    Flow meters on low pressure functions??

    Who has them? My current setup only uses air regulators for each function but there's some irregularities among the product in different bays. Some bays tend to foam a little more and some a little less. Would adding flow meters on each function for each bay allow me to really dial everything in...

    I’ve got a twin head softener from Velocity Water Works. I need to replace the media and gravel. The shipping for 3 bags of media and 1 bag of gravel comes to almost $600. Shipping is as much as the actual product. Where do you guys buy your media from? Is that shipping cost normal?

    Parker paraflex

    Any use paraflex before? I ordered if thinking it was regular nylon tubing but it feels much stiffer. Does it hold up ok? I’m concerned about it potentially busting in cold weather? So far all my nylon tubing has been fine.

Apparently this has to be wired into the float switch. My current float switch just has an outlet plug on the end of it like the picture below...

    Problems with Changer

    I’m having issues with my changer not dispensing coins. I took it the hopper apart and it appears the red conveyor has worn down over time. Am I correct in assuming that the notches on the conveyor should fit nicely into the track? Mine appear to be extremely worn down. When I opened the...

    My wash is shut down due to cold weather. I stopped by today just to check on things and my flojet for the FB is periodically pulsing. Does this mean one of my solenoids is leaking or hung open?
