    Dispense two different functions from same foamy coil hose?

    The key to rapid product changeover is to run all product lines into a manifold, directly above the foam gun’s boom. Since the individual product lines are always full, changeover time is reduced to 5 seconds or less.

    Triple foam boom

    Noob, 3 product lines, 1 air line, 1 anti-freeze line are connected to a manifold above each bay (Inside an insulated plumbing trough) A single 3/8” poly tube exits the trough and connects to the wall mounted coupling.

    Best Salt Brand for Water Softener

    Yeah, I used 6lbs for years with Bruner softeners. However, as time goes by I've found capacity reductions resulting in hardness leakage. I decided to quit picking nits and just go with 8 lbs.

    Most munis and Colorado’s DOT apply brine mixtures that often include Mag Chloride. It’s difficult to remove so many operators have a “seasonal” selection on the dial... Mag Chloride Remover in the winter, Bug Remover for the rest of the year. Some just swap out PreSoak for Mag...
