John, Make sure that the calculations are properly done to allow for whatever pressure drop. Having said that ... I would say that 50' would be a better fit for rigid piping. The natural gas tap from our laundromat to our car wash is definitely over 50' & I would not consider flex even if it...

Just a heads up ... don't rely on your government consumer fraud divisions too heavily after you trusted some outfits. Sometimes that can be a significant waste of time ending up with an eventual response from a "less than worthy" supervisor pointing to some pathetic hidden legalese on the...

Earl, On the quarter vs dollar comparison. I noticed Big Leo's looney tooney decal on his Wash Select recent Pic & it did have a flair of an improvement over what some of us have ... in my hopefully shared opinion.:o I see where you are coming from on your valid question on specification...

Diamond, It seems like heavy duty stainless steel hinge material & polycarbonate would make sense! mike

Wally, Nice pics! I notice how you tailored everything to be at your fingertips. It has some similiarities to what is inside the large stainless console of our dog wash. Where did you get the clear canisters? What is their diameter? Did you fabricate them yourself? We did something similar...

Enough of these people getting caught ... among other things ... should help prevent these incidents from getting out of hand. It has been said many times that the best possible judicial system is needed for businesses to function properly ... which among other things translates into a better...

How often do you test the actual speed vs what was promised? Scout, Were those lower amounts during promotion period ... tied into a long term contract? While we are on the subject of broadband & its cost ... has anyone had the broadband company promise even in writing where the proposal...

Greater danger from the SS than the general population! Not that I want to give the Judicial Branch a blank check but someone or a group of citizens needs to make damn sure that law is contested. Isn't that how Hitler came into power to some extent by convincing people that there was a need...

I thought all of us had signs posted prominently in all our pertinent places within our facilities that read "Audio is Recorded for Quality Control" Some people have been known to request recording on some phone calls as long as statements are not allowed to be taken out of context.

In our local case, the bloated price tag also included the wrong sizing so the cV would have caused a serious flow problem for us. Him & his wife were pretty mad at us when we chose to install it ourselves & they put us on their "no longer speaking" terms with us! Just think ... they were...

Mep & other VFD-Pump experts, For the sake of understanding better. As a reaction to your above statement we went from my office to our pump room & the closest bay. Gradually squeezing the trigger the pressure climbed from 250 psi on the accurate gauge to 1500 psi with the non VFD 3 phase 3...

Diamond, Just thinking outloud ... it would just need an ethernet connected device that would output pulses wired in parallel with our bill acceptor & coin mechs inside our 2 plc driven dog wash console. It seems do-able & possibly the least expensive to set up ... but the volume for Dwolla...

John, We put the resin initially in our twin Fleck Softeners without any problem because the instructions for the gravel & the tube placement etc was pretty good. I seems like taking the head off without breaking anything could be an issue. I am pretty sure this has been discussed before if I...

Only a small percentage of the time do the customers let up on the trigger during the high pressure. When they do it is less pressure but not the "all or nothing" like you describe. The increased volume during those times it is not that drastic. The Flojets for the tire motor & presoak with...

Thanks Tom for sharing your specific experience. There are a lot of vfds out there with different capabilities. I like to always have spare components on hand so I found this link potentially helpful...

Bill & others, Do you think that process would be reliable enough to also use to trigger as an actual alarm to replace dedicated motion detectors. It seems like a main alarm control such as a PLC that was programmable so it could be programmed to require more than one trigger would prevent any...

Tom, 2 Questions: I have heard that VFDs need a capacitor bank replacement after 5-10 years ... since you have been using VFDs for many years now ... have you any experience with that event? We like the type of gun (Cat has a version) that unloads around the outside of the nozzle when trigger...

I didn't know that they could be taken out. I do notice that those particular nozzles seem to plug up more often when a customer tries to pry mud with the wand than the nozzles that come without the internal vane.

Captain CW, I can't really honestly say that we have ever had rotary switches long enough to do a fair comparison between them & vandal proof push buttons or a less vandal proof membrane switches. We are transitioning to vandal proof push buttons & led "on" feedback with the help of GinSan on...

Mep001 & others, To set the record straight: I have 13 (most still under warranty) Mars & Coinco Vantage bill acceptors for our self service car n dog wash & my edutainment center within our laundromat. If there is enough support for having proper oversight in making sure the gold colored...
