    Washworld Making contact with all Jeeps?

    My old Laserwash G5 always had trouble with jeep spare tires hanging on the back. I increased the arch vehicle rear offset by an inch and it hasn’t happened since. Had something to do with jeeps odd wheel distance from the bumpers and my G5 measures it’s travel based on wheel sensors. You will...

    Try the Check valves on the pump suction. After a lot of hell, this is the first thing I inspect when I have pump issues

    PDQ Access won’t take bills after $10 balance

    Well PDQ support had me try changing a setting on the kiosk to where instead of displaying the packages first when you pull up, it displays preferred payment method and then the package menu. It’s in the customer flow tab on the PDQ Access interface for anyone with this issue. This fixed it. He...

    Presoak on Foam gun tip size

    Looks beautiful! My pressures are about the same and I have a foam generator, but looks nothing like that. I’m also using Simoniz golden whitewall which I’m told should foam great. My panel solenoid outlet in the motor room is 1/4” thought. Do I need A 3/8 supply line or larger to the bay? The...

    PDQ Access won’t take bills after $10 balance

    I recently bumped my IBA packages to above $10 and now I have kiosk issues. Packages are now $10, $12, and $14 Naturally, many people are putting in a $10 followed by a $5 or $1’s, but the access unit acceptor will not take anything above a $10 balance. It doesn’t take the bill and spit it back...

    Presoak on Foam gun tip size

    for those of you with presoak in your foam gun, what size tip do you use? I don’t have 3x foam on them, just presoak. 4040 tip was low volume and too “blobby”. 2507 tip isn’t bad, but a little watery. I’m thinking maybe a 4005 for wider fan and smaller particle or something to make a nice...

    Cat 310 Hammering

    I’m referring to the main water inlet to the pump, not the soap. if you’re inlets are plumbed to pressurized city water, then the situation I’m describing is less likely, but still worth looking at. in my experience, the biggest “WTF is wrong with my pump” issues are - something obstructing...

    Water Softener

    Can that be real? Is this sourced from a well? thats like 15x what’s considered hard water. I’ve only seen numbers like that in industrial concentrators. My well water is 700ppm and that’s the highest residential number I’ve ever tested

    Cat 310 Hammering

    It will trick you because water will flow freely through the hose and check from the gravity tank and you’ll think there’s no obstruction, but it will starve the pump after a few seconds of running. I honestly love troubleshooting, but this one was traumatic for me. Best of luck

    Cat 310 Hammering

    oh my lord, I went through a similar head banger few months ago… it was terrible. Overhauled one of my pumps for basically no reason very very long story short, maybe have another look at your suction check and make sure there’s no issue there. Make sure the nipple isn’t screwed in too far or...

    Is this Self Serve a Good Buy ?

    Don’t be seduced… Always be willing to walk It’s a lot like buying a truck. You wanted a cream puff 1 owner ‘99 F-250 7.3, but 3 weeks later you pull the trigger on a clapped Chevy from Facebook with little history because the seller sweet talked and you lost control of yourself. I get it… I’ve...

    Monex connection help

    Sorry for my absence… Our packages are now $4,$7,$10,$13. Zero problems anymore with Monex and complaints have ceased there. It’s great having that headache gone We have 1 bay with a Nayax still on count up for those who like that option, but I still get complaints uncommonly when they can’t...

    PDQ Tandem Vertical Brush

    All, looking for a vertical brush for my tandem rite touch. My brushes bristles were scythed off on a sharp rusty fender and now it’s way out of balance. New one is a lot more expensive than I thought. Just scanning for options, seeing if anyone knows of used one or alternative brand part #...
