    Gas Prices..

    I bought a Duramax in 2003 when fuel was <$1.00/gal. IIRC, fuel prices doubled 2 months later. Grrr! I just bought a new truck in Dec. It doesn’t like regular gasoline! Grrrrrrrrr! My service call fee includes travel and the first 30 minutes of diagnosis and repair. I’ll be adjusting that to 15...

    Pulsating Pressure Hose

    #1 Remove and inspect valves...broken valve o-rings and backup rings or something stuck inside the valve will cause pulsation #2 Check soap and wax supply lines...leaking fittings or hoses will allow air into the pump If neither completely solves the problem...new seal kit. If the pump is as old...

    Reverse Osmosis Reject Water.

    The purpose of a backwashing valve is to sufficiently reclassify the carbon media so that channeling is less likely to occur…commonly ~6.5 GPM for a constant 10-minutes. Another benefit of a backwashing control valve is to eliminate small and broken carbon granules (fines) as they would be...

    32 degree nozzles

    I recommend 3206 to all my clients. I’ve never been a fan of 15-25° tips…too narrow of a pattern, imho. Talk about impressing customers… Before drought conditions required “Water Department Certification”, I operated at 1,200psi at the guns with 07 tips for many years. Customers would comment...

    Modulating Condensing boiler service

    Service call to restore a troublesome 5 year old Lochinvar Armor. Site Manager stated “Maintenance required” has been displayed since he’s been employed. Difficulty accessing User Interface…wonky display. Finally got the Fault screen to display ”Flame Sense” (10 times). Quite apparent that the...

    Cordless Dremel recommendation

    I developed an addiction to Milwaukee cordless tools several years ago. So, one of their Rotary tools (along with a few of it's M12 friends) lives in my 3-drawer Packout. It's saved the day on several occasions. I have 6 batteries so one of them is usually in a good state-of-charge.

    Need to see a clean box...

    How’s this? It’s a junction box for a single self service bay. The 120v to 24v transformer powers the solenoids, coin acceptor, timer, and motor starter coil. The 240v, three phase motor starter powers the pump motor when high pressure systems are selected. The Terminal strip is for...

    How do I add a buzzer?

    If you don't wish to replace coin box face plates for display timers... IDX makes a "L" version of their AT411E timer. You'll need an available wire from the timer to each coin box and 24 volt AC horns. IDX AT411EL .pdf Kleen-Rite's Listing

    Pulsating high pressure

    It might be a caused by an air leak in the plumbing to the pump…like where the soap and wax supply connects to the pump. Maybe try running the pump after removing and plugging the soap/wax inlet fittings at the pump. If it now runs smoothly, look for cracked, loose, poorly taped fittings. Air...

    Selling my wash

    That’s what I did after I sold my wash. I figured the sale proceeds would cover me for a few years…at least until I broke into the top ten. 5 years later, I’m almost out of money and still “Can’t Break 80!” :ROFLMAO:

    Hose length

    Yeah, right about knee height works nicely. And, each location is different...there is no standard hose length. 13' headroom? 16' headroom? Somewhere in between? Straight or "Z" boom? Extended boom mounting bracket or flush to the purlins?

    No BUG Remover/Presoak/ Tire Cleaner getting to wand

    Most likely its a problem with the chemical pump(s). If they're air-powered - check the air supply. If they're motorized - check for power to the motor.

    Dixmor led 7

    White wire is the load or timed output. No 24v probably means the triac has failed.
