    Spot Free Membrane sources -

    I've always bought my ro membranes at either a local supply or from Kleen-rite, but Amazon has these for about $60 cheaper .. I assume they are all made basically the same? This company has a brackish water (BW), extreme low pressure (xlp), and an ultra low pressure (ulp) version. I've talked...

    Solid State Timer for Spot Free System

    Evidently these aren't made much anymore .. I've googled and can't seem to find them anywhere. I believe it's referred to as an 'interval' timer - It allows the solenoid to open for a set amount of time when the spot free maker activates which allows most of the water to be rejected (I assume...

    No brine draw -- old Fleck softener

    Have an old (possibly Fleck 9000?) softener, brine is not drawing in. Checked the assembly in the brine tank, everything is clear -- can blow/suck through it, marble floats like it's supposed to. Not getting suction through the line, but am getting water back out to the tank when it's time to...

    Chemical backflow possibility through Hydrominder

    Does anyone know if the venturi effect created by the educator of the Hydrominder would work in reverse? Say if the hydrominder was stuck open, and there was suction on the line instead of pressure coming in, would it still suck the chemical back into the city water or is the educator designed...

    Replacement Timer for old Coleman Spot Free System

    Looking to see if anyone knows of a replacement for this timer (pics below) .. no real markings on it except for a handwritten label, was installed in 1993 according to the sharpie written note! Looks like 8 terminals on each side - 2 terminals for 24v ac, 2 for n.o. switch, then 6 inputs...

    Sensortron troubles -

    I need some help from hopefully Dan if he's checking the forums or one of you other electronics wizards.. One of my bays has a Sensortron that is rejecting all quarters. I've swapped out to a new sensortron, same thing. I swapped one from another bay and it does the same thing, and then put...

    Pics of Cryptopay/Credit Swiper box setup

    I'm beginning the process of researching adding credit cards to the bays; unfortunately, my first location's boxes will be too small for the swiper, so it'll need to go on the brick. Wanted to see if anyone had some pictures if they've had to set theirs up in the same manner - here's a look at...

    Compressor problem - tripping breaker when trying to start under pressure

    I've got a Puma pk5030v compressor which has started to trip the breaker when it tries to start up with pressure in the tank. The motor tries to turn the pump, but it can't get it moving and then trips the breaker. When I expel all the air and let it start up with an empty tank, it will kick...

    O-ring for 4" RO Housing

    Do any of you guys know the size for the o-ring that sits between the black cap and the housing for a 4"x40" RO setup, looks like the one pictured below? The housing I have has been leaking from the endcap -- I think whomever replaced the o-ring before used one a bit too thin, and it is able to...

    Looking for a simple alarm system

    Does anyone know of a simple, no-frills alarm system still available? The only thing I need is one that will auto-alarm/disarm at set times (for example, arm itself at 11pm, disarm at 6am). It can be wired or wireless, but I don't have internet at this location..so a self contained one is...

    CoinCo Mag getting strung

    I've got an old CoinCo Mag in my WSII pay station for my auto. Looks like someone figured out how to string it -- they're not getting much (few quarters gone), but I've found 3 20's with string in the validator in the past one and a half months, so they must be getting something..or they're not...

    Wheels for Touchfree Auto

    I'm looking for a place to get a couple of idler/drag wheels like the one below. It's for a Futura/Specialty Auto (who of course has been out of business for a while), and am hoping maybe these wheels are kinda of standard for some autos? The inside part of the wheel is the part I need .. it's...

    ISO 8' - 2 bulb lighting fixture

    Anyone know where I can find some 8' 2-bulb lighting fixtures -- just the empty fixture, no ballast included. I'd rather find the single pin ends, but could work with the HO dual ends if needed. Everywhere I search I find them with ballasts installed .. I would like just the fixture if...

    Alamo/Fleck Softener Meter replacement

    The meter in my water softener has gone out, and through searches here it looks like MEP and a few others have a good bit of experience with these. Anything I should wary of when replacing the meter? Of course, it's an old softener, model #'s are gone -- I assume it's a Fleck 9000 when...

    Rowe Power Control Center 65073501

    I realize Rowe was bought out, but any idea if American will still service Rowe parts? I've got a message in to American, but you guys usually answer faster than they do. I've got a PCC #65073501 that must have a short in the circuit board -- goes to error message 'bucket not open' when trying...

    Speed Reducer expertise needed

    I had one of the speed reducers on my old Specialty 'DynaWash' go out today (it's been on there probably 10+years or more). I was able to clean up the name plate and what I could see was it was a Grove Gear HMQ218-1, 56c Frame, 40:1 ratio. Looks like a 5/8" input shaft, with a 1" thru output...

    Best Floor Switch?

    I think I'm going to try to put something together like Soapy's done for a treadle and use a pressure switch. Does anyone have and good/bad experiences with certain brands? I'm looking at the ones from Kleen-rite -- Recora & London Mat. Also, Soapy (and whoever else may have done this), what...

    Homemade Virtual Treadle

    Two of my touch free autos still have the old metal treadles, and I'd say that 95% of the calls I get are from people that don't stop in the correct spot. I'm thinking of just replacing the treadle with two photoeyes, one on each wall that see each other .. when the beam is broken by the front...
