    D & S Vendor problems

    You goofed. That thing is a p.o.s.!! Make that a huge p.o.s. I moved spirals to different positions, installed the little clips. No matter what you do, it hangs up frequently. It is just simply the poorest of designs. At one of the trade shows I complained to these guys, and they informed...

    Water Damage to Mars bill validators in IVS Vacs

    Another thought, I took the lower housing apart on my coincos and covered the entire bottom of the circuit board with die electric grease. This prevents any moisture from getting to it. This solved my problem. It was the same issue you guys are talking about; everytime it went for service...

    Truck wash

    The grease came from third wheels on tractors. They would drag the hose all over it. Filthy dump trucks would come in (usually late at night), and wash their beds after hauling hot mix all day. They'd wash everywhere there was a grease fitting, wash the engine compartment, under the dump bed...

    Truck wash

    Three years ago I bought a wash with an outside bay for trucks, large rvs etc. I closed that bay after only a month. Three words: grease, grease, grease. It was one hell of a mess. Even with the truck owners spending $10-20 per, it simply was not worth the mess. Occassionally regular...

    Cat 310 pump manifold washed out?

    If you are talking valve o-rings, that is normally a simptom of head wash out. I think the last one I sent to Kleen-Rite was about $180 for s/s sleeve insertion. That is a fairly permanent fix. In my opinion it is worth it to send the head for repair.

    Cat 310 pump manifold washed out?

    No problem Keith. I have always learned to check the very easy stuff first. Pulling that pump head is the last resort. I have found 80% of the time it is that check valve or the inlet hose is sucking itself inward. Regards Brian Dayton

    Cat 310 pump manifold washed out?

    Does the pump have full pressure when the trigger is not squeezed? (by pass mode) If it does, the pump is probably starving for water. Check your incoming line and your inlet check valve, also the regulator. I have had quite a few springs on the checks corroding a bit, then it will not fully...

    Is anyone there at Dilling & Harris?

    Whoever bought it as an investment should buy Enron, Tyco, and the likes as well. When I saw them at the Atlantic City show, I told them they should find a new line of work, because their vending machines $uck.

    Boom error on Water Wizard 1.0

    OK, that is where I was set on all three. I went ahead and reduced the boom to 55, then I went throught the programming and disabled the over-voltage shut down. I will see if this keeps it going. Thanks again for all the help. This forum seems invaluable!

    ww 1.0 dryer time

    Yes, I did hit "enter". Then I leave the menu and come back, and the 55 is still there. I increased it even more, but actual time is still 45 secs. It is no big deal, I can accomplish the change with a time delay relay. I just wandered why it does not accept through the red lion. Maybe...

    ww 1.0 dryer time

    Another ww issue. The dryer time on the red lion is not responding. I am trying to increase it, but it stays the same. It is currently 45 seconds, I want to go to 55. The dryers are free standing. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Cameras are Cool

    Agreed!!! I have had cameras with remote access since '97. Why some operators still do not have them is beyond me. They must think: I am spending $1M+ on land and building and equipment, but I can not afford $5-7k for a great camera system. The issue is: that you can not afford to be...

    Self Serve wand nozzle question

    I just switched to 25055; running at 1200. This saves .2 gpm with no noticeable difference over the 2506. Just preparing the upcoming drought issues, as well.

    Boom error on Water Wizard 1.0

    If you would, just tell me what the frequency settings are on your three vfds. At least that will tell me if those are correct. Thanks, again!

    Boom error on Water Wizard 1.0

    robtl....Thanks for all your thoughts. (a silly thing; I just realized this thread should have been down on the JC section--oh, well) I may have stumbled upon something. I was able to duplicate the error in the test mode at the machine (with toggle up). It looks like it may be the settings...
