Check your pump heads for washout. Sounds like valve oring and bac up ring debris. If you replaced your valve orings because they were damaged your head is washed out. Common problem on cat pump

They re-sleeve high pressure and valve ports. They also do general and hypro heads. I think they also have ability to sleeve large cat pumps. I recently sent them a cat 3535 that was a basket case, it had a cracked crankcase from connecting rod problem. They were able to weld crankcase and it is...

If you have a 5CP2120W and you are continually replacing the valve orings the head is washed out. These pumps are known for this. Check to see if you have a W stamped on the head, if you do Cat will replace that manifold under warranty. Cat will stamp the manifold they return to you with the...

if you are having trouble with evaporation, stuff a rag in the opening of the five gallon bucket. I do this with my winter foam brush soap, because of the menthanol. I would think that soaps would evaporate very slowly since they are in a enclosed environment. If you have a bucket that is clear...

i think most soaps that seperate were more than likely frozen during transport, or when they were stored at your distributors warehouse. It is more common than you would think.

Washgear makes a sunlight readable display. It is a swipe version. I have two goldlines and they both have them. I also have hamilton's VGA LCD display in both. I had them customized with my graphic and they are by far the best display i have seen, granted they are a little pricey but you also...

I changed years ago from mark 7 to laser 4000. I also had a washworld once about 6 yrs ago. I my opinion, there is no comparison between a gantry style machine and an inverted L. The preasoak coverage alone makes a big difference. With my mark 7 you could never get total coverage. which made a...

like I.B. said earlier, look at the orings on the old valves. If they are split or missing, you have washout. You can also check the outside of the high pressure seal to look for grooves worn into the seal, another sign of washout. I know alot of operators replace valves when in fact valves...

Talked to washworld and pdq, they do not make a repair kit anymore for this valve. The old valve had a brass body, the new valve is now stainless. If anyone knows of a repair kit part # that would be great. I do not think they exist. Washworld never used a dump valve and pdq told me they just...

The automatic changeover will save you product when the temp gets above freezing on a busy day. My auto changeover switches on its own, no need for me to be there to make it happen. I also play with the tips depending on weather. Most of the time in my area it is a red or beige tip. I have a...

Kleen-rite does head resleeving. I have sent 310 heads there this past year. They may also do Hypro. If i have pump repairs I send them to a company called IDS, they have always treated me fair and I never had any issues with them. http://idspumprepair.com/. I think you were misinformed at kr.

thanks for the reply. Did you have to change anything in the programming.?

I am a long time reader of the forum and have been in the carwash business for almost thirty years, man what a long ride. My question is this. has anyone out there ever eliminated the dump valve on their laser 4000. I have two that are leaking and causing issues. I believe this is a lexair...
