    Help with cavitation after replacing seals and valves.

    Thanks for the link. I was able to review the pics and compare to my valve seats which do not appear to be affected by wash out. I will keep that in mind when replacing seals though.

    Help with cavitation after replacing seals and valves.

    So I got it fixed tonight and it was the leaking soap solenoid! Hard to believe that such a small leak could cause all that. I guess on the bright side I have a new dumper, check valves, and solenoid. Plus a new set of valves and seals. Ugh. Just glad it's working again. Thanks everyone for all...

    Help with cavitation after replacing seals and valves.

    There is a tank below each pump that is fed by the hot and cold lines. The tank then goes to a ball valve and connects to a check valve. On the other end of that there is a hosethat goes directly vertical to the inlet of the pump. I'm going to inspect the check valve this afternoon and see if...

    Thanks. I did notice that there is a slow drip from the adjustment screw on the soap solenoid. Could that cause this?

    Possible to get an email or text if changer is down?

    I do this with a cheap PTZ camera in my changer. It's programmed with three positions, one to see the LED to monitor for errors, one to check the level of the coin hopper, and one to monitor the bills. The video is left on the LED position and monitors for a flashing LED. This is done with my...

    Help with cavitation after replacing seals and valves.

    Hey everyone. I am a relatively new owner of a two bay self service wash and am having an issue with cavitation. My bays use belt driven Cat 5CP2120W pumps and today I replaced the high and low pressure seals and all 6 valves. However, there is a slight cavitation when spraying at full pressure...
