Thank you for the shout out! And congrats on the raise 🙌

The EPA Section 608 Certification is required to purchase refrigerant in a store. Depending on the type of unit you are servicing, you may only need a Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 EPA Section 608 Certification. However, the most common certification for those working in the field is the Universal EPA Section 608 Certification. This proctored exam covers all types of units. For more information, please visit here ww2.epatest.com/epa-section-608/ The R410A Certification is a supplemental certification available to those who already have an EPA Section 608 Certification. While it's not required to purchase R-410A refrigerant, it is beneficial due to the higher pressures associated with R-410A equipment. If you take the R410A exam without having a Section 608 Certification, your results will show "Passed" instead of "Certified" until you pass an EPA 608 Exam. Hope this helps!

We only recommend this kit primarily for tankless water heaters

Thanks for the idea! I do get this question a fair amount so it might be time to make a video about it.

No, the EPA Section 608 Universal Exam is required to be proctored and no phones are allowed during testing.

@@qwikproduct I don't see my school on the list when choosing a school does it matter which one I pick ?

@@ployth9000 Hi, if you are trying to take our EPA608 Universal exam through ProctorU, you will need to purchase our course first under your EPATest.com account and that will allow you to take it with them bypassing the "select an institution" requirement.

Fantastic! 😃

Hi, the ProctorU test is the Universal Exam so it covers Type 1, 2, 3 and Core. By passing you would be certified to handle refrigerant on any type of unit. The PM, R-410a, and HFO are all separate exams but before you can be certified in any of those subsidiary exams you have to first be 608 certified. Hope this helps!

I'd agree with you on that and keen observation! This demonstration is mainly to show people, visually, how our solution would attack scale. Ideally, this solution should be used for closed-loop systems like a tankless water heater, where it would be more cost-effective to run descaler through it than replacing the pipes or the entire unit. It's just hard to show that visually but we do have a video that attempts to explain it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJm9Z2dri72HZqs

You're correct! It can be flushed either way.

Si realizó el examen en línea con ProctorU, los resultados aparecerán en línea al instante.

Thank you for your question. Our instructions do not recommend putting the descaler solution through a whole home pipe system. We recommend our product primarily on systems that can circulate in isolation (such as a tankless water heater system) so that we can then flush it with copious water while it is still isolated before returning to service.

Hello, thank you for reaching out! There shouldn't be any issue flushing in the other direction. if the color does not change then all the scale should be removed.

Hi, we don't recommend flushing through the TXV or capillary tubes as they may become clogged with particulates.

Yup! This can be used on permanent filters as well.

Hi, yes we recommend you match the same HP as as the original.

Thank you for your question! Light coverage on each side is all that is needed. We don't recommend that it becomes saturated or soaked.

Please help

​@@juicebocs574 Hi, yes go to our website to view the various types of QwikSwaps - www.qwik.com/product/qwikswap-x1-x3-v3/ - but if I understand you correctly you are swapping out what was a variable-speed motor so you would most likely need the QwikSwap V3 designed to be compatible with variable speed motors. Be mindful of the interface on the motor and make sure they match up with the QwikSwap unit before purchasing. If you have any immediate questions feel free to give us a call at as well at (321) 631-3550 or email us directly at [email protected]

Troll much??

Hi, thank you for your question! If I am understanding you correctly then it's important to know the solution will change color (a yellowish or brownish color) when more descaler is needed. Also, the brass fitting has a metal protectant in it and should cause no issues over that time frame, however, we do recommend 10 minutes as the cleaning time as the instructions state. We also recommend users always dilute the descaler solution and stop cycling if the liquid stays red. Once there no color change is occurring then the system is clean of any scale, lime, rust, and other water-formed deposits. At that time, give it a final flush with water and return the unit to service. Also, if you need any walk-through assistance feel free to reach out to us directly as well at [email protected] or call (321) 631-3550

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear it was helpful!

Thank you so much, Ernest!

Thank you for the comment. As a general rule of thumb, if the original motor has a constant torque ECM (X13) style plug, it will be compatible with our QwikSwap X1 and QwikSwap X3. If the original motor is a variable speed ECM (2.0, 2.3, 2.5, 3.0) with a 16 pin or 4 pin plug, it will be compatible with our QwikSwap V3.

@@qwikproduct Thanks for responding. It's a Tempstar furnace, and the wiring diagram inside the bottom cover says DC motor, but everything I can find on the motor (M55bmcnr-216) says it's 230 vac. Very confusing.

Where can I purchase one

@@garyodom7397 Hi! Thank you for your question. Currently you can find them through online retailers such as Lowes, Power Equipment Direct, City Electric Supply, SupplyHouse, Zoro, and others

Good idea! I do know that when making this video, we were hoping to show anyone who is flushing with just nitrogen why using a system flush is more effective than nitrogen alone. Although, your idea would definitely take that concept to the next level! Thanks for the feedback (and for watching 😄)

Thanks for taking a look at our video!

Thank you for the question. It does not require a common wire at the thermostat. It will not drain batteries because it is powered off the unit mains.

Hi Chuck, Thank you for the question. There are 3 mounting holes on the QwikPad that line up with 3 bolt holes at the base of the generator.

@@qwikproduct The Generac man blew smoke when he told me when the unit is mounted on a level pad they only use 2 bolts. Basically he stole some of my hardware by not installing it and taking it with him when he left. I didn't notice until a couple of days later when I opened the lid and looked inside. The engineer designed it to use 3 bolts and the Generac employee decided to use 2.

For application purposes, we opted for a spray bottle. However, we can look into producing gallon-sized products for refills. Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for the comment and for using our product! The QwikSwap V3 will work on the Trane unit that you are referencing. Sometimes the OEM ECM motor has a slightly different program so the QwikSwap needs a one time manual setting on the configuration switches. This setting can be found in appendix A1 in the install instructions. We would also be happy to walk you through it over the phone 321-631-3550. Additionally there is an interactive troubleshooting guide on our website that will walk you through the configuration setting. It is very easy to use. Here is a link to that troubleshooting guide: qwikproducts.yonyx.com/y/conversation/?id=87f40380-33af-11e9-a9a4-4201c0a80133&h=1&st=0

Thank you for the question. The QwikSwap will only turn on when the system calls for the fan to run.

@@qwikproduct So if there is a short in the system and the heat strips energize on their own there is no way for the fan to come on automatically as a safety?

Great question! You could use PuraClean on both engine and cabin air filters and expect similar product performance to its standard application.

@@qwikproduct Thank you , I will try it . You Tube channel had used silicone spray . I used it as they had shown , but I always got a code about ? when I did it . And it was said silicone would damage some components

Mark, thank you for your interest in our Qwik Swaps. If you go to our website, www.qwik.com/, there is a wholesaler locater feature at the top of the page. Simply enter your zip code, and a list of local HVACR wholesalers will be displayed.

Thank you for the question! The pads are lightweight prior to install but get much heavier once water is added. This product was initially developed for the Florida market which has various wind loading requirements up to 180mph. The 36x36 pad weighs 163 lbs when filled, and the 40x40 pad weighs 203 lbs when filled. If additional anchoring is required the optional soil and concrete anchors are available.

@@qwikproduct Thank you.

Thank you for the comment. There are several variables to consider and ultimately the homeowner has to be happy with the choice. Up front cost is certainly an important factor. The QwikSwap/PSC option is typically much less expensive than the variable speed ECM option.

This can give the homeowner an immediate repair to get aircon up and running instead of waiting for a hard to find special and expensive ECM motor to be shipped, and consequently swelter in the heat until it arrives.

The blower motor doesn't consume near as much electricity as the compressor or heater elements so it's not lowering your bill that much. And the ECM controller is vulnerable to power surges. The failure rate is much higher than PSC motors and until mfg's figure out how to make the controller's more reliable, they will continue to be an inferior motor to the PSC.

Thank you for the question. QwikCheck can only be used once. It is not possible to produce an accurate future acid test once the QwikCheck has been used.

Can QwikCheck be used off recovered R410a in a recovery cylinder from a compressor burnout?

Probably, that's what I'm going to use it for ​@@mattsawesomeshow

Of course you loose efficiency but in many cases home owner shouldn't pay $1000 to $2000 for an ECM motor, when the furnace are old.

@@hvacworkshop4791 i agree with you. going from an 3.5ton psc seer 10 to 4ton seer 16 x13 by bill dropped 15% continuously
