Lucky I am!! It was air locked. Up and running. Thanks for mentioning this. I sure would have ordered a new one today if it wasn’t for your comment, thanks!

It’s the pump on the right. Info is in the pictures.

I will start this by saying I’m a dumb ass! I had a minor leak (water dripping) from the supply line coming from the storage tank to the RO Delivery pump. I forgot to open the valve back after working on this repair, causing the pump to burn up. The motor still turns but delivers no water to the...

T he static pressure of the water system supplying the carwash is 62-64psi. When a weep valve of the pump is opened is drops to 30psi, I can open all four weep valves on the pumps and holds at 30psi. Question I have, should the gauge hold at 30 psi when no water is flowing through the weep...

Incoming pressure is at 62 psi, I will adjust that first and see if rectifies that issue. I would still lean towards a solenoid not seating fully as well though.

Yeah, I was digging into it more today. I’m pretty mechanically inclined and can usually tinker long enough to learn a system and how it works. I wasn’t sure exactly how the weep worked but understand it now after this description and looking at it for a bit today. I will say that if I turn the...

The screws holding the valve body were corroded to the point a nut driver or screw driver had nothing to bite on. Had to grind the heads off the screws and back the screw out with a set of vise grips.

Over the last week I started having issues with finding a wet area on the cement on the backside of the Coleman Hanna power pack. Wasn’t a lot of water and was able to track in down to the overflow pipe on the backside mixing tank. I did notice that the pre-soak chemical tank was at a higher...

Input this E Fusion IBA. It is a 2013. Looks rough, but the tech was on site to replace a sensor and physically saw the machine do a wash. Not sure on the wash count. Would you be concerned about its age? Are they hard to work on? Any other things to be concerned or check on this IBA?

I'm pretty sure we have one on the pump outlet.

The check valves and fittings are roughly 10 years old.

While chasing down a pressure drop/water leak on the roof of our self serve wash we found a busted hose near this manifold (believe that’s what it’s called?). We are replace the supply line from the cat pump up to the roof and the whip from the manifold to the top of the boom. In you personal...

Dan, appreciate the response. Definitely looking into all of these mentioned.

Zal, I will get picture in the next few days and post up. Thanks for your response.

I know for a fact there would be no express washes being built in those areas. The towns are big enough to support the current location(s) in each town but in no way would anyone invest in an express wash in these areas. It’s a no brainer that anyone investing in an express, the return on...

We are currently looking and will probably purchase two self serve car washes with an IBA at each location. One location is a 4 bay self/1 IBA and the other is a 3 bay self/1 IBA. With your experience in purchasing used location what are some of the do’s and don’ts. I don’t want to overlook...

Looking for input from this veteran group of carwash owners. I’m currently running a 4 bay SS location. It’s located in a small town and the income covers expenses and plus a little profit in the bank. It’s a nice carwash, just in the wrong location. There is a carwash in the neighboring town...

Currently running a 4 bay SS location in S Louisiana. The site is set up with a Coleman Hanna 4 bay Power Pack similar to the picture. It has triple foam and RO spot free as well. With your experience and knowledge in the SS industry, what spare parts and quantities of those parts would you...

Thanks for all the input, took apart and cleaned. No issues since, fingers crossed!
