Finally got rid of my outdated drop shelf vendors and got a National Spiral Vendor. I had some issues setting it up to vend Little Trees. Every Youtube Video and any directions I could find says to put products in so the bottom of the package is flat on bottom of shelf, not supposed to ride on...

Same....Happens more in the winter obviously with ruptured mains. Our town has a "One Call" to where I get a notification on my phone where the main break is. It lets me know if I have to take action...Most of the time, they don't shut off the water. They repair the break with a clam shell...

I live in a town where there are 3 carwashes...5000-6000 population...One of the washes close on Sunday, 4 ss bays and an automatic....Your comment is true, I have picked up a lot of business because of this. While I don't understand the practice since the cw runs unattended, I'm not complaining...

There are many charts online and also a chart that comes with every hydrominder...I've always used the Scotch Plaid chart and have it printed for the ER...The only addition I would add, is soap and wax can easily be adjusted using needle valves once you've started with the recommmeded "Tip" and...

Bad foot valve alowing water to syphon back into the chemical bucket. Do you have an anti-syphon hole in the disharge hose in the chemical tank...

The FL1F is the newer series controller updated from the FL1A series. It has double the function blocks, 400 now instead of 200. It also incorporates new Astronomical function blocks to where you can build a lighting program that uses latitude and longitude for on/off timing. Pretty neat... I...

You might look into downloading the WindLGC Software so you can build and test your program on a pc...Its much easier than building on the plr screen...You don't need to buy anything untill you are ready to upload the program to the PLR...When I purchased my license, it was around $70, I'm sure...

That looks correct comparing to my flow rates, you will have a range of 12.8 oz per minute to 85.3 oz per minute. My PS flows at 25gpm (53.3 oz per minute) so you should be in the range plus have plenty of leeway either way. SS wetted parts means that the inserts are Stainless Steel, which you...

Yes, that would be the next best thing!

Your Math is off by a decimal! 10oz per minute is .078gpm. or 4.68gph.... Check the pdf below. It shows the different flow meters by PN. The VFB series have a 4" scale, the VFA series have a 2" scale. The ones I use on PS are the VFA-44-SS (no metering valve) 8-40gph or 17-85oz per minute or...

Curious, on the solenoid manifold on the top left, what are the smaller white tubing that is tee'd in to the outputs?

My flow rates to give you an idea on which Flow Meter to get: Soap and Wax: 10oz per minute flow into the HP pump. I install the appropriate tip in the hydrominder to give me the show I'm looking for at 10oz flow into the pump. So many variables that afects every aspect of this. Water quality...

Here is a closeup of the brackets during the build of the LP manifolds...The Dwyers have mounting holes on the backside and are bolted through the 1/2" x 2" plate. If you look closely, you can see the metering screws at the base of each liquid solenoid manifold, opposite the outlet ports. The...

Yes... Its kind of hard to see, but each air solenoid manifold is fed by its own regulator. Pressure is the same for each bay. If they were, there would be a metering screw on the opposite side of the outlet ports. Looks like your solenoid is Stainless Steel? Do you know the manufacturer...

Thanks! And the beauty of it all, you get a visual reading of the changes you make instead of running back and forth from the ER to the bay. Once you get the first bay set the way you want it, the rest of the bays are easily set the same. Also note in the top photo for FB and PS, PS is on the...

I don't use regulators for chemical delivery. Regulators are for setting air pressure. You use needle valves to control chemical volume for delivery. I like to use Kip stainless steel solenoids with built in metering valves. I wished Kip made stainless steel solenoid manifolds....The solenoid...

What pointers do you need? I think I'm about the only one who really likes using flow meters! In my opinion, its the easiest way to make sure the flow rate for each function in every bay is identical regardless of distance from the ER. I have them on soap, wax, foam brush, and pre soak. The...

FWIW....To minimize/reduce moisture, I lowered the cutoff PSI from 125 to 100 on my 80 gallon compressor. The head barely gets warm during a cycle and the air stays cool. It doesn't have to run nearly as long to reach 100 psi...Kick on is 80 psi...Since adjusting the pressure switch, I only have...

Wash Out is what happens when the seals wear out and allow water to errode the metal in the head around the seals. Once this happens, new seals won't fix cavitation. The head will need to be repaired. The thread that I linked to above walks you through every step of this issue with pictures of...

Lots of good information about Wash Out in the thread "Link" below. It used to be a "Sticky" Thread, always visible at the top of the self serve threads....Don't know why its not there any more? (31) Washed out 310 manifolds - With pictures | Car Wash Forum
