    Tankless Water heater.

    Plumber installed tankless Navien heater - Don't have model # handy right now. Replaced an AO Smith cyclone unit that could not keep up on busy days. This unit feeds all my solution mixing stations and Ts into a cold water line so water at the stations is warm, not hot and I adjust it for...

    Car wash Tragedy

    Does anyone have more details. Story caption says "Trapped in Machinery" and body of story says caller told 911 person was "electrocuted". It would certainly help us understand and perhaps institute preventive measures.

    Especially for glycol in copper propress pipe fittings

    It may be more of a question about what they wanted to spend the time and money to get "Certified" for as opposed to what you can use it for.

    Especially for glycol in copper propress pipe fittings

    "Not certified" for anything other than potable water and radiant heat. Doesn't raidiant heat contain some sort of alcohol to keep it from freezing if there is a failure?

    Pet Peeve: Never getting to relax

    I've made up my mind that I don't have anyone who can "Put out the fires" like I can. If omething happens whie I am gone so it cost me more money to solve than if I had been there, that's just another vacation expense.

    Especially for glycol in copper propress pipe fittings

    If size eliminates an option you have to go with that. If size allows being able to throw a shark bite on there and not needing a special tool is a wonderful thing.

    Will an exterior car wash only work without vacuum stalls?

    Your initial premise is in error. Years ago we converted from FS to EE and managed to squeeze in 2 pay vacs. I would say about 25% or less choose to hand dry. Later we figured a way to squeeze in 6 more pay vacs. The occasions where they are all full are few and far between and on...

    Fill in the blank: I am better ___________________________

    My closest SS Competitor is top notch . He may be better than me. (He is also an a better traveled street with better exposure.) I watch and copy him so he doesn't get too far ahead. He was ahead of me on Bay Bill and Credit Card Acceptors as well as Vacuum Dualers and hand held blowers. 2 of...

    How well do Crypto pay swipers work in a very dirty/wet environment

    I don't know that your question can be answered since "Very Dirty" is difficult to quantify. I have them in 8 bays for about 5 years and think I have had 4 go bad. Depending on your layout perhaps you could run a Pipe from the meter box to the end of the bay or even to the outside wall and...

    Chemical Overhaul

    If you need the reserve capacity (Fill rate may not equal use rate occasionally) IMO less is more. Greater turnover of solution keeps solution warmer if you heat any, and less dormant product to precipitate out.

    Chemical Overhaul

    Jelling would have sime forming in the mixing tank and or concentrate bucket. Gumming up everything from the foot valve to the strainer. If Tube is full AND appears to be drawing soap I suggest trying a new bucket of soap. Perhaps you had water siphon back and dilute soap. To prevent this...
