MC & others, In our area with the 2 wired in series --- unless your system really keeps up & the slab never gets behind temperature wise it could work. My specific system does sometimes gets behind --- to me it is certain there would be situations where a very temporary Chinook wind came in...

dump gun nozzle tip protectors --- an engineering challenge? Chris & Soapy, Out of curiosity, have you folks ever tried to make a tip protector that will work for a dump gun such as the dump gun that Cat Pumps & KleenRite sell. I am not sure how many operators like us who have tried the...

washman9, I would get the info off the pump & call or go to a place that specializes in hydraulics. They may be able to assist you without shutting down. If a replacement is not found --- a different pump may require slightly different mounting. Since it is Futura Mike Vukelic might be able...

It costs to tap in into needed engineering resources-GET IT! Dogwasher, Nelson & others, If that is the case that the installer did not make a provision to be able to replace the temperature slabstat sensor --- then I personally would use my already owned 4 1/2 inch grinder with an already...

Continued from previous completely relevant post! "Continued from previous post To get off the subject a bit --- our PLC driven dog wash has the ability to show its Ethernet connected set up & monitoring screen remotely so we can see the temps on a smart phone via whatever sort of remote...

Relevant Controls & Resources Comment Relevant to Thread Nelson B & others, I hope this helps --- hopefully operators see the usefulness based on 31 years of actual experience --- in an area that has the need for a minus 30 degrees below zero Fahrenheit deicer design. My controls are bit...

John, 3/8" for any significant length is like using a longer straw to drink from. Pressure, & volume & cV are definitely related --- even sharp angles are a cV factor. Like Randy & Mep suggested the softener can also be a major cV pressure drop factor. Mike

Bubbles-John, I would go for all the rest of the solutions suggested first. When I corrected our low pressure with the larger piping at the pertinent point we also helped the overall situation for other needed fills around our facility. In other words ---- especially if the pressure loss is a...

Based on actual experience Bubbles-John, One of the reasons why I did not suggest in my posts which were similar to Randy's suggestion is this: Correct me if I am wrong --- but an expansion tank as in your link is more suitable for a closed loop heating system. I happen to have had many of...

Buz, Do you think this would be quick enough? Maybe do part of process done in advance. http://forum.autocareforum.com/showthread.php?t=7772 Reusable ends are fairly quick with a good grinder (cordless) with a cutting wheel if it is wire braid hose. We have both a peanut air grinder & an...

Wax, I am not familiar with inbay automatics but if Bubbles-John has the space --- it seems like that would be another potential option. I know our original equipment from 1968 had a huge tank that we got rid of in 1987 --- & it did allow us to have that reserve extra water during...

Wax, If I remember right Bubbles-John has a similar extra simple system like Big Leo's & mine. It is reliable but it does require everything to be perfect --- possibly that includes the Watts balancing valve to not have too big of a incoming pressure fluctuation. As far as I know all the...

Flamingo, On our Doyle vacs we bought some shroud type of enclosures that have Medeco locks --- that the solved the problem 100% for us. Take a good look because possibly something similar is available or could be fabricated for the Fragmatics. Mike

John, We put gauges at strategic points of our distribution. It could be after looking at the gauge drop situation at the start of your piping --- if there is no drop there --- that the issue is within how your pipes branch out. That could possibly be the most economical way of correcting the...

2Biz, It looks like a good job --- the discipline of the revisioning should be noted by anyone wanting to get into this type of programming. As you probably already know --- the fun part is the thorough all aspects testing. The programming looks eerily similar to the TriSafe Relay that I my...

Fancy "Detail Shop" Wax Removal? Paul, I do think that is a very valid concern. I remember one time over 15 years ago there was a person who said his brand new big ticket "detail shop just done" extra fancy wax was taken off by our car wash. I went back on the camera & it showed the...

Louise --- I agree & to have certain absolute sensor violations go to one or more person's cell phone on call or otherwise within a second seems to make sense. More to the original topic it seems like having IP sound & ability to IP record in strategic places could make sense also. Mike

Some finer points of mitigating the consequences of the weather Up north here in North Dakota --- we tend to watch the weather extra close except during the summer & how we run the operation reflects that. Weather can make us run things a bit different: For example we make darn sure our...

For the sake of understanding I'm probably totally confused on this since I was mainly dependent on Specialty over most of the years for coin box items --- can anyone clarify the relationship that D/H had with Gin San? Were they merged together at one time --- if so --- did they still keep...

Weather with other factors I agree with madsci. I would add that those of us who control the ability to open & close overhead doors & allow people to wash with the doors shut on both ends --- tend to experience what I call transition factors. For example in the fall the customers are...
