Jimmy, I am having trouble visualizing a setup where a check valve actually would be the controlling factor for the soap itself. I would say it is much more likely a solenoid in line with the tubing coming from your source of your initial soap. mike

Chris & Randy, What spooked me about the rotary screw is that I have read that they needed to run without intermittent stops & we have our slack periods along with closing up after 10 PM in the evening. I would still want at least some kind of backup. I agree I would never have an Oil Less as...

The point is that some equipment rooms may have more consistent temperatures & less humidity meaning the oil may stay good enough in those cases. I was just thinking that some of us may have a greater need to change the oil ... especially in a more northern colder climate. It is hard to...

All of us have air compressors & some of us have even resorted to the oil less compact air compressors. I have read that there are silencer-mufflers that an operator can put in place of the air intake filter that helps. Can anybody describe how much lower of decibels a person can expect by...

Jack, Our understanding is that the Coinco Vantage is more waterproof & is the main reason why we have about 10 of them. We have 3 MEI 2600 series also. The ability to use prepaid paper token-coupons could turn out to be of value for business customers who prefer to not have their vehicles...

I would think that temperature variations in equipment rooms could be a factor for slight moisture etc. lessening the oil's ability to lubricate. Also if there was a tiny bit of filings from wear ... the damage would be less if oil was changed. We are closed after 10 PM so we let 3 of our...

2Biz, Question: How do you get the degree symbol to show so I do not have to type out degrees:confused: Some of us are in the -30 degree design area. Maybe some Canadian Operators are in even lower ... not sure. The wind chills have been going down below -40 lately here which affects the...

Kevin, From your experience, is there a market out there for some "like new" 430 Cat Pumps & brand new 430 parts still in their original sealed state? The reason I am asking is that we recently inventoried those of ours "in storage" thinking maybe there are buyers out there. There is no...

It seems like Laser is better than a stamp or an inkjet for avoiding smeared ink when damp. Staples had a Brother Laser 2270DW on sale for $99 with auto duplexing. So we bought it. The printer's manual insert allowed for a guide that we made to help the feeding process of 800 of the token...

Since we only just sold our first large batch of the Coinco's version of the token notes to a contractor for them to use for their fleet of vehicles ... we are in the dark as to what the average number of re-uses of these dollar bill size coupons have. I was hoping that someone who actually has...

We have a sign up in each bay to shut their car engine off. About 3 years ago a guy had to be air ambulanced to Minneapolis to go in a special chamber. I needed to make it clear to the news media that it was not from any our heating sources but through extreme customer negligence. Just to...

We have the Vantage Mag paper tokens. We were just wondering if anybody has tried to make the paper tokens more water proof or resistant? We know we have extended the life of some of our paper signs by giving a light spray coat of clear acrylic or polyurethane. We hate to be experimenting too...

Keith, Well that settles it for those of us who see the interchangeability as pertinent & possibly useful information!:) Since both the Dole part & the part inside the Hydrominder kit were a few feet from me by my office ... for the sake of scholarly verified accuracy ... Gomer took his trusty...

Mep, Did you actually compare side by side & properly measure what you state to be different in size diaphragms? The diaphragms are interchangeable from our actual "hands on experience" & they most certainly are "functionally the same" which is what we think should be the concern. With all due...

Mep, http://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-2138-diaphragm-for-506-511-530.aspx We have used the above part successfully at least 40 of these over the years as interchangeable with a common Dole valve that we use on both the laundry side & the car wash side. The car wash Dole valves that Specialty...

We notice that the diaphragm is the same diaphragm that is in a Dole inlet valve. We have those leading into our small car wash pump stand tanks & also a percentage of our washing machine inlet valves are Doles. mike

A friend-car wash customer of ours who owns a bunch of UniStop - convenient store gas stations in our area ... actually advertises & places signs stating that his gas is better because of no or less Ethanol. Sometimes government & even local media can sometimes have a subtle way of being...

Time Factor Randy, Hmmm ... 10:36 A.M. .... hopefully there would be enough activitiy from Good Samaritan customers or other businesses at that time of day. We are not attended every minute of the day but our flow of people tends to make that type of incident at that time of day very...

Cantbreak80, Wow! From our experience, how you are doing it really makes sense! On our PLC driven dog wash we allow a 60 second GRACE period with limited ability to stop the countdown clock. Nothing against Dixmor's last minute alert ... but for customer convenience ... the customers do...

Big, Happy New Year to you & all on the forum too! I pretty much agree with everything you said & I do have 2 year old bill acceptors in all 6 bays & the 2 room dog wash which will still work great for $5 & $10 bills. What I am concerned about is when our leaders refuse to learn some of the...
