Any idea where to get these SMC solenoids without having to go through Coleman? They seem to be an uncommon solenoid that has a high flow rate with a 10mm orifice.

set the pressure too high and you will have issues with additional solenoids opening after the initial solenoid opens. For instance the top presoak solenoid might not open properly after the side solenoid opens on startup.

Any idea where to purchase the Ecolab 12 L/h 24vdc pumps used on an old M12 Istobal. Xtreme Wash Gear shows them on their website in 24vac but they no longer carry them. I haven’t tried Istobal, which would make sense but I am sure they are priced super high.

I am sure this is fake, right?

That’s good to hear. That single holding tank makes me a tad nervous, but I guess we will see. Even at 18 to 20 cars per hour in both bays, no issues?

Any of you have the dual pump setup per bay with the stacked pump stand that feeds both pumps with a single water holding tank have any issues with the water keeping up? What about with two units (4 cat 3535 pumps running total). Currently have a 2” water line but I am concerned about my water...

That’s what I plan on doing but it hard to fix those intermittent problems. Hopefully they are aware of what component causes this issue.

I have a couple LED7 timers that are missing pulses randomly. It might work perfectly for a couple days and then start acting up again. First I thought it was the coin mech so I installed a new coin mech and called it good only to have the issue arise a couple days later. Replaced the timer and...

Been through tunnels and still see windshield brow. Sometimes the glass is etched and needs to be polished clean or buffed.

I found someone to help out. Turns out it was just some HMI errors that were stuck in the memory which caused the control board to lock up. All good now.

Has anyone with an older M9 or M12 machine ever experienced an issue where after hitting the e-stop button and hitting the start button, the display never changes from the e-stop message? You cannot control and functions from the controller. Whenever I hit the start button, i can hear the...

The hydrominder plastic floats can crack releasing sand into the chemical tank, which will cause the solenoids to hang open and cause check valve failures. I know you said you cleaned out your holding tanks, but sometimes that sand is hard to see.

They are hot water solenoids that activate with high pressure soap.

Are you using a 1/3 hp pump on a 1/2hp motor? never mind it appears that you are not...

Their magnetic strips have probably been erased inadvertently by getting the card too close to a strong magnet. Lots of magnetic phone mounts around these days.
