    Handy Tool For Carwash

    The charge station is at home in my garage. No way do I have any room for something like that in my ER either! You are not alone!

    Handy Tool For Carwash

    If they would have been Makita, I would have staked the claim! I really like my Makita line up and 80v Kobalt Weed eater! Yea, no more extension cords or gas-powered weed eaters for me!! When my wifes HF 40v Lynx leaf blower battery fails, its getting retrofitted with (2) Makita Hobby...

    Handy Tool For Carwash

    I've had LED rechargeable lights like this in the past, but kept getting burned by them either not lasting long enough, or never charged when I need them...Its much easier to just pop in a new battery when one drops below useful limit....As you can see, I have a few spares!

    Makita does make a USB charge adapter for their batteries, but don't have much use for one! Makita ADP05 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Power Source, Power Source Only - - Amazon.com

    Handy Tool For Carwash

    Changing it up a bit for today....I haven't found a more handy tool for the CW and thought I'd share....I made (2) of these flashlights a few years ago from 12-18v LED Off Road LED flood lights I found on Ebay. About $10 each....Most name brand Lithium Power tools have "Hobby Adapters" available...

    Weep Temp Off at night

    What side of the building did you put the second sensor? It must be the north side. I have floor heat with a sensor (for coin box heaters) next to the ER. Sometimes I see as much as 10 deg difference between the weepmiser sensor and the one inside the bay. I only have one sensor, you might take...

    Cordless Dremel recommendation

    Some things are a waste of $$. How hard is it to pick the battery up and push a button to check how much capacity is left?! Doubt if they would get any of my money for that feature!

    Random Hydrominder Issues, any tips or tricks?

    Was on vacation and soap quit working because of a clogged screen. Wasn't easy trying to work through the issue with the guy I hired to look after the wash. Seems like nothing ever breaks down till I go out of town!

    Cordless Dremel recommendation

    I'm a Makita fan. What matters is you stick with a good name brand so you only have to have one kind of battery. I have at least a dozen 6ah batteries, all with indicator lights. Makes keeping them fully charged a lot easier.

    Foam Brush Hose

    The crimping tool Mep linked to is the one I use. Seems to work well as long as you have the right barb fitting and ferrule.

    Random Hydrominder Issues, any tips or tricks?

    Or you can put 1/2" mesh strainers on each hydrominder and use standard garden hose washers....I got burnt by the screen washers and this fixed it!

    Thoughts on check valves at the booms

    Probably not the answer you are looking for, but I will answer based on the wording of the topic...I eliminated as many C/V's in the attic as I possibly could. I only have (4) left for SFR which tee's in above the bay...I could get rid of them if I wanted to tee-in inside the ER, but would take...

    Foam Brush Hose

    I use 3/8" ID Goodyear Black air hose on all LP functions. Even have it outside in the truck bay. I can't remember the last time I've changed a hose and have never found it kinked. Using the right swivels help.

    Fuses for the bay keep blowing

    The fuses only protect what's on the load side of the fuse. From the looks of the video, you only have the contactor, overload, and the motor that can possibly be the "Electrical" issue or possibly a loose wire on the load side of the fuses. Even a single lose wire can cause more than one fuse...

    Fuses for the bay keep blowing

    Have you tried putting an amp clamp on each leg of the three phase to see if the load is the same?

    Freeze Stat / Trough Heat Stat

    CB80 turned me on to these Ebay T-stat controllers a few years ago. I had battled the thermal discs for years that turned on the coin box heaters in the winter...So I decided to use this digital T-stat Controller to power a separate circuit that controlled all my coin box heaters...I also...

    Ginsan weep mizer upgrade

    Another option would be to remove the PS from the HP wand and put it on its own foam gun....It allows you to get rid of each of the bay weep shutoff solenoids when PS is selected. It also eliminates 3 CV's above each bay....Only down side is you have to install a blowdown/winterizing system for...

    Electroswitch rotary trouble

    I found the old thread where I found these hex seals on Digikey...Mep said he had got them from Etowah Valley but they were expensive, even back then...The Electroswitch seems to have a very odd thread, one I've never seen before. Its a 15/32-32 thread. Don't ask how I found this hex seal on...
