    Pressure setting

    I bought a wash that the operator had that bend in the wand ends. He was running barely running 750 psi. It sucked at cleaning, and I personally did not like fighting the wand to keep in place; therefore I know my customers would not like it. I changed all those in short order. We run 25055...

    Floor Switch (Pressure Pad) for Water Wizard 2.0

    I used this one on a WW 1.0; eliminating the photo eyes. In the Winter, we had an issue with clumps of snow blocking the eyes and making it seem car was on treadle, when in fact it was not. Then, it would go "out of service"...

    http://www.changerexchange.com/ Very nice lady here. They repair all the AC hoppers (last time I checked, anyhow) Very reasonable price, too. She sells well below AC list price.

    Water Bill and RO Waste Water

    There is no such thing as "normal" in my opinion. Too many variables from wash to wash; such as s/s volume, nozzle size on wands, pressure on wands, iba volume, type of iba, etc. What is your cost per 1000 gallons; this is what most compare. My locations average about $10.00 per thousand...

    Laser 4000 24vdc help

    Got it fixed; just had to walk away for a bit. Had stray voltage on the ground the p/s was hooked to. Once I cleared that up, I was able to re-engage each module for troubleshooting. Ended up being the left limit switch was sucking all the dc voltage down to 6vdc. Changed it out; now good to go...

    Laser 4000 24vdc help

    The fuse on my 1.5 amp 24vdc power supply keeps blowing. I unhooked all the power to the input and output modules and the vt board. I was going to power up one at a time to try and isolate the issue. But with everything unhooked, the fuse still blows. Changed power supply, for craps and kicks...

    NCS- Armor All/Blue Coral/ZEP

    For those of you using these products, what is your opinion of NCS taking over? It seems to me a lot of price increases, a lot of discontinuation of my favorite products, and little to no distributor support. My local distributor just told me there are raising the minimum order from $15k to...

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    Then if the tds is increasing after bay use, you are obviously getting contamination in there from some source.

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    I see slight spots on my black vehicle above 20ppm. Therefore, I change my membranes when tds approaches 20 ppm. It is the final rinse; too important not to have right.

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    You may have a check valve bad; pushing some amount of chemical back into the tank. Pull suction tube out of tank, and run each bay individually and see if water/chemical is pushing thorugh that line.

    Token Questions

    Many threads on this if you search. I would 110% recommend the CT tokens only valued at $1. Change everything to tokens; bays, vacs, vending, even auto cashiers. You are not a public change service. Make the switch and don't look back. I have used the stock CTs for 12 years with Slugbuster II...

    I put an uninteruptable power supply in mine when I was having the same issue. That solved it.
