Automatic Screen washers...?
« on: September 05, 2014, 11:15:39 AM »
does anybody here use one? are they worth the hassle or are they flat out messy like TP's blade runner? I see that CCI makes a few options as well as a few other companies. for the cost, i would really like to investigate one of these things and get some inside knowledge. I can see a huge time savings for us putting the screen in dirty, pull it out clean....IF it works like that....

Rich showed us few screens going thorough their unit and it was impressive. 'lotsa money though!

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

My experiences: the lesser expensive ones work from not very well to not at all: The more expensive ones do and they are waaaay more expensive. That said theres one for 6 grand on DS that looks well built. All the ones I've used in the past required manual backup labor.
