    Electrical problem with spot free

    My spot free decided to stop working today. After probing around with a voltmeter it seems like one of these resistors (? Edit: googling the markings, might be “bridge rectifiers” whatever that is?) might be the issue. I am getting 24v on the left side but nothing on the right side when it goes...

    Where to buy LED modules for Dixmor 2000-2?

    I have some LED modules that have burned out and need to be replaced. I bought the modules from Dixmor before but they are currently out of stock. I found an older post on here with a product on mouser.com but I bought them and they are not the right size. Anyone know where I can buy more of these?

    Need Help. Please. I own a Reverse Osmosis Machine from 1989

    Ok then it’s like MEP001 said, it’s likely the solenoid on the incoming water supply that is bad and letting water through even when it’s off.

    Need Help. Please. I own a Reverse Osmosis Machine from 1989

    The float at the top tells the system when the tank is full and to stop adding product. The float at the bottom tells the system that sends the water to the bays to shut off if the water level gets too low so you don’t damage the pump. Is your RO system running when this water continually...

    Contemplating going Cashless?

    For those of you with 50%+ credit card sales, do you charge the same minimum amount for cash or cards? My locations have higher credit card minimums ($5) to keep the fees lower.

    Possible to repair severely vandalized vacuum meter box?

    Excellent advice - thank you! If it can be bolted on that would be MUCH easier than finding someone to weld the stainless steel. I will call JE Adams tomorrow.

    Possible to repair severely vandalized vacuum meter box?

    More fun at the car wash. Some genius spent several hours over two separate days breaking into one of my vacuums and severely damaged the meter box and faceplate (and got maybe $5 if he was lucky since I had just emptied it). I am hoping it might be possible to cut this damaged one off and...

    Solenoids for corrosive lo-ph triple foam? (And product suggestions?)

    Something else I just thought of - if I switch to a polish or wax (one of the JBS products, for example), will it still foam well? I would like the customer to have a good show. Any pictures or videos of some of these products would be great if anyone has some!

    Solenoids for corrosive lo-ph triple foam? (And product suggestions?)

    I see KR has several different ones: “Glow Foam Polish”, “Glow Foam Wax”, and then “Glow Foam Ceramic Finish” (but that last one says it’s for automatics). What’s the difference between the polish and the wax?

    Solenoids for corrosive lo-ph triple foam? (And product suggestions?)

    Yea, seems like high pH or low pH will be problematic for this type of triple foam system. The Simoniz UVP was previously recommended when I originally made this thread but isn’t that a low pH product...

    Solenoids for corrosive lo-ph triple foam? (And product suggestions?)

    Seems like polish would be safe since it is not low pH. Hard to know which one to try though. Anyone have pictures/videos of their triple foam that looks really good?

    Solenoids for corrosive lo-ph triple foam? (And product suggestions?)

    Thanks Greg! Our chemical manufacturer is Blue Coral / Armorall and I just looked at their offerings and I see Armorall makes several Polishes and Clear Coat polishes. Anyone use these and have any opinions?

    Solenoids for corrosive lo-ph triple foam? (And product suggestions?)

    Bumping my old thread to ask for a bit more advice. After the help in this thread from a few years ago, I switched away from the “lo pH” product to a neutral product and my triple foam solenoids have been fine ever since. But now I am basically just dispensing colored soap which is not good...

    Could it also be a washed out head?

    Dollar coin shortage?

    The saga continues. My local branch has twice now placed and order, and both times the dollar coins don’t get delivered. They have been ordering them the same way for me for years and all of a sudden they are having problems. They said they will call the rep on the phone tomorrow and ask what’s...

    Dollar coin shortage?

    I talked to another branch who claims they can order them for me. I am hoping the first branch was misinformed, thinking the general coin shortage applied to all coins. Crossing my fingers that I’ll be able to get dollar coins next week otherwise I’ll be scrambling to switch to tokens.

    Dollar coin shortage?

    My bank always orders the coins for me when I ask, and this is the first time I have heard they can’t get any. I am using MicroCoin acceptors. Any particular token suggestions for those? I think my competitors use dollar coins but that might not be true for much longer if this is really true..

    Dollar coin shortage?

    Anyone else experiencing a dollar coin shortage? I have had no problems the whole pandemic but just now my local bank said they are unable to get any dollar coins. Anyone else hearing this? If I have to switch to tokens, what are the best ones to use? Hopefully something the same size as dollar...

    American Changer / Universal Hopper - anyone still use these?

    Haven’t heard from @Tom Thumb yet. Last chance before I let @slash007 have them.

    American Changer / Universal Hopper - anyone still use these?

    @Tom Thumb and @slash007 both expressed interest. @Tom Thumb responded first, so if you want both I will send them to you. If you only want one then I will give the second one to @slash007. No need to pay for them since I can’t guarantee they work, but covering shipping would be appreciated...
