    Secret to putting push-lok fittings on

    You have to cut the hose, which you have to do carefully if you plan to reuse the fitting. I prefer to cut a slice off the side of the hose, cutting toward the yellow ring, and only cut through the nylon reinforcement, then bend the hose to the side and it should slip off. If you just cut into...

    lost pressure

    I still prefer Paraplate BR5-2. They last 10 years or more, and I don't rebuild them because it seems like once they start to leak they won't hold a kit. Adams 7075 and 7085 have been a problem for me. About one out of four will eventually quit working right and not hold the pressure like...

    You would use those swipers to send coin pulses to an existing timer. People usually have it set so each swipe is worth a certain amount, like two cash startup cycles, and they have to swipe again for more time. They are also used on single electronic vendors.

    I had mine typed first. ;)

    lost pressure

    Replace the tip with a new one, and make sure it's the correct size. You could have a failed check valve letting pressure go back through something. The weep one is easiest to diagnose because your other bays will be weeping when the bay with weak pressure is running. If the pump clatters...

    GINSAN RO Canister End Caps Leak

    Could they be cracking from the fittings being overtightened? I've never had an issue with any of them, I just tighten them not much past hand tight.

    Secret to putting push-lok fittings on

    That's a lot nicer than the one we got from Parker, looks indestructible, and still cheaper.

    Hopper Coasting Error

    I decoded the Honeywell part number, the Cherry equivalent should be D42LQ1AA. I can't find it anywhere, so it would be a special order. If anyone wants to confirm my research: https://sensing.honeywell.com/honeywell-micro-switch-v7-basic-product-sheet-004987-4-en.pdf...

    Major life decision

    I think you're about to make a huge mistake in that you will be in over your head, you'll be trusting people you've never met, and that you'll be turning what was supposed to be a retirement into a 60+ hour a week job for not a whole lot of profit on properties that are at some point going to...

    Air Bubbles in the Soap Supply Line

    I've had the same issue. Six Hydrominders changed out over a few months and the first few leaked around the barb, same with new suction tube assemblies. I now put a zip tie really tight around the hose at the barb in place of the metal ring. I think it's all quality control issues with the...

    Secret to putting push-lok fittings on

    Hot water. I keep an old saucepan at the wash and heat a couple inches of water with a torch to almost boiling. Soak the hose in it for 15 seconds and it'll slip right on. The local Parker distributor makes hoses to order and they said use alcohol as a lubricant along with a special device to...

    Hopper Coasting Error

    It couldn't possibly be worse. Edit: The Honeywell hold up fine once you get one that works.

    Looking to purchase a wash

    Not just watch it, but go through it a few times. If you've already met the employees while looking, send some people through. Unmanaged employees often get complacent or greedy, and you don't want to have to fix a bad reputation.

    Hopper Coasting Error

    Not only do they usually need some adjustment, four out of the twelve new ones I've gotten were defective. When they're bad, I can hold the switch between the click point and it will make my ohm meter gurgle. On the plus side, you can get the replacement switches for almost nothing (It...

    YouTube is also suspending or shutting down Trump supporters' accounts. A whole new "free speech social network" platform called Parler was created a couple years ago through Amazon and it's been shut down.
