    Guy says 1000psi stripped his paint

    We did pay $20 one time to a guy who noticed that our low pressure tire/motor slightly leaked from our center boom area directly on the top center of his vehicle. It was a long time ago ... I know that where it landed is was not painted ... it was possibly the type of material that is on a...

    Help Identifying Changer Model

    Glen, If you can talk to the right tech at Standard ... you should be able to get exactly what you need to order. For sure Kris Kious (long term techie overseer) will have that information. BTW ... IMHO ... anything 600 is not antique since I am pretty sure there are still 500 (circa 1987)...

    High leg smoked all 3 vacuum motors

    Based on experience, the local power company will typically put a monitoring device on with your meter. I agree that 130VAC alone should not have smoked the motors. The monitoring should tell the power company exactly what their transformers were & maybe still are doing. I do have smoked...

    Airlift PowerGlide that fell from the ceiling

    ScottV, I did not study that specific mounting that well ... not sure if possible ... but we try to make sure on anything on the ceiling is with a strong stainless bolt clear through with at least one lock nut on the other side of the bolt. For our heavy Z booms especially ... even though it...

    Guy says 1000psi stripped his paint

    Based on the specific facts presented by CW316, I agree with Randy. Too much risk of some "poor judgement adjustor" just rolling over & paying. Another consideration is just being counted as a "refused to pay" claim for some insurance companies ... some insurers have proven to factor in their...

    Guy says 1000psi stripped his paint

    I had an experience where a guy was complaining his baked on bugs were not coming off his brand new plastic bumpered car. Being the extra helpful 😊 person that I am ... I showed him by holding the pressure closer ... the bugs will come off. BAD IDEA ... the coating -paint on the plastic or...

    Who is really running the country?

    Mac & others, Hopefully not ... but just in case any of you are thinking that the current main stream media & the rhinos are playing with a full deck & that Rudy G, Sidney P, Pat B & mike lindell are off base: Ponder this below 2006 CNN Clip ... just one many concrete examples of danger both...

    Hooking up old water well

    Just to clarify. What I would do if it I was in the "high stakes worthy of fighting" situation that our fellow forum member Bricks is in. I would first try to tap into the best possible independent expertise just in case of a possible refusal to allow the well by the city ... in order that I...

    Hooking up old water well

    I would tread carefully using that approach. IMHO, some local prosecutors can be worse than others when it comes to the "ignorance of the law excuses no one" conundrum!!! Randy could be right ... maybe the potential penalty would be worth the risk???

    Mechanical to Electronic Coin Mech Conversion

    I wonder if some of the better coin mechs & timers will work on a 24VAC transformer or a 24VDC brick style power supply. I know I have some relay coils & LED pilot lights that are capable of both. I found some stocked ones at Digikey: 625mA GS15U-6P1J MEAN WELL USA Inc. | Power Supplies -...

    Tips on painting the awning / fascia

    We have our large Fascia Front where we had some customer damaged panels anyway. We had a sheet metal shop fabricate the ones we needed & ... at the time ... our neighbor & friend was a body shop. They prepped the panels & did an automotive paint job on them. It was very similar to a factory...

    Mechanical to Electronic Coin Mech Conversion

    Randy & others make perfect sense in terms of adding a small 24VAC transformer & a mercury relay. I happened to have extra X20s & MA800s that turned out to be not good enough for out in the bays & were too large to update our 32 laundromat washing machines ... so we gambled & put them on our...

    RO membrane filter

    Thanks fellow trooper MEP001, Point taken ... not sure how much more the functional equivalent in a stainless Procon Pump would cost $$$. Brass could make better sense considering it is the booster pump that is not pumping the actual more aggressive to brass already made up RO water like the...

    RO membrane filter

    Does anybody have a link to the specific all stainless Procon pump - motor combo that make the most sense for 50-60 PSI showing on the gauge just before pump for the water coming from our laundromat's Fleck water softener setup. The other variable is just one 4X40 inch membrane for production...

    bill breaker that tell status remotely

    What is the price tag on the EF+? Just curious. On the bill breaker ... also wondering about the success of the "bill recycling feature"?

    RO membrane filter

    Would the below be the best choice for an operator with a 4X40 inch RO membrane??? https://www.zoro.com/flint-walling-pump-1-hp-1-phase-115230v-14-stage-pb1014a101/i/G4557226/#specifications The above to my uneducated eye seems possibly on the skimpy side in terms of maximum pressure of only...

    RO membrane filter

    It is a multistage Tonkaflow Pump direct driven by a 1 HP Baldor Motor. The only purpose of that specific pump is to increase the pressure & flow through the Cellulose Acetate Membrane during RO water make up to the 90 gallon RO storage tank. It was part of Specialty Equipment's original Spot...

    RO membrane filter

    [/QUOTE="cantbreak80] A typical 1 cu ft carbon tank is 9" x 48" ...same as a 1 cu ft water softener. The least expensive tank would be equipped with a manual back flushing valve for monthly "fluffing" of the AGC. I favor Structural (Pentair) or Clack mineral tanks. They are fabricated from high...

    RO membrane filter

    What would be involved ... to find & then add a "manual back flushing valve" like cantbreak80 noted? I'd hate to experiment like a royal dummy & learn the hard way of potentially losing charcoal through the outlet. I heard of a laundromat who once had their water softener mineral somehow...

    RO membrane filter

    Anybody care to suggest a preferred housing to buy where the 1 cubic foot of activated charcoal would be placed in. It seems like housing should make it not too difficult to replace the charcoal & the in & out port should be durable ... preferable stainless steel constructed???
