Drilling a small hole is best and should be done. Be careful cutting a larger hole because it will change the suction of the chemical, possibly causing the hydrominder not to suck chemical at all.

The eyes are not your problem, so replacing them wont fix it and nobody said anything about cleaning the count prox. It may be too far away from the wheel or bad. Check the plc input and see if the count prox input light is coming on when the prox is in front of a metal tab. If this doesn't...

if it goes 2 to 3 feet forward, then backs up a bit, then shuts down, it would be a photo eye blockage. if it goes 2 to 3 feet forward, then shuts down, then your not getting the encoder prox signal to the computer. Possible causes of encoder signal failure could be encoder switch, bearing...

my concerns with the belt style began when I put a freshly serviced validator into an acw. I could never get it to accept a bill. the bill would go in about 80 percent of the way, then the belts/ wheels would begin chattering. I tried the validator in several different machines, but could...

xcel electronics. I cant say for sure if they put the o-ring style belts on or if they were already on the validator. I had never seen these oring style belts and was wondering if they are a problem. BTW I have used both xcel Chicago and las vegas, and other vendors. I prefer xcel Chicago...

It seems like the xe validators I've had serviced recently aren't as reliable as they used to be. They seem to have some issues with the bills going into the validator. When I inspected one last week, I noticed it had o-ring style belts, not the flat ones im used to seeing. Whats the scoop on...

i am installing a used lw4000 for a customer that has a docking dryer with it. we are wanting to not dock the dryer, rather just leave it stationary. is there any issues with this. I realize that there is some programming changes and maybe a dip switch setting change. Are there any concerns...

Looking for a supplier of electric motor 30hp, 35xx rpm, 286t frame for protovest dryer. I have found many suppliers, but there is a wide range in prices.

issue is still not resolved. This unit has the old style blue ultrasonics, so we have ordered the new style black ones. will probably get them on this weekend and will run for a couple of weeks. will post and let you know.

do you know if I can unhook the sOnars and run the wash that way for a while. I know it would run side limit to side limit but that way I can verify if it is a sonar issue Thanks

2 experienced carwash operators are stumped. Laser 4000, virtual treadle, latest version vt. Every once in a while our laser will be coming across the rear of a vehicle, drivers side towards pass. side, and stop in the middle of the car and turn the arch. bridge goes fwd and get an arch...

How much do you think this project will cost you? How many cars do you think you will wash per day on average? What price will you average per car wash (income per car)? (probably somewhere between $5 to $12) If you can provide answers to these questions, I would be able to give some advise on...

sticker shock and box shock. Aerodry sent me a box of new cones a few years back. I was expecting new rubber cones like worldwide used, but instead got cones made from lightweight foam, rolled in a cone shape and seam that was hot glued together. They got them back!! way overpriced. I...

diamond is a distributor of water softners and mfg of ro machines. They have been selling to the car wash industry for a long time. If you are mechanically inclined and are familiar with softners, then purchase and install the softner yourself. Diamond water has the technical support to help...

I think if you drop the spotfree rinse pressure too much, the "free spinning" wands on the i5000 will not turn during spotfree.

I would ask about 4ft. t5ho fluorescent lights. They are less expensive up front, they use 54w, they are proven to work well in car washes conditions, and you get new fixtures. Some led kits reuse your existing MH housings, so you may still have crappy looking housings. The t5ho lights are...

getting prices on internet service to my wash. I would like to bundle with my 2 phone lines in order to get a better deal. I have 2 Hamilton acw's with dial up credit card acceptance. Century link (formerly Qwest) is the main provider in our area for phone service, however they are unable to...

the dust isn't really that big of deal, its just that the bagged towels are always "fresher" looking. I usually don't order from kleenrite since I can drive to dultmeier or windtrax and pick up vending. Thanks for the suggestion of kleenrite's folded and bagged towel. I found it in their...

I have always vended the blue folded and bagged quick dry cloth towel. They have recently changed the bag and the way the towel is folded inside of the bag. My drop shelf vendors do not like the new package ...many of the towels now get hung up. I've tried taping the package several different...
