    Pre-soak high or low PH?

    Thank you, I have a 4 Bay self serve. So, high PH it is. I found some Fresh and Clean that is alkaline that has been hidden behind stuff for who knows how long. Do these chemicals go bad?

    Pre-soak high or low PH?

    What is your preference and why? I've been using JBS Fonic which I think is a low PH. But wondering if that is my best choice.

    Foam Brush Help

    Increase the amount of air and reduce the amount of foam chemical, I had the same issue when I first bought my wash. It took lots of tuning to get it to the foam thickness I wanted.

    New flojet causing foam brush issues

    Tighten the flojet mounting screws to prevent leaking of air? I think there is actually 1 screw missing, I didn't think it would matter since there are 3 holding it. I'll find a screw in the morning and see if that helps.

    New flojet causing foam brush issues

    I hate to re-visit this, but I took advice and got an inline filter from Lowes (pic). After about a week there is no water, oil, or anything in it. The Flojet is still 'sticking' until I give it a 'rap' on the front and then it work for several hours. Also, I reduced the air pressure to be...

    New flojet causing foam brush issues

    I found the black foam rubber muffler on the one I replaced and put it on the new one. It seems like it should come with one, but did not. The only thing I have between the compressor and the flojet is a regulator. (Pic) I found several on kleenrite, is one needednfor each air line or would I...

    New flojet causing foam brush issues

    The muffler? I didn't know there should be a muffler, that is all that came with the new one. Is that something I need to purchase separately?

    When the pump is not working, it does not work for any Bay. Regardless of which is calling for the foam brush.

    New flojet causing foam brush issues

    I noticed my foam brushes were not working, just air blowing out of them. After tweaking around I realized the flojet was not kicking on. I bought a new one and installed it. Worked like a charm nice thick foam after a few seconds. But now, the new flojet is doing the same thing. The foam brush...

    New tankless waterheaters installed!

    The electric immersion heaters was another solution I am considering. But if I had one would I even need the water heater?

    New tankless waterheaters installed!

    I'm thinking of adding a tankless for a hot rinse, especially during the winter to melt snow and ice. But how does the water stay hot in a holding tank? I was thinking it had to go directly to the water supply that also runs through the hydrominders.

    Cat 310 pump Motor

    MEP, you mention ISO 68, my local rural king has something called AW-68 hydraulic oil. I would presume it is the same thing just a different brand? Any thoughts?

    Navien 240A Vs 240S

    I'm putting a water heater in my 4 bay SS, there used to be one, but it was taken out years aog by the previous owner. I think I've settled on Navien 240 but would like to get feedback if you use it or what you use. The A version has a recycler which I don't know that I need. My main concern is...

    Thickness and angle of bay cement

    Roz, The heat in the floor and the pvc is the main reason for the new floors. Last winter, my first with the wash, we had 4 14x24 skating rinks and ice castles surrounding the weep guns. LOL
