Lots to learn about the different ways to rework heads here: (Along with photos)...I have 2 heads in service that I used the SS inserts method (Not Pressed in) with orings and have never had issues with either head. The critical part is to get the chamfer just right on the SS sleeve washer for...

Also, the experience I had using curly hose...I didn't like them. Always a tangled mess and had problems with freezing in the winter even with the winterizing/purge system. Switched them out to straight 3/8 air hose and fixed both issues...

With a 2 second air purge between chemicals, product is flowing by the time the customer makes it from the coin box to the foam gun. The 2 second air purge has multiple functions. The biggest is the noise it makes to let the customer know where TF/PS is being dispensed! It also helps in the...

Do I have my pressure set too high?!?

I use the double 180° booms from KR. Been installed for about 10 years and no problems so far. FB is on the left, TF/PS Foam Gun on the right. Kleen-Rite Corporation - Double Stainless Steel Wall-Mount Boom Assembly (kleen-ritecorp.com)

These are reasonable if you don't mind waiting a few weeks to get them from China...Omron H3Y-2 off Ebay...They come in many different time values. I get the 0-3 second ones and set all LP (chemical side only) to 2 seconds delay. Mostly for winter use to keep from winterizing a hose when someone...

You can also use "delay on" relays if that's what you're after.

We have frequent main breaks during the winter...Our crews never turn off the water flow. Normally the pipes twist but are still in-tack, but spraying water like you've never seen once they've dug down to the break. The crew then draws straws to see who gets to get in the hole to fix the leak...

Pretty Self Explanatory...It free's up both hands to align the pulley's to bolt the pump or motor down...

Cheap and Cheesy....But works great in a pinch! Worked so well, I didn't have to go buy the commercial model!

I made mine out of a turnbuckle (With loops/eyes) and 2 pieces of 1/2" plywood. Cut a small vee or radius in each of the pieces of plywood and bolt the plywood to the turnbuckle. Makes it easy to custom fit to your pully spacing. There's no way I'd tighten belts without something to hold in...

But when you compare most Ebay items with "Free Shipping" to the high cost of KR shipping.....To me there's a huge difference!

I get ALL my push connects off Ebay. You'll save a fortune!

I have John Guest fittings too. No failures using them. I would use either in similar applications.

I'll vouch for the SMC fittings. CB80 told me about them years ago. Just took a manifold apart that was plumbed with these fittings that had PS running through it for over 4 years. Absolutely no visible wear that I could see or by measuring with calipers. Never have had a fitting leak, air or...

What's the point in that? I have a flow meter for each bay PS and FB...That way I can set flows "Equally" to each bay regardless of Head Pressure difference from the tubing length to each bay.

From what I've read lately, 6# yields 20,000 grains and 8# yields 24,000 grains per Cubic Foot...About 10% loss in efficiency going from 6# to 8#. Here is a link that has a table that shows efficiency at different salt settings. https://www.apswater.com/water_softener_capacity.asp

I've also thought about getting a 1/4" NPT SS air manifold and mounting the individual KIP SS metering solenoids to it with push connects and poly tubing....But still have the issue of the metering valve on the side and you couldn't get to it. The only thing you could do is space the ports out...

I know what you are saying and know what it looks like, but this manifold never dripped...The leak got passed the center oring. Had to be. The SS seat part looked perfect, not at all like the one you posted a picture of. Plus I changed the whole SS assembly with new on the affected bay...Along...

No defect....There are 2 o'rings that seat against the brass block. The 2 shiny areas are where the o'rings seat. Fluid comes up through the brass from the 2 smaller holes and up into the SS seat with the plunger. When the plunger lifts, it allows flow back down the larger center hole in the...
