I have a list somewhere around here

Be advised that as of the end of 2024, Fleck (historically, the most common brand of water treatment equipment in carwashes that I am aware of) discontinued production of about 2400 parts. The very long list includes some replacement parts for more than a dozen water treatment valves. Some of...

As of about 3 weeks ago, Fleck sent out a message to their distributors identifying a large number of parts they will no longer be making. I can get more info/specifics on this if people are interested. Russ

We've had good luck with Axeon membranes over the years. We stock their 4040's @ 225 psi, 150 psi, 100 psi, and 80 psi. We also have the full lineup of Filmtec membranes.

If you get up on a ladder and look at that DM2 inline TDS meter on your RO, here's what you'll see. This meter has cables running to two separate TDS probes. Typically, one is mounted on the RO feedwater (which should be after your carbon tank and softener), and the other is mounted on the...

Rather than add a DI tank to your set up, I'd concentrate on tweaking your RO system so that it produces permeate with a lower TDS. I don't like where this is mounted because you need to be keeping tabs on what the gauges tell you, and what the DM2 inline TDS meter (the small white box at the...

Maybe this will help. A twin tank alternating softener is installed so that the softener can produce softened water 24/7/365 without interruption. Components of the softener and carbon tank valve need periodic maintenance.

We have a customer on well water in South Dakota - he reports 2400 ppm TDS. :oops:

Making assumptions about a bunch of variables, here's some comparative info with ballpark $. The old Fleck 9500 is a 1.5" brass body, metered, twin valve. The cost of that valve and associated parts (not including tanks, media, etc) is about $3200. An assembly of Clack parts (two brass 1.5"...

I'm happy to quote whatever you need. Russ

There are much more cost-effective solutions for the same equipment they provide.

So you must be dosing an anti-scalant?

Check your PM's!

Great opportunity to install a new Clack brand valve.

I assume you mean a twin tank alternating softener, right? So you've put Tank 1 through a manual regen and each phase of the regen is working properly? Have you done any maintenance on the softener valve? What valve(s) do you have?

Out of a 1.5" pipe at typical pressures I'd expect 40 to 70 gpm. 65 to 120 gpm from a 2" 80 to 170 gpm from a 2.5" A quick and dirty calculation for flow from a pipe is diameter squared times 20, so for a 2" pipe: 2*2*20=80 gpm Russ

Depending on the valve you have on your softener, remember that may also be a tool you can use to log water use.

Same here

I've also had good luck with wet and forget. In this application it was algae growing on vinyl siding on the north side of the house. Been several years since I sprayed it and the algae has never come back.
