    RO Reject Usage

    Maybe I am naive, but I wonder if a person could feed RO reject water directly into the city water line with 2 strategically placed check valves. The tank would have to be higher than inlet to the city water line similiar to what Pat said in relation to the HP tank. It would add the 2 spring...

    Vacuum Security

    Turbo, Over 7 years ago we installed a shroud or guard over the latches. I believe we got them from Industrial Vacs. They look similar to the KleenRite product picture. From the picture you can't tell for sure if there is a Medeco lock on top. Ours came with a Medeco Lock. It has proved...

    Quickbooks 2009 Problems!

    Just a heads up, Microsoft has discontinued its MONEY software series that was in competition with Quicken-Quickbooks. I was leaning towards Quickbooks for my online bill pay etc. My payroll is tailored for ourselves with Access 2002. It looks like that was one of the better things I have...

    PLC Environment Controls Anyone? PID?

    I had a Watts at one time for the car wash & possibly because I had no recirculaing line & a 50 foot pipe run it could be why it did not seem good enough. I am using 2 Symmons (one as a backup) with a recirculation line for the car wash. They worked great for a few years but it seems like they...

    Plasma Cutter??

    Bill, I just have a model # CT-416D. By the below link it looks like others have had problems. It is kind of heavy to be shipping back & forth though. http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?t=31004

    PLC Environment Controls Anyone? PID?

    When we decided to use a PLC for our Dog Wash we did so partially because we wanted to improve the accuracy of our water temperature & make up air. Also, so we could more efficiently save BTUs by reclaiming our 180 degree surface temperature in our dryer exhaust ductwork. The PLC allows us to...

    Plasma Cutter??

    The artistic tendency that we all share! Bill, I bought one that was both a welder(tig included) & a plasma cutter online. The plasma capability quit working as soon as warranty was up & after I had already stocked up on wear out attachment plasma tips. It was one I had searched on line for...

    Softener sprung a leak

    Ghetto Wash, It depends a lot on how much city water pressure you have going in to the tank. About a year ago we had a professional try to patch an upper valve housing that was made of fiberglass with a professional kit. It did not last more than a day. The softener valve housing was a more...

    Vending Prices

    People are looking for value. The convenience of being able to buy an item at the time & place it is most likely & most practical to be used is part of that value. Keeping no tax or lesser tax is also potentially a way to give more value. This post reminded me of the logistics involved in...

    Water solenoid din connector experience?

    It appears that a standard hardware or automotive .250 female quick disconnect will work because its shape accommodates the 2 curls. We will find out. I am somewhat shocked that even Asco tech support didn't know or chose to not share that information. An experiencd local electrical wholesaler...

    Water solenoid din connector experience?

    Does anybody know where to buy 18 mm din connectors for an Asco valve? I bought four 1/2" S series Asco valves that have an oddball connection. It says Z134A on the solenoid label along with Asco P/N 8238S404-24. I was told & sold to by a car wash distributor that 88122403 is the proper din...

    min.Nat. electric code ?

    Jimbo, Are the cords positioned so they could potntially be chafed or vibrated through? If so, that should be considered. I would have them show you where & how it is stated in the NEC & then share that with us here on the forum. Especially if you have a large enough area that could be...

    Do Banks or Bill Counters Care?

    My 2 SC series 600EF Standard Changer's bill sorter does the sorting but does require the "face up & oriented". It is possible that a larger bill can go into the "ones" as a bill held. The bank has an option to use a counter that will separate the denominations & I am happy they use that one...

    Do Banks or Bill Counters Care?

    Sprayer Attachment Vac Comb

    Where are you big k? Big Leo, Your right---I am definitely getting hung up on lesser items. As nutty as it sounds we actually already had a bunch of blue 1-1/2" that we use for our 22 year old car wash hand blo drys tucked away with our parts. I went to Lowe's like Big K suggested worked...

    Spot Free Filter

    Rocky, This is different than what you asked but here's for what it is worth. I changed brands of membrane once & found out the hard way that the new membrane works & was the right size but required an adaptor fitting. My membrane is the chlorine tolerant CA type so it is not nearly as common...
