    Building permit for an IBA install?

    I don’t see how that would be any different than changing a pump in the equipment room. You’re just replacing a car wash part.

    NC Mountains Devastation

    I got a text from Jim Sunday morning. In case you didn't see my other post, here's what he said. He says they are okay, but all power is knocked out. Spotty cell service, but they are setting up mobile cell sites so they can text. They got 24" of rain and everything is flooded. It may be a week...

    Help with foam brush

    I'm not talking about siphoning. I'm speculating that it could be letting city water trickle through. With a trickle, it won't bring any chemical with it, which would water down the tank.

    He was waiting to make sure it was fixed.

    Help with foam brush

    Maybe a hydrominder letting water slowly leak through, watering down the mixture in the tank. It would have less effect on busier days, which could explain why it's sporadic.

    High Pressure Hose from EQ to Bay

    I used a hose similar to that years ago. I didn’t like it. Abrasion resistance wasn’t very good. It was hard to put the fitting on without twisting the hose. When it failed from age and general wear and tear, it was futile to splice it, because it would just fail in another spot quickly afterward.

    High Pressure Hose from EQ to Bay

    If it's the hose in the bay, I wouldn't use any 3/8" hose. It has over twice the volume of a 1/4", which is going to greatly increase changeover times.

    Can you believe it's been a year?

    MEP001 last posted a year ago today. He left a huge hole in this forum for sure. I was always amazed at the ideas and tricks he always came up with, leaving me wondering, why I didn't think of that. I couldn't get over how knowledgeable he was about so many things. Even though I'm out of the...

    Checking In: Any Florida Car Wash Owners Affected by Recent Hurricane?"

    Jim Gosnell just replied and asked me to post to the forum. He says they are okay, but all power is knocked out. Spotty cell service, but they are setting up mobile cell sites so they can text. They got 24" of rain and everything is flooded. It may be a week or more before power is restored and...

    Where can i get a parts manual for a Mark VII GT 500 and 700

    As far as parts are concerned, I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't one for the 500. The 700 has some extra parts that the 500 doesn't, but the only different parts I can think of would be the PLC and the wheel speed inverter.

    Checking In: Any Florida Car Wash Owners Affected by Recent Hurricane?"

    I texted Jim Friday, but never heard back. I don't think too much into that, since that was usually his MO. APW's wife posted on FaceBook that they had a lot of tree damage, power lines down, but they were safe, and structures pretty much unscathed.

    Best way to remove broken key from Abus Lock?

    I've dealt with this several times. Even on the exact machine you have. I just drilled right into the key slot and within a few seconds the bit caught and the lock opened. I think I used a 5/16 or maybe 3/8 bit. It took me longer to type this post.
