    Dampeners

    Kleen rite used to have rebuildable dampers. I don't see them on their website presently. I think they were made my hypro. They have replaceable diaphragms. I also use pulsation hoses like these. Pulsation...

    Cat 1010 pump gets hot

    I'm sorry, yes it's a BR10. Also.. Yes the bypass is plumbed back into the pump. I wonder how this just got noticed after 30 years.....

    Cat 1010 pump gets hot

    In thirty years in this business, I've never seen this. I have a single Cat 1010 that supplies my spot free water to my 3 Self Serve bays via 3 solenoids. I noticed that the pump sounded slightly rougher than normal. The output (and also bypass) hose was pulsating somewhat. I brushed my arm...

    Car Wash Stands who is the best?

    Ditto the belt guards on the motors/pumps..... It wouldn't be far fetched to "trip" and fall, and then lose some fingers. Also, get a decent air compressor. That Husky from Lowe's will fail you at the worst time. (You can plumb it in as a backup....) Consider a Quincy, or Champion. They're...

    Any Use Arcadian Products

    I've been using the Arcadian products, happily, for 25+ years. Titanium 1 and 2 have been my touchless chemicals for the same amount of time. I purchase the Titanium in 55 gallon barrels. Every thing else in 5 gallon pails. I'm in PA, and my last large order had 3-55 gallon barrels, and 13-5...

    AlamoBrand Carbon Filter (Model N2058)

    Looks like a Fleck head. The head simply "fluffs" the carbon in the tank by backwashing. Set the head to Backwash twice a week (Tuesday and Friday nights at 2am) for 20 minutes or so....and you'll likely be good to go. BTW, you should have a "cutout" which turns your RO OFF while in...

    Look familiar? www.pghsuperwash.com I've had the wash almost 30 years. I left "Super Wash" after about 4 years. They didn't like the idea that I installed foam brushes.

    Do you use screens on the inlets to your hydrominders? Are they necessary?

    Early Summer Paint Job

    Arcadian Chemical modified a lot of those washes. The roof trough was one of those modifications. If you want to consider upgrading, check out the second post in the following link. A nice, tidy setup. The "L" shape makes servicing easier than the "U" shaped trough. (2) Looking for ideas |...

    I know Pascal. He was indeed a USAir pilot based in PHL. There was another wash in the Wilkes-Barre area that was originally a Super Wash. It was built by another USAir Pilot named Narcy. You know anything about him?

    Replacing the Solid State relays on IVS Select-A_Vac

    I'll get some pictures ASAP. The unit is dated 2003. It has "Mega-Vac IVS" decals on the tank. The decals (I think) are original. The plexiglass has been replaced with a Fragramatics "Select-a-Vac" window. The front door is One piece. The coin mech is a Sensotron. The display is an IDX...

    Replacing the Solid State relays on IVS Select-A_Vac

    That's actually a good idea. The device across the inputs HAS to be some kind of suppression device. Those vac motors are electrically noisy. Switching from 2 to 3 motors would involve some "noise" during the startup....which could, in turn, cause the inputs to sense the noise instead of...

    Replacing the Solid State relays on IVS Select-A_Vac

    I have a 20 year old Industrial Vac Systems "Select-A_Vac". It allows the customer to select either a 2 or 3 motor suction. The unit still works fine. However, the contact blocks and Solid State relays are badly corroded. It's impossible to even turn the screws on the contacts. I'm going to...

    Black Coin return cup for Sensotron

    The black, coin return (Half moon shaped) cups on my Sensotron coin acceptors need replacing. Kleen-rite shows two different cups. CB0221 and CB0222. Does anyone know the difference between these two parts and/or which one would work with my acceptors?

    RO - Membranes

    Yes. It's worked very well for me in my Applied Membranes system. Again, I'm NOT associated with the eBay seller in any way, except that I've been very pleased with the price and performance of this membrane.

    Replacing "STOP" with "PAUSE" on Self Serve Decal?

    It was suggested to me, to consider adding a note (to the decal) that says, "STOP, does not stop the charges".

    RO - Membranes

    I've purchased XLE (Extra Low Energy) 4040 Membranes from Coastal Water Filters on eBay with good success. I run them between 80-100psi (depends on time of year). Right now, they're about $175. I have ZERO affiliation with them. I'm just a satisfied customer.

    Did you use "Pause", or "OFF"?
