I built my own air dryer using an electric fan and a hydraulic oil cooler. I plumbed the hot compressed air to flow through the heat exchanger. I mounted an electric fan to run across the heat exchanger whenever the compressor runs. The cooling effect condenses the moisture from the moist...

You want to run the output through a relay anyway. Years ago, I had a electrical short fry the output of my WeepMiser. Now, the output runs a (hockey puck style solid state) relay....and this relay controls the weep solenoids. Any issues, and the $25 relay gets ruined instead of the...

My ARO pumps are 66605J-344 teflon models (1/2" non-metalic). Here's a cut/paste of my order from theoringstore.com: 34 ea. AS568-116 B70 (NBR) Buna-N Nitrile 70 Duro O-Ring $1.02 100 ea. AS568-014 B70 (NBR) Buna-N Nitrile 70 Duro O-Ring $1.10 30 ea. AS568-014 V75 Fluorocarbon FKM...

Do you know what actually wears out? I've got 8 ARO pumps at my wash. They are almost trouble free. When the pump starts to "slow" down....I found that replacing the O-rings and seals in the air shuttle...gives the pump a new life. Instead of buying (the expensive) ARO air service kit, I get...

Most jurisdictions do not allow domestic water heaters to be used in hydronic setups (ASME code????). I do believe, however, that there are tankless ASME certified setups....but they cost a lot more. You'd better check the code before spending $$$$$.

Ditto to replacing the anodes regularly. My first tank lasted 8 years. I'm still on my second one 20 years later, but I replace the anodes with magnesium rods every 2 years. One problem replacing the tank....check the size of the boiler feeding the storage tank. If it's over a certain size...

The no-names I use give me 1-2 TDS. FWIW, I've never had a customer ask me if the RO water was made by Filmtec.....

Several years back, I took a chance and bought 2 4x40 membranes from Costal Water Filters on eBay. $175 each, and they have worked perfectly fine for me. Search for: CW XLE-4040 Replaces AXEON HF4-4040 & HF5-4040 RO Membrane 4" x 40" 2600 HF4 HF5

FWIW, 4 years ago I replaced my 1000W Metal Halide Floodlight with a 300 W led from ledlightexpert.com. The fixture had a 5 year, no questions asked guarantee. I noticed several LED's had failed in the fixture. They replaced it with an upgraded version....and I couldn't be happier. I have no...

My ACW 4 went out of service with a "Token Input Stuck" error. I reset the the controller, and it went back into service. My first guess....would be to suspect the Slugbuster....yes? BTW....we DO use the Token input to accept brass tokens....and we also use the WashGear Credit card system...

You're missing the point. A pump stand (as you pictured) cannot be set up to be "a motor-pump set up to be 180 out". There's NO such thing, in a 3 phase system. If you wire the pump stand....to your breaker box....and the cat pump is turning opposite to the arrow on the side of the...

I know NOTHING about Kleen Rite branded equipment. I can see (in the pictures) Cat Pumps, and what looks like Baldor 3 phase motors and Allen Bradley contactors. Those are quality brands. I DO see the manifold block suspended by (what appears to be...) a 1/2 brass hex nipple. Yea, that...

Sounds like the motor turning backwards. Gee, in a three phase system, just reverse any two wires.....yes? Installer error.

Your coin switch is out of adjustment. There are two styles...new and old. The old ones work better. If you are using quarters, there needs to be 1/8" gap set. Hamilton has instructions on how to do it (old style). Supposedly, the new style doesn't need to be adjusted. I NEVER had one work...

You could use a Programmable Logic Relay....and program it to do what you need. I used a Moeller Easy Relay. I have 3 self service bays. When any of the bays selects Foam Brush, an air solenoid opens on my foam brush pump. Likewise for Tire Cleaner, and PreSoak soap. I used 9 inputs to...

My vending machine needs a replacement for an older Mars (MEI) CF-7512. It's been overhauled, but is finally wearing out. Does anyone have any experience with the CPI Gryphon? I need to find a reliable MDB coin changer....so recommendations are welcome.

I have a 28 year old Cat 623 that has been a workhorse. The crankshaft bearing failed (on the flywheel side) and completely disintegrated. The oil in the crankcase has a grey sludge as a result. I replaced the pump with an Arimitsu 511. It's smaller, and very quiet. (Less than $800) I just...

I use the (4) relay board to remotely reset and remotely activate my 2 automatic bays. When someone has an issue with an auto-bay, I can reset that bay, and then activate my highest wash. This has saved me driving in many times. Well worth the $35.

Wash once a month???? You must have a LOT of free time. We wash ours annually. In between....besides shaking every other day....we take a toilet cleaning brush and run it up and down inside the bags monthly.

I bought a 4 relay USB relay board by Denkovi for about $35 (check eBay). It allows me to close 4 different relays via the internet. You could use this device to open/close your doors if you have door operators. The Denkovi device connects to the PC at my car wash, via USB. I access the car...
