Figured it out but will have to fix tomorrow. The gas orifices for the burners adjacent to the pilot are plugged. That’s why there is such a delay after the pilot lights. Should be good in a day or two just in time for the colder weather. Thanks.

Tore apart top half of FH boiler….removed stack and draft diverter. Tube bundle wasn’t sooted up but had a lot of corrosion plugging up a lot of the fins. I used a brush, compressed air and a dental pick and got probably 95% fins cleaned out. I sure this will help the efficiency of the boiler...

reach out to Randy, he knows what he’s talking about. If anyone can get you back in business it’s him.

Pretty it is not but it that Laserdri set up works well. Eventually I’ll have to replace it but I’m not ready to spend $15K a bay yet and that’s something I want to plan, not be forced into. There’s no way I could’ve run that bay with one blower for weeks on end waiting for a dryer set up and...

I know the proper way to clean one is to remove it from the boiler and clean all the fins of soot and whatever else may be clogging it. BUT…..I don’t have time for that, usually the firebrick will need replaced if you do that and did I mention I don’t have time for that? The rollout is pretty...

Got it off. Re-tapped the Jack bolt holefor 3/8” -18 like Our Town suggested (luckily they didn’t pull right out😉). LOTS of heat! Bigger hammer Thanks for the suggestions.

Better than blaster?

The last one that broke simply cracked, went out of balance and tripped the protector. This one failed catastrophically. The missing fan blade in the picture actually got caught in the discharge nozzle safety cage. I found the fan blade welds laying around the bay floor all curled up. They...

Just had another Laserdri Blower Fan break. The blower fan is attached to an 1.25" or 1.5" shaft with a Taperlock Bushing. All three bolts came out of the bushing without an issue this time but the threads for the jack bolts are toast. Cleaned them out with a 5/16" tap but they pulled right...

Have you turned it by hand to feel for any binding? When it shuts off have you checked to see if you still have power to the motor? If so, that motor is thermally protected and it's getting too hot for some reason.

Glad you like it Kimberly. What was the gross income? I'm curious how much you're giving up in fees.

What is the "Bug"? It's nice to know these things. I just had an issue last week with my Wash Select Cryptopay. Our wash had blown a fuse at the transformer so all of our three phase equipment was down as well as everything that was on that leg such as our internet. Lots of equipment seemed...

Where is the wash located geographically? If its a cold climate then the possible 'catastrophic' failures need much quicker responses during freezing temps. Just something to consider. Also, a four bay self serve really isn't much less work than an 8 bay. You still need to go there every day.

According to Unitec we need that exact model. While MDB is supposed to be plug and play/universal, our software is so old they don’t even have anything on hand to test it. They said it’s similar to not having the correct driver for a universal usb printer. So they say?

The 40 degree one is probably the air stat. When temp falls below 40 the pump kicks on. The other one must control the flame. Where does it go to? We monitor the returning fluid temp and shoot for 65. Other people use a slab stat although 90 degrees seems WAY too high. You need to see where...

We have two older Unitec Portals that I am looking for spare validators for. Even though the bill acceptors are MDB, not all MDB acceptors will work. According to Unitec, the software that’s in our Portals will only work with this model bill acceptor. Anyone have a Coinco Mag02BAB they are...

You would wire it in as normally closed like a door contact. Your alarm company should be able to designate whatever zone it is as a ‘supervisory’ zone only so they simply notify you rather than dispatch any police or fire and they should be able to name the zone. Almost all of our zones are set...

Add a 3 phase monitoring relay and tie it into something that notifies you like your auto or alarm system. Even if you piggy back on to something that gets your attention. We have lots of things tied together like low air pressure, low water pressure etc.

That by-pass shouldn't be closed 100%. Open it about a third to half-way open and you'll probably be good.

Mep we've had good success with these... https://www.factorymation.com/Monitoring_qs/3-Phase-Monitoring-Relays_SB How you choose to use them is up to you.
