That's a load of crap. It wouldn't have a range if it was designed for a specific unit. I made one in an emergency by drilling holes in a brass cap on a hose and it worked perfectly. I'm sure any tip will do the job. And you don't need to couple two pumps together to get 3 GPM.

I've had at least 20 of those in the last year since I've had remote access to video. Some of them have spent as much as 10 hours in a bay overnight arranging their crap.

I've done it many times, mostly with the older GinSan pushbutton doors. I just strip the decal and cover the holes on the outside with masking tape and use the syringe-mixer type epoxy tube and squeeze it in. JB Weld epoxy in separate bottles works too. I just leave a good bit of a mound to...

He is unique in this opinion.

The cost of machines can vary a huge amount. You can change the cost of a brush rollover by $75,000 by adding high pressure undercarriage and wheel cleaner. You should start with what your market is looking for and shop from there. You can even get used or refurbished machines for 10-20% of a...

Why are you bringing up rotating nozzles?

I've done it, I was handed the timer and some hand-written instructions. It's very easy.

I've replaced the Van locks with regular Gem meter door locks. I figure they're just going to pry the door open and break them again, why spend more on something they can still break easily. I've got a couple extra hardened steel puck locks I need to take and have machined and maybe mount them...

Does it have improved locks? I would not put bill acceptors in a Fragramatics with the Van cam locks on it. Their models with bill acceptors have a totally different locking system.

For $285 you can get a hose about 200' long and a drain cleaner tip.

Not just installers, but the companies who sell the units and claim they're properly set when they aren't. Of the hundreds of softeners I've installed or serviced, maybe ten of them were set for a proper brine refill time. I can't blame the installer if they're told the unit is ready.

I'm running a wash where the controller has failed and been bypassed. Just order an IDX MX-8 or something equivalent, run the trifoam wires to its inputs along with a common, supply it with 120V AC and run that to the contactor.

I think he means exceeding the flow of the media, since despite the flow capacity of the valve you can only soften so much flow through the resin before some of the water comes through not fully softened.

Chlorine seems to be the big killer of resin. When I worked for a distributor we had a customer for whom we replaced his resin every two years. It would just turn to powder and flow down the drain with the backwash cycle. The resin in mine is 19 years old and is perfectly fine, softens...

You might be better off organizing a group and filing a class action suit. I'm not sure you can file criminal charges for what he's doing. Normally you'd file a civil suit, and even then you may or may not get money out of him. If enough people he's ripped off file a class action and ask for...

Total volume of 19 cu. ft. per tank, you only fill 2/3rds capacity, subtract about a cu. ft. for the gravel, that's 12 cu. ft., times two tanks, times $30 per, that's $720. With tanks that size, I don't replace the gravel with tanks that size, I just put a hose in the riser tube keeping it...

Why are they replacing the valve and the RO tank? Sounds like they're padding the bill.

And San Antonio has better water quality than most in Texas. One guy told me his was 400 grains. The TDS was also so bad he ended up having to run everything on RO.

Then you will always have hard water before it regenerates. That's how it has to work unless you oversize the softener and regenerate it before it's giving hard water. So with a single tank, you either ALWAYS have to oversize, or you ALWAYS have to let it run hard, or you ALWAYS have to...

You're going to call me a condescending prick again, but sometimes that's the only way to answer the questions that you ask here. The best soap for brush lubricant would be a brush lubricant soap. You don't need low pH or high pH because the brushes are doing the cleaning. You wouldn't brush...
