperature digital controls.

    More floor heat help

    slash007, There are non invasive ways for some HVAC people to check to see if the pump's impeller is still capable of its original flow or if the pump to motor flex coupler is properly engaging 100%. We don't regret putting in Gerand Flow ball valves (with test ports) everywhere at our...

    Electric cars

    Since a generator was mentioned: I just scouted out a natural gas generator price-wise for my house ... total (with installation) costs were very high. Especially if generator chosen had enough wattage to charge an EV within a reasonable amount of time.

    Minimum Volt Amp Transformer for 1 bay with 10 push button

    Keno ... a thorough amp draw test ... with hopefully the maximum plausible # of devices turned on the circuit is a good idea IMHO. Especially if you have a employee with a clipboard to help assist to make the data collection process more straight forward. A non invasive clamp on meter is by...

    solar street/lot lighting

    I set up a nifty solar lit sign some years ago. The battery for the solar will eventually go out. Be sure & make it so it's battery or battery bank is positioned so it can be easily & quickly replaced.

    Minimum Volt Amp Transformer for 1 bay with 10 push button

    Keno, Just so you are aware that because of more precise protection ... the 4 amp is the better choice IMHO.

    Do You Post Political Signs?

    I am pretty sure that a worthwhile percentage of forum members will agree that there is a "substance over form" factor anytime anybody makes the effort & time to communicate. Hopefully, most of us are able to see through unnecessary "gaslighting" techniques that show up occasionally during...
