    Help choosing soft water system

    At one wash I don't have soft water and want to add it so that I can have spot free, and also just soft water in general for all other functions. It is a six bay with no automatics. How do I know what size system I need? I see some with one tank and others with dual tanks. 1 would save...

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand-part 2

    Ahh. Now I get it for some reason lol. Since the soap, wax and pre-soak run through the pump, they are getting the hot water from the gravity fed tank. The rest of the functions like tri-foam etc. don't need the hot water and are fed solely from the hydrominder tank. Makes sense now. Thanks.

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand-part 2

    It is the same wash. I didn't plan on circulating the hot water, I found that it will warm up quickly once people start washing anyway. I'm thinking about running hot water to both the holding tank and the manifold that supplies all of the hydrominders. Is there a reason that the hydrominders...

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand

    The extra outlets are a nice bonus. If you're ever in the area, stop by! I'll do the same:) Pump wise, I had actually met Greg at the show and that is what got me interested in their pumps. It was one of the last booths that I stopped at before I headed home and I had just happened to pass...

    I plan on using fittings and hose to hook up the water lines... So that thermostat controlled the boiler?

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand

    I ordered 6 516 pumps, figured I would just go all new. No point in having two unknown old cat pumps.

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand-part 2

    After looking at it, the spot free does not run through the pump. Only wax, soap and pre-soak. Instead of a separate cat pump, there is a rocket looking pump mounted on the rear that works with a solenoid block in the RO front and sends it out to the bay at medium pressure. there are two of...

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand-part 2

    So basically if it's on rinse, water is coming from the red line. If using soap or wax or pre-soak, then the red line is off and all the water is coming from the tank? That makes sense and explains it. So rinse would be cold water, the rest use the hot water from the tank. Thanks! I've sure...

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand-part 2

    Your right. I meant the blue hose goes to the pump, the red HP hose goes to the pump solenoids below. So is cold water from the Red HP hose and hot water from the rinse tank mix then go to the pump via the blue hose? The check valve prevents water from going up into the rinse tank... right...

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand-part 2

    Thanks for the clarifying Eric. I know that I have turned it down to 300psi and it was fine, so that ruled out the Adams. Mep, I think I had it wrong. The solenoid in the picture is probably for the spot free. The pump solenoids are all GC valves and are at the bottom, not by the pump. So no...

    Foam Brush Hose

    I uses those hoses and restricters for a while and they were crap. I switched to the hose with the long clear restrictor that doesn't' move, and they last a long time. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-11210-15-blue-38-foamy-hose-38-mpe-38-mse.aspx#

    Steve, nice setup. I like that you can replace the pump head without having to remove a million items. Takes me forever to switch it out.

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand-part 2

    Thanks for your thoughts. I do have 3 bays on each side, so it is not too long. I have the same setup on a 5 bay that are all in a row, so I'll check and see how it does over there. Regarding the solenoid valve, the DEMA 453p says it's rated at 1200 psi. If I want to run my pumps at 1300, do...

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand-part 2

    Since my first thread turned into a pump war lol, I wanted to start another thread with a couple of questions... I have a question on RO membranes. I want to change the 2 membranes before I install it, but not sure if I should get the cold or hot water versions. I will be using hot water, but...

    While you guys debate pumps, I have a question on membranes lol. I want to change the 2 membranes before I install it, but not sure if I should get the cold or hot water versions. I will be using hot water, but I know that some people use the cold water version regardless. Pros/cons to each...

    Will do, thanks guys. Is KleenRite the best place to buy these, or can they be had cheaper elsewhere?

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand

    The heads might already be washed out lol. I bought the stand after it sat for a year, so I never saw it in action. Do you know what pulley I would need for the 516 pump? Or is there just one? What about the motor pulley. Would I have to replace that one as well if I wanted to run at 1300?

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand

    That is what I was leaning towards. Would you get 4 and keep the 2 cats, or go ahead and replace all six? Also, what pressure do you run yours on Pat? Thanks.

    Advice on pumps, rebuilding pump stand

    I just bought a used six bay JC Super Saver pump stand. It is in good shape, but missing 4 of the pumps/pulleys. The motors are all there and they are 5hp 3phase. The two pumps that are there are Cat 5cp2120 pumps. Since I have to buy new pumps/pulleys, I am wondering if I should stick with...
