    Water Wizard 2.0 boom counts

    The boom count test should reset this number and will use the new values. Change all your recipes to reflect the new boom count limits. But I'm not sure that's the problem, look at your alarm history. You could have an eye problems. Bad eyes and eye cables are the cause of 87% of the...

    I also have two Istobals and they have been overall good machines.

    Automatic Potential Revenue

    Any IBAS or tunnels in your town? What are the IBA's, touch or friction? Are they well run? If you're in a town of 7500 with no other tunnels or IBAs I'd definitely put a new auto in. We've got towns that size here that have multiple tunnels!

    Coleman Hanna E-Fusion

    I had a fusion X for about seven years and that was a mechanical monstrosity. E fusion is a solid machine with a simpler design that does a good job and would last forever. I am a long time Coleman fan, I have two wizards and they are cleaning monsters and will outlive me if they are well...

    Chemicals

    Several good companies out there as you can see from input from other operators. If you're new I'd find out who can support you with an good rep that knows their product. I would likely focus on touch free presoak effectiveness first and cost second. If you're not cleaning the car all the...

    Would you rather own a express/full service or a 4+2?

    Ideally the flex express would make enough to pay management quality labor. But a standard express would be much easier to run and still have good income potential. Double touch free IBA would be sweet if the numbers are good.

    Lets Talk Wall Cleaning.....Do the New HF free chemIcals really work?

    I keep Quest's SAW on hand. It works pretty good but you have to use it stronger than HF-based Wall cleaner so it's a good bit more expensive to use. SAW actually works better on some things like alkaline scale than HF does. But I still find myself using their HF based product at times...

    Big PSI difference at pump when trigger pulled.

    I try to start with simple stuff: worn nozzle or different nozzle size? belt slippage? inlet restrictions(usually results in pulsation)? water escaping to the weep system due to a bad weep check valve on that bay ? I know you said you inspected the valves but worn valves can cause lower...

    Water Wizard 2.0 boom counts

    Mud puppy try replacing both the bottom and top boom limit prox switches and cables. You could also try tinkering with your proximity switch spacing on your count wheel. Sometimes moving a switch 1/8" makes a difference. Make sure you have a good 24VDC power on the gantry terminal strip...

    Water Wizard 2.0 boom counts

    Hope this is OK, but Jackson can delete if not. We're a small group but it's an easy way to get relatively quick input on water wizard problems https://www.facebook.com/groups/943332196902669 Sounds like a 2.0. I don't think it's a software problem. First, make sure there is no hose...

    What’re yall using for an air compressor?

    I'm surprised the cheap harbor freight has not been lasting even six months. If I recall MEP had reasonably good luck with them. Regardless of brand shop for one with a 100% duty cycle. Also, a three phase model doesn't have internal motor switches or capacitors which in the long run is...

    White Filter/Strainer bottom of JC Chemical Tank

    A few months ago I had difficulty sourcing them so I just used a 6" stainless nipple and a standard 3/4 female basket strainer on the end.

    why is there no 360 rotating dryers

    If rotating 360 it could possibly blow water back up on the areas that have been dried. The concept is usually to point the nozzles to the rear so that it blows towards the back and down on the sides. It seems there is always a crack or crevice somewhere that can hold water

    Tri Foam in Self Serve

    Perry I've been tempted to try to install a 1/2" procon on my system to see if that improves the flow in the bay. I would think the bigger pump on the 120V motor would be fine on the lower pressures the triple foam would run at, but I need to put a meter on it.

    Foam brush stains

    If that stuff permanently stained anything I'd look like papa smurf by now. As Randy and Eric said UV will kill it. I used to tell them to "meet me tomorrow" and by that time it was gone.
