    A Study in Honesty & Human Behavior

    I have put out four pots for the last couple of years. So far so good. If they get vandalized I take the view that they gave some joy for a while. I'm on the main street of my small town. I feel an obligation to try and represent the town with some beauty. There's always some kid doing stupid...

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    It does appear I have a inline filter located in the carwash machine itself. Do these filters ever need to be replaced? I am assuming they are about 10 years old.

    Inbay automatic car wash space requirement

    I am new here so take my advice with a grain of salt. If getting new equipment. Make sure you have a good service provider. They have made a huge difference for me as I get up to speed and learn what I can and cannot repair.

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    I will look into the smc drain. Not sure if the gantry has one. I will check later. I paid 603 for the new part which included 50 for shipping. Also purchased the kit for 218, which included $30 for shipping. The soft touch actually uses the actuator about half as much as the softtouch option...

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    Keno, It lasted about 9,000 washes. The air does not have a cleaner or water remover in-line. Maybe I should add one. I replaced it without problems. Didn't even need to adjust rotation.

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    To close the loop. In case anyone else runs into this. The part was not in the catalog, that I could find. The company did refer me to a distributor who will sell the part. I have heard this connection between the shaft and the spray bar can be hard to loosen. Any advice before the part gets...

    Purchase & upgrade

    you mentioned the entrance and exit. Being you are in a cold environment. You will want that in floor heat extended past the doors a few feet. Doors can become frozen to the floor, even with this extension.

    Mark Vii Choice Exit Limit switch question

    How do you check the Pulse Counter? My problem has come back. It almost always fails on the last pass with the dryer. Once it completed but then travelled half way down the track and thought it was in its home position and ready for the next car.

    Mark Vii Choice Exit Limit switch question

    Thanks for your replies. Just to close the loop in case anyone else has this issue. The problem was the worn track. when the gantry moved to the home position it would then drift back about an inch and a half because the track was worn and made a slope. Grinded down the track and that appears...

    Futura SSA Automatic

    Which type/model door do you have. I ask because I had a similar issue with my Airlift XRS Door. It was a door issue not the carwash. Signal was going to door but door did not react. Turned out a bad relay switch in the Door Control box was the issue.
