    Question about relays for Air Shamee motors

    Would one like this work? I use these for my vacuums and have several on hand. https://www.zoro.com/square-d-24vac-non-reversing-definite-purpose-contactor-3p-30a-width-25-in-8910dpa33v14/i/G0759455/ This is a 3 pole but I could just use two? One for each leg of the 240v. I could have the two...

    Question about relays for Air Shamee motors

    240v, three motors, single phase. The reason I thought of this is because I know my vacuums have a single relay driving two motors, so it seems like I should be able to do the same with the three air shamee motors. But then why do the install instructions have three separate relays?

    Question about relays for Air Shamee motors

    With the single phase Air Shamee motor setup with 3 motors, I currently have 3 separate relays, one for each motor. I had one go bad and caused the fuse inside my bay faceplate to burn out, but the problem was I had no way to tell which of the three relays caused it so I just replaced all...

    Dispense two different functions from same foamy coil hose?

    Looks like that could do the trick - appreciate it thanks!

    Dispense two different functions from same foamy coil hose?

    Sounds like the 2 second idea could work. What sort of equipment is needed to implement that? Some pictures would help me get an idea if you have any!

    Dispense two different functions from same foamy coil hose?

    Aha - that’s what I had in mind when I started the thread. I must not have known what to search for. I wonder if the individual tubes are big enough to dispense enough product though? They must be significantly smaller than the 3/8” I have now.

    Dispense two different functions from same foamy coil hose?

    I don’t think the hose is specially made for triple foam? Mine rotates the colors with solenoids in the equipment room and the hose is just a regular coiled hose.

    Dispense two different functions from same foamy coil hose?

    It doesn’t freeze where I am so that’s not going to be an issue. If I have two different chemicals coming into the top of a 25 ft 3/8” foamy coil hose, you think it will clear within a few seconds? I was assuming it would take longer and not work very well.

    Dispense two different functions from same foamy coil hose?

    I currently have triple foam dispensed from a foamy coil hose and the rubber gun. I would like to add another low pressure foamy product (like presoak) and be able to dispense it from the same gun, but I imagine it would take too long for the first product to clear the hose before the new...

    Bonus time LED7

    Why would you want to give bonus time for $5 and $10 bills but not 5x or 10x $1 or coins? That makes no sense.

    Hand Held Dryers

    I have both the 3 phase and the single phase with 3 small motors. If you have the option of 3 phase they are MUCH better. You never have to do anything. For the single phase version I have probably replaced 5-10 of the motors over the last few years and have to replace the motor brushes every so...

    Kleenrite rewards

    If you use points for free shipping and some items are backordered, they will ship for free when back in stock. At least that’s been my experience the last few times.

    Kleenrite rewards

    The 40lb box free shipping is the best use. There are no measurements for the “box”, it’s just based on the weight that the website shows for the items in your cart. I often order big bulky things and they ship in several boxes but as long as the total weight is less than 40lbs it’s free...

    Turbulence in Main Tank causing Hydrominder problems

    Use a different type of valve. Hydrominder is meant for mixing chemicals, not filling a rinse tank.

    New vacs

    Post a picture, I am sure someone here can help identify the model and how to replace the bags. They are probably attached on top where the motors are. You can certainly replace the bags. No need to spend thousands on new vacuums.

    Theft / vandalism in desperate times

    Cameras are well worth the $. Mine have paid for themselves many times over. Most recent was a huge truck that damaged my bay. Got licence plate and DOT number off cameras and contacted company and their insurance had to pay for the repairs which would have cost me a lot more than the cameras...

    vac nozzles

    The problem with those is if you have to take the swivel part out it’s a bear.. have to heat up the grey part to make it expand a bit and then pry out the clear plastic piece

    Went to count up mode in my bays

    I just checked my CryptoPay sales at one location and today alone I see sales of $14, $16, $17, and highest was $22.94. And this is with count DOWN so they have to press the button for every dollar above the $5 minimum. If you set your max to $10 you could very well be missing out on higher sales.

    vac nozzles

    Mine always look like that. Maybe I’ve been doing it wrong? I usually push it in as far as I can and then back it out just slightly to let it swivel better, and then put a screw straight through the cuff and nozzle to hold it in place. Seems to work but does look a bit weird.

    Wash bay camera placement

    Don’t mount them too high up or you’ll be seeing the tops of heads instead of faces, and you won’t be able to see license plates. Mine are mounted in the corners of bays and I wipe them off maybe once every two months. I have them pointed toward the meter boxes/timers so I can tell if the...
