    Questions for Wesumat owners

    I have had a Wesumat for over 3 years and I am still trying to work out the bugs. I added air to the soap so that I could get some foaming action on the soap. This caused a problem with the rinse since it essentially sucks. So I added a rain bar which works well. The triple foam never worked...

    Bonus tokens for the Gold Line

    Is there any way to dispense bonus tokens with the Gold Line? I see the Gold Line Plus dispenses bonus tokens but it does not allow the use of tokennotes. Curious...

    1.25" tokens

    I am thinking about goiong to the 1.25 tokens. I have the Hamilton dual rear load changers that currently dispense quarters. What do I need to change out on the hoppers to dispense 1.25 tokens? Do you have any Lexan fronts that say Tokens??

    Anyone using RFID on an IBA?

    Great idea! Who is your distributor? I would love to call him and find out how I may be able to do the same thing with my Wesumat.

    Anyone using RFID on an IBA?

    I have the same problem with the Gold Line. I don't think I save that much time by allowing people to prepay for a wash before the previous one is done so I am trying to set up my Gold Line not to accept payment until the previous wash is done.

    Bank Loans

    I had the same problem. The new SBA rules for 7a loans supposedly back up to 90% of a loan but the banks I talked to said that they aren't giving out 90% loans. That's just what the SBA would back if they were willing to give it out. They aren't willing. The best deal I could work up was 70/30...

    wheel/tire cleaner frustrations

    I had the same problem with presoak leaking. I finally got a little screen filter from Kleen Rite and put it in the line from the tank to the valve. Haven't had an issue since. I know this doesn't fix your immediate problem but once you get the valve to stop leaking you should be good. You may...

    Mark VII issues

    Mac, thanks for your help and I will be getting back to you. I need all the help I can get with this machine. I posted to this site for some help with a machine that the manufacturer SHOULD support. Mark VII will only do this through their distributor. I have had some dealings with other makers...

    Mark VII issues

    I have a Wesumat IBA and I must say that the customer service for this machine is the worst. I am having a programming issue and Mark VII will only give me the name of my local distributor. They REFUSE to support their equipment in any way. If you don't like your local distributor or think they...

    Any investment/trading going on this week?

    nothing but down I think the markets are going to be extremely disappointed that the G7 didn't come up with some sort of plan. It wouldn't surprise me to see the indices down another 10% next week. I would look at put options on the indices or any commodity. As for GM, if they survive this...

    Hot water to SS bays

    Now thats a good question. I didn't even turn on the water heater last year. Being new to the business I am wondering if I should rethink that this winter to attract more customers?

    Acw 4

    I am thinking about buying a used ACW 4 but before I do I wanted to find out if you guys make a credit card upgrade kit for the ACW 4 and how much it would cost. Also, will any XE validator accept tokennotes? Would I program the controller to determine what the tokenote will pay out? (Free...

    Start-up Capital?

    You can go to www.sba.gov and learn about how the SBA backs loans. You still have to come up with 25% down. In my aread they have an economic development corporation that loans money on land and equipment only. They will guarantee a 90% loan if you have experience. In the end, it is extremely...

    Triple Foam?? Please help.

    WOW thanks so much for all the advice. The two units I am talking about are both Mark VII. One is the Wesumet and the other is the Aqua GT700. I am definitely using the Ecolab Polish(checked it out last night). I get foam, and all three colors to boot, but it just doesn't put on a good show like...

    Triple Foam?? Please help.

    I have two IBA's, a touchless and a soft touch, both with triple foam that comes from the three tubes on either side of the vehicle. I have seen some REALLY BUBBLY triple foam and this is not it. What am I doing wrong? More air? More soap? I'm using Ecolab foam/polish. Is the three tube setup...
