    Early Summer Paint Job

    Looks like a former Super Wash.

    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.

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

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

    RO - Membranes

    I'm not sure I'm reading this thread correctly. You want to do a chlorine test AFTER the carbon filter, and before entering the RO system. Chlorine murders the membranes. At our wash, we do a chlorine test (a swimming pool test kit works for us) monthly. We have great incoming water, and I...

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

    I'm having new decals made for my self serve bays. Has anyone replaced the "stop" with something else? When credit card customers "stop", they mistakenly think that the rotary switch stops the CC charges, instead of using the stop button on the CC swiper. What about replacing "stop" with the...

    Meter box custom decals

    I need a good recommendation for custom meter box decals. I remember reading something recently (on the forum), but I can't find the link.

    Upgrading an RO system

    The cost of water, and more so, the sewer....is very high in my location. At some point, it's cheaper to accept the lower life of the membranes in exchange for lower operating costs. The question, is where to draw that line. Yes, the quality of the water here is excellent. The feedwater has...

    Upgrading an RO system

    I still a little confused. Is it best to run a 1:1 product:reject rate (50% recovery), or is it OK to turn up the recirculation and have a 75% (or higher) recovery rate?

    Upgrading an RO system

    I have a 8GPM Procon run by a 1.5 HP Baldor motor in my 2 Membrane setup.

    Upgrading an RO system

    This thread has got me thinking. I wonder if I've been running my unit at less than an "efficient" mode. I had a 1 membrane Applied Membranes unit that was expanded to 2 membranes decades ago (when I added an additional automatic bay). The motor/pump was also up-sized. I've been running the...

    AMS vending machine display

    I used an aftermarket display similar to this: AMS Sensit 2 or 3 LED Display Board – Aftermarket | Snack Attack Vending LLC Vending Machine Service (snackattacknow.com) I believe it's a Winstar EH 1602A. Double check. I found this in my files: 16x2 Dot Matrix Characters VFD Display...

    Do you know if your former Super Wash was once owned by a USAir Pilot?
