    Water Softener Regen**More info added/question?

    Not just might, but should. I try to check mine at least once a week - if you have an attendant have them check it every day so you'll catch a problem early.

    Credit card processing

    If you're running dialup processing, you're 100% PCI compliant because dialup processing can't be intercepted. They should not be charging you for anything related to PCI compliance.

    Drilling 1/2" hole through stainless

    I do if I'm drilling thick material on a drill press, but since the main reason for oil is to keep the tool from getting hot and they don't get hot drilling 12 gauge stainless, I just don't bother. I can get hundreds of holes in stainless out of one 1/8" cobalt bit and one Harbor Freight step...

    Drilling 1/2" hole through stainless

    I like his channel - my fiancée complains about his annoying voice. Some day I'll work up the nerve to tell her "At least he doesn't have to hear yours every time he makes a move..."

    Drilling 1/2" hole through stainless

    I also use step bits in stainless for larger holes. The Harbor Freight ones aren't too bad, the biggest problem is that they grab when the steps break through, but they're only $8.99 for a 3-pack. One really good step drill can cost up to $70. The Harbor Freight ones also leave a messy hole...

    The fuse burned when you press high pressure

    The solenoid coil for rinse may be burned out, or there's a direct short in the wiring to it.

    Water Softener Regen**More info added/question?

    You'll need the softener manual, the specs of the softener (Tank size, rating, or number of cubic feet of media it holds) and a hardness test kit to figure that out.

    Tire cleaner product low/nil output

    Have you checked the pump to be sure it's making pressure?

    Tire cleaner product low/nil output

    Usually, unless the pump is either completely bad or has lost prime. Sometimes it'll reprime by turning the air all the way down, but I've usually had to crack the outlet fitting loose to get the pump flooded before it would start working again. The fact that the air pressure is also affecting...

    Possible setup to use multiple tips on 1 Hydrominder?

    Would you consider a setup that would fill the tank with methanol soap and purge all the lines? I have a ladder program for a relay somewhere that would use a solenoid and reed switch to fill the tank and then purge each bay. Cost would be minimal.

    Tire cleaner product low/nil output

    I looked back on his previous posts and saw that he has a JC super saver. What he describes here is exactly what I've seen happen when the pump has completely failed or has lost prime. I guess he's gone the last three years with no tire cleaner...

    Possible setup to use multiple tips on 1 Hydrominder?

    The difference is that each solenoid opens to allow only one product to flow on demand, where a dual tip setup on a Hydrominder will mix two together from concentrates into a tank to be pumped when called for.

    Possible setup to use multiple tips on 1 Hydrominder?

    I put the plastic plumbing right on the Hydrominder. It seems to work accurately.

    Possible setup to use multiple tips on 1 Hydrominder?

    I've made dual tip setups with 1/4" plastic fittings. The only specialty thing you need is an extra eductor tip. I tried brass but the chemicals ate through it pretty quickly.

    VAC IT UP SYSTEM Questions

    That's why I mentioned installing 180 fittings inside the safes, if something goes wrong you could just pull off the fitting and use the safe. I worked on a wash that had the entire run from the box to the room done in schedule 80 pipe, and they used conduit sweep 90's at the top of the...
