Floodlight Socket Extenders to allow Compact Fluorescent Flood lights to fit? Soapy & others, By our vacuums & around our building we still have about 12 of the 75 watts & 90 watts of the Halogen flood lights. They are supposed to have similar lumens as regular incandescent 150 watts...

Ditto with Big Leo on odor from the concrete itself, Our concrete has a white colorant mixed in as it was being finished --- that is nice. Not too slippery or too rough. A squeegee works great for super fast clean up. We leave a self wringing mop hanging for on standby --- the more...

Brad Quay, http://forum.autocareforum.com/showthread.php?t=8466 Just checking with Mr. I.B, (aka Pat Hall) --- juuuust in case --- no need for anyone to be offended. It is good to see that you still on our side in the year 2012. The below "a little too much credit card propping up" best fit...

packerscw, I wonder if a pet wash style sprayer would work? I use a T&S Brass Works one at mine with a brush on its end --- I am not sure what others use. Take this with a grain of salt because --- I am not familiar with "trifoam" or whatever else you have in mind to use it for. MikeW

I.B. It seems like a lot of electronic devices just need to be thoroughly rebooted which sounds like the case here. Hopefully, it will not be something that starts requiring frequent reboots as in just being a one time fluke. It does seem like some merchants encourage more credit card usage...

Mr I.B. danged, I know this is not funny but are you absolutely positively sure that Brad Quay is not trying to "accelerate" the demise of something?:D MikeW

David & others, Most people see money just as a medium of exchange that makes it so bartering is not the only option. As such it is also an "instrument of trust". When it costs the government 18 cents to make the dollar coin --- that means they have over 500% markup. Of course --- it is not...

. Thanks John, I agree with most of all of the above including the part about not spending too much of one's personal resources on shedding light on what is involved or on the mindless gross receipt tax approach on services. I don't agree with the "heavy" part because Canada has not had even...

Proper support & a firmness is needed! Quote MICAH & others who are concerned, It would be helpful to include a little statement of support in some of our advertising that we tend to run anyway across the USA --- especially in the higher population areas where it could reach more people...

Earl, We have some common ground --- except that we on this side of the issue more dislike sorting & counting disproportionate numbers of quarters & one dollar bills compared to $5s & $10s & $20s It is pretty clear that dollar coins win the debate with the more healthy coin process! Dollar...

Keep the temporary discomfort to a minimum :cool: Micah, I certainly would not be in any rush to remove my accounts & credit cards from that mega bank --- for the simple reason we do not know if the new bank will "double cross" you going on that same dysfunctional bandwagon as BB & T Bank...

Miles, Nobody said that the dollar coin is not also deflated. The dollar coin certainly makes more sense from our perspective than just using the also deflated "quarter" It is pretty pathetic to see distributors setting up new self service operators with "quarters only" on their coin drop...

Earl, It seems like the $650 was or is a great buy on Ebay considering how sturdy the unit is made. It is light years ahead in both speed & maintenance wise compared to our previous 2 "used hand me down" older Brandts. We got our Cummins brand new back in Nov of 2002. I am pretty sure we...

John & others, Note 30-50% in the below article are choosing to opt out of credit card. In the case of laundromats the best available information shows that 95% of them are coin only. http://www.strategicsourceror.com/2011/07/us-treasury-manufacturing-less-cash-as.html My point is that...

More serious than we think --- there is a need! Micah, Kirb & other coin people, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BB%26T It would be nice if Kirb was right but I am afraid the current situation is way worse than we think. Since the executive order from the administration said no more President...

bigleo, Just for a heads up. KleenRite seems to have improved on their Flea & Tic --- it now says veterinarian grade. We were pleasantly surprised when the dog owners were showing us for the first time the tics just falling off with the improved product. Tom, Higher walls for the splashing...

Sparkey, Good point. Our 3-5 HP VFDs inputs were single phase so a line reactor was not an option for us. So far no problems back into our very electronic facility. So the shielded wires & the isolated ground must be helping. It seems like some more expensive VFDs may have less chance of...

Eric, It will be interesting if this turns out to be is a much better solution than a Poloma or other less efficient brands...

carnut2, Based on putting a clamp on ammeter on the wires of the VFD driven motors that I have worked with --- I personally think you are absolutely right about potential significant electrical savings. Especially if your motors are already 3 phase & even more so if they are are already...

Carnut2, Jon & others, Was everyone in on the install fussy enough with a specific isolated earth ground for it? Without trying to be a smart*ss I would think that a pump or a fan application would have the fewest issues compared to some VFD applications. Shielded wires properly grounded also...
