I sold my car wash last month to 2 partners. The cash component is in the 150k range. I wonder what the odds are that 1 partner ends up doing more work than the other, becomes resentful and starts pocketing extra cash from the split. I didn't know if anyone had info on how partnerships worked...

Being a Canadian, i have watched how the media and opposition parties have blamed your president for the death toll. Here in Canada, both the media and the opposition parties haven't done that. It's been treated here as a heath issue that's the responsibility of the province and the local health...

I removed a R.O membrane because I thought it was bad. I installed a new one only to find out the problem wasn't the membrane. I put the old membrane in my R.O storage tank to keep it wet and under water. Years ago I took out a good membrane and stored it dry in my equipment room. When I went to...

After many years, my R.O membrane needed replacement. It went from 1.5 gpm to 3.5 gpm instantly. Bit's of the membrane were found in the storage tank. The TDS was at 90 in the storage tank. I installed a new membrane. When I first pressurized the new membrane it was flowing at 3 gpm@170 psi. I...

I have used both Viton and Teflon check valves. The Teflon seem to last longer but don't seal as well under lower pressures. Viton check valves seal better but are prone to break completely in failure. I'm kind of on the fence on which one to use. They are used for the various functions that you...

Had to fix a broken gun again. It's a drive-in, back out bay. The equipment room is on the backside of the bay, with the coin box in the center of the back wall of the equipment room. The gun is beside the coin box. While this setup is great for pulling coins from inside the equipment room, it...

The new magikist coin acceptor has a glitch that I found after a few days of operation. It's the new cp990 that has been out for a little while. If a customer inserts their coin fast, the acceptor won't accept them. The customer then gets more excited and puts the coin in even faster, making the...

I am currently doing daily C.C settlement/batching, but I apparently can do a weekly settlement/batching. This would save some of the cost of daily batching and make my monthly bank statement a lot smaller. Has anyone switched to weekly batching and is there any problems doing so? My bank...

I bought a new membrane to have as a spare. Because it was a different brand than the one that was installed, I wanted to test it out to make sure it would work. I installed it and it worked fine. I stored the original membrane in the equipment room.It was working perfectly. Fast forward 5 years...

I was thinking about trying the ametek eternity vac motors, instead of the cheapie Kleen-rite vmk-19 that I have been buying. Has anybody tried these ? Are the bearings superior and do the brushes really last 2-3 times longer? Is the 50% cost premium worth it?

Has anyone else had trouble with the pvc end caps on their membrane tubes cracking. It a Ginsan r.o machine. It's a fine hairline crack that usually goes between the inlet and outlet fittings. Is this a result of the cycling of 170 psi on and off, which causes a eventual stress crack. This is...
