I have a new mark vii jet wash for my ss. They are currently wired to ginsan gs402 timers. About two weeks ago one of my bays started having a weird issue were sometimes it would take 6 quarters take quarters to start (as it is suppose to) sometimes 7 quarters,8,9 and sometimes more! I figured...

what would be the purpose of the check value on the foam brush? (Sorry again if this is a newbie question)
