    Converyor Speed

    AFAIAC - No simple answer. You are in the snow and salt belt. In winter Salt may make cars look dirtier than summer but salt is soluble and can act as a a solvent as a result cars look worse but are easier to clean until they get cold to a point where dirt is frozen on and you need time to...

    Best High Concentrate Dilution method?

    If a 55 is too large you could use a 20 gallon drum. It will likely last a long time. Since I do this for tunnle applications sometimess a 55 Gallon drum is a time saver.

    Improving products delivery to bay

    Me, same as MEP so the lines are full of product to above the bay. The delay should just be for the solution to go from above the bay, displace whatever is in the hose and reach the tip. Not sure if this would happen quicker if you ran 3/8 poly or 1/4 poly to the manifold above the bay. My...

    High Pressure Floats for Wash Tank

    I got the Hudson after viewing thoughts on the forum. They have been in service 6 months without any issues. FWIW I think the Tunnle ones in the "Break Tank" cycle mutch more frequently than the SS. So far no issues - Hot or cold.

    High Pressure Floats for Wash Tank

    Recently changed from the 573 to these. So far so good. In the Break Tank for the tunnels one would not deliver sufficient volume so I needed 2. But in the tank for the SS rinse / soap fresh water supply where the tank supplies 8 bays, it is enough...

    Cylinder Pin Breaking - PS Sonny's Wrap Around Brush

    1. Second best solution. Cylinders / shocks etc. should never be allowed to reach full length of travel either under their own power or moved during process. There needs to be a stop adjusted to prevent this. 2. Best solution. (Had Sonny's Spider wraps until they got smashed 7 months ago)...

    When do you turn on the hot water tanks?

    I warm the water slightly in the warm months and as it gets colder out I increase warm and reduce cold. If it gets below 20 I may use only hot but that is just to the solutions. I have no exact figures for extra cost but my best guess is it's nominal because summer bills are small and it...

    Best High Concentrate Dilution method?

    1. If water pressure is good I use the Ultra lean. This works well for 3 of my 4 places 2. At one place with erratic pressure I have done what MEP says, but now I just pre dilute. I use a 30-55 Gallon drum and add water to the concentrate. Depending on the application I may add 2 or 3...

    When do you turn on the hot water tanks?

    FWIW in the Tunnel I think slightly warming the water in warm months helps the foaming and cleaning action and for DA it seems to help but the setting arch seems to work better cold.

    When do you turn on the hot water tanks?

    Hot water for washing stays on all year. I have a cold water line T'd in to the supply so I can use less in the hot weather. Floor heat and Trough heat are turned on October 1. Gives me time to make sure it''s working. Nov. 1 has been a date following which we have had hard freezes. I am in...
