what are you having to do to reset it ? just turn the key and drive ? or do you have to cycle the power ? if you have to cycle the power, that means the vfd has likely faulted out. when it faults, go first to the vfd and see if the vfd is faulted out. ifyes id say likely motor or vfd...

After a thorough explanation of the sequence of events on how this thing operates, I was led to believe the problem with my machine is likely the bridge motor. I have one comin tomorrow. I did not change the vfd. Part of that thorough explanation causes me to think you may have a VT...

my understanding is a run on error is caused when the machine does not perform a certain task in a specified amount of time. whatever is causing the error will only get worse til you find it. I am having a run on error myself. ( have been for a couple of weeks). actually my machine has...

Cant offer an option but I will say I am a fan of OEM replacement parts. I used to try and source every single part to everything but I got tired of trying to make something work or having to return something. NOw I get the oem part and its sposed to fit. Swap it out and on to the next...

I don't know the price per pound formula or rule of thumb. Most in my area are within a quarter or 2 of each other. You might try the CLA coin laundry association for a formula. I don't remember the pounds of each machine, and I know manufacturers are diferent, but its pretty much like...

This is an old wash upgrade. It was 6ss bays. Now its 4ss with 1 touchfree. I initially thought I had enuf water, but a slow fill on my rinse tank for the auto wont keep up with back to back cars and full capacity in the bays. At first I thought a pressure problem. I did find out that my...

1.25" water line 1.0" water tap 45 psi at the tap and in the equipment room also black plastic pipe 150' pipe length 4 bays , 1 touchfree auto (total gpm is 52) the 1" tap will flow 55gpm I'm putting in the reservoir but using a vfd pump with transducer rather than well pump. Have you...

thanks to everybody. Earl this is a SS/Iba. I bought a Berkley pump with the vfd drive and transducer. Mine is a 3hp and I was told a 5 gallon expansion tank. I talked with the town water folks and they had some cool mathematics concerning volume and pressure and stuff like that. I'm...

ok so my water pressure is low and my water line is too small. Upgrading my tap size and replacing my line is pretty much out of the question. My plan is to install a booster pump and storage reservoir. The pump for the pressure and the reservoir for the water shortage. My question...

this is a great truck wash thread. The question and all of the responses. Good stuff

Ok i'll bite for the sake of discussion. I'm missin somethin. That's 50 cars per day at a $30 average. Also for a 3 bay thats 16.66 cars per bay per day, hand wash. no water. Or did I totally misunderstand your example ??

nathand Robert is right, you need some people you can trust, and that know what they are doing. You are talking about spending a TON of money, for up to a year, with NO INCOME at all. Gotta be pretty strong for that, and it does work on you emotionally and physically as the months go by. I...

Steve , has the extensive rehab translated into an increase in gross sales ? how much ? I know how you feel about being anxious. I am in the middle of a rehab now and I swear I am wondering if the people (customers) even give a rats patoot. Most of the customers coming into a SS carwash...

I have not gotten an email either

I'm sure you already have, but the first thing I would do is check my water to see what I'm working with. My area has pretty darn good water so a spot free setup is not necessary. I put it in anyway a few years ago and have found that my customers really don't use it. I guess because we don't...

Congrats on the sale and good luck to you. Also thank you for your contributiuon to the site. Come back and talk more about the exit strategy and what to do with the money after your (our) car washing life. Enquiring minds wanna know !

Its work but it ain worser than terrible. programming, system option number, air regulator, injectors, hoses , pods. stuff like that. FWIW I would not do it. I have taken it off of 2 machines. In my opinion, its just too finicky and requires constant messin with. Maybe mine was never...

I'm hopeful somebody's has a sticker on it. ya'll know what I mean about how they put a sticker with the part number on everything. (nearly) lol would like to have actual part but about to be using a stack of washers lol
