    Water damage to IBA control box

    No holes going into the top of the box, I believe they had a sticker up there saying not to do so. Here's a picture I took the day I was having the issue to get an idea of the amount of water I'm talking about. That middle VFD in the bottom left is the one that was bad. You can see a little...

    Water damage to IBA control box

    There is a drain hole in the corner and I didn't see any evidence of water coming out of it. There wasn't enough water in the box to pool up and drain out of it. The VFD that had the issue was in the middle of 3 of them. You think the heat in the box is creating enough condensation to do it...

    Water damage to IBA control box

    Would you pay this invoice? I have a relatively new Razor Edge, started washing cars end of February. I used the distributors recommended electrician. We had a few days of nonstop rain and I used it as an opportunity to take a break from the car wash and when I came in the machine was out of...

    Add or Omit Bill Acceptors with New Combination Vacuums Purchase?

    I have 6 vacuums. 5 of them accept bills. I'm not sure why but the the vast majority of my vacuum customers don't use the bill acceptors and instead go break a bill in the change machine. I wouldn't do bills if you have had experience with your vacuums getting vandalized, put the money...

    High Pressure Hose Emergency Repair Methods?

    I read on here a while back about people wrapping a pop can around the hose and using hose clamps. Have never tried it myself though.

    D&S Meter Box won't open

    Exactly, or pull on the door some other way to create enough resistance.

    D&S Meter Box won't open

    Is the nut one of these? https://www.mcmaster.com/90680A172 I don't have the same door but I've had luck using a suction cup like this https://www.harborfreight.com/4-1-2-half-inch-diameter-suction-cup-40993.html Pulling the door forward while loosening the bolt.

    Pit questions

    I use the 8 foot. I think my pits are the same as yours. You sort of stab it down into the mud and then close the claw... closer you are to the bottom of the pit the more you'll need to squat to pull it back out of there.

    Pit questions

    If you feel like doing the shoveling but not the drying your garbage collection place might have a Hazardous Waste dumpster they can bring by for the mud. Not sure how much that would be though.

    Pit questions

    I do what MEP said and shovel out the smelly muck with a handy clam and dry it in one of the bays. I let it dry a lot longer than a day before putting it in the dumpster. I guess I'm not sure what the definition of dry is. It would take forever for it to be beach sand dry but the EPAs already...

    Polymer Presoaks

    It's the blue 0.86gpm Chem-Flex injector. I think that means I'm at 66 to 1. I'll bring it down a tip when I get over there and give it another try.

    Polymer Presoaks

    I just got my pail of this stuff delivered this morning. Was hoping it would be a magical cure to my road film issue, but no luck so far. Any advice? Coverage is good. I'll continue to play around with it a little more. Currently I have it on a light blue tip, speed 70. 15 second dwell...

    @razor folks - Are you adding fragrance directly to the chemical or applying it some other way?
