Bubbles - John, For our thermistors & RTD thermocouples on new piping we put in tees with solder & with center threads to screw in a threaded sensor. This makes the sensor right in the flow which is the ideal. On existing pipe we used some special conductive grease we got from a local Trane...

We converted our Doyle Vacuums over to Electronic Coin Mechs last spring so we could take & give a bonus for using dollar coins. By using the Dixmor timers we have an attractive display through a clear polycarbonate opening that we made for them. The displays are mounted lower than normal but...

Bubbles & others, On our Huron Valley Raypak System we gained a much smaller amount of heat for our little equipment room by installing a simple aluminum fin spiral from the local hardware store on the Huron Valley Raypak described below. This approach is gathers much less heat but on the flip...

Ric, A right angle drill with a bimetal hole saw would make more sense than the dremel approach that you are considering. Cutting oil would help. The hole saw will be ruined if the concrete can't be avoided. MJ

Mac, An effort needs to be made to make that specific auditor's supervisors aware of the both unreasonable & impractical request. If they do not give you a good response --- you can at least show an honest effort to correct the situation. If & only if that approach fails --- call &/or write...

Jimmy, No offense, but I have never heard of laundromats in Florida being taxed with some weird twist you describe. Rather than starting or continuing a potential false rumor ---- can you be more specific on the laundromat comment? The last time I heard from the Coin Laundry Association ---...

Turbo, Each system has its unique characteristics & evolve in different ways. If a customer leaves a door open it could be a factor in even 10 degree temp depending on wind etc. Indoors like that setting you stated & that was probably spec'd out at should be fairly close to what you need...

Here in North Dakota they have become quite strict in their boiler inspection by the state or a private insurance boiler inspector & the flow switch is one of the items where they make us close a ball valve to see if it is doing its job. Also they make us pop the relief valve. Bubbles, From...

Turbo, In our truck bay we actually have 150 degree floor heat by our north door which surprisingly helps keep some ice off of that specific door through convection. Yes, in Bismarck. To promote our brand new dog wash we have www.kingkoin.com. Mandan needed more options car wash wise. I hope...

Specifics of the specific tax law - political reality tipping of the scale Just to add to my previous post. In North Dakota, it was just like Mep described at one time here in our particular state. The trouble came when a new tax commissioner was elected & came into town & decided his mandate...

Thread Carefully! Txheat, They want it on the larger end sale amount. Once the vendor gets your state sale tax permit on file they will adjust their computers to reflect that. When we buy vend items for our Mega Vendor locally sometimes we have to show our sales tax permit that we carry...

A better alarm capability with the Droid X & Remote Desktop!? Sequoia from the land of the 2,000 plus year old majestic trees, I have been using the Xtralogic Pro on my new Droid X for about 2 1/2 months now. The key is --- in my view ---- is whatever evolves on the local 24/7 computer is...

Turbo, We are also in your specific area & so far we have only had to turn on our deicer once right after the snow after those recent 50-60 mph winds we had a little over 2 weeks ago. In fact it was the day Bill Pitzer our Forum Founder wisely held off leaving Bismarck until the weather...

I was tired of light timers & photocells also! Pat, This might be another approach to consider: We have been using the skylight 1-10 VDC of the below light sensor link in our new clear polycarbonate dog wash for about a year now & we are happier with the more preciseness of the sensor than...

cfcw, I learned something reading an engineer's article in a Hydronic Trade Journal. The article showed that when the part of the heater or boiler that heats the antifreeze interacts to raise its temperature there is significant loss of efficiency vs just water. I try to use my Spirec Heat...

Time will tell! Big Leo & others, We have the proper warnings & we have signs stating "Adult Supervision Only". A well respected Attorney high up in our state bar association did look at our setup & actually has used the setup many times. I mentioned to him the break away force safety...

Time will tell! Bill & others, Yoooze da man! I don't know if the rest of you realize after Bill somehow got lost on I-94 when he had planned on going the more direct route with I-90 from the east coast to his west coast, he included John (Whale a Wash) & me on his route. It was a joy to to...

teamplex65, It was explained to me by our water department people here in Bismarck that chlorine dissipates when sitting in the pipes & tanks etc. This is why when the city employees when they field check the water they pick our laundromat sink abut once a week. Even then they run the water...

It seems that Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) has been a good choice for us! Much better longevity than paint no matter how good the paint supposedly is. MJ

Soapy, I got four of these LOA 9045s for our dog wash from our Home Depot (before it closed & left because of competition from Menards & Lowes) & left Bismarck. Are these the CFLs you mention? Lights of America 42-Watts Fluorescent Wall Light 9045 Also a question are T5s more efficient than...
