The 2 that work unplug the plug out of the back of the timer and then plug it back in. When plug it back in note the version number of the timer. Then go over to a timer that doesn't work and unplug the timer and note the version number of that timer. If it has a different version number that...

I would disconnect the Castles U1F and if the timer starts working again. I know nothing about how Castles U1F terminals are connected to a pulse timer. Most of these devices are MDB and made for other industries other than the car wash industries. To which wires or terminals are you connecting...

“COIN” Indicates a continuous coin pulse to the timer from the coin acceptor or a shorted coin signal. Disconnect the wire from your added device to see if the timer starts working again.

Are you talking about just the grates or the pit water. I've used a hot water hose and a weed torch/burner to melt the ice build up on the grates. I bought my weed torch/burner at Harbor Freight, I think it was about $30 or so. When it gets to cold we shut down the car wash, sometimes it's not...

If your water line a 1 1/2" galvanized steel that has been in the ground for long time it's going to be very corroded inside and this will cause friction loss so I can see where you could have a problem running a PDQ 4000 and 3 bays of Self-Serve. You'll lose about 10 psi going though the...

Years ago at one wash we had to mount a 500 gallon tank up in the attic to support a added IBA. We had to beef up the overhead to support the weight of the tank but it can be done.

What you really need to do is rip out the shallow well pump, build a 2 bay manifold Foam brush manifold, install a air compressor to supply air to a Flojet pump and to inject air into the Foam brush solution. As long as the pumping equipment pumps water then leave it alone. My pumping equipment...

What is that stuff

First of all that is not a Cat 310 pump it’s a 5CP2120 pump. #1 is the regulator, it puts back pressure on the pump to regulate the pressure. To raise or lower the pressure screw the brass nut down to the raise the pressure and back it off the lower the pressure. To remove the head to rebuild...

It looks to me like you have a bad MX-8. Get out the voltmeter and check to see if you have power coming out of the MX-8.

I've got 3 - 11-0008 Payout switches

A friend of mine got pissed at his maintenance/clean up guy for collecting everything that he thought was valuable. So when the maintenance/clean up guy went on vacation for 3 weeks. The owner pushed the dumpster up to the back door and loaded it up. He did that 3 times. He also fixed the...

The Payout switch #11-0008 was discontinued years ago. I might a couple new #11-0008 left in stock.

I would hope so

We first started installing a relay between the timer and whatever the timer was controlling back in the early 90's. For our vacuums we use a 24 volt AC Mercury relay and for our coin boxes we use Omron G2R-1-T-AC24AC Relay between what we are controlling. This protects the timer.

In Washington state we pay 10.3% sales tax on everything we sell at the car wash, bay time, vending items. We don't pay sales tax per say on electricity, gas, water sewer, they have there own taxes built into the service. Chemicals and any repair parts we pay use tax, use tax is the same as...

After I got dumped by Nation Wide I tried to get insurance though The Western Car Wash Association. I filled out a application, sent in pictures, spent hours on the phone etc. When they found out my electrical system was over 25 years old they wanted me to replace the electrical system. Shop...
