My pumping equipment is 42 years old and still doing what it's supposed to be doing. It's well maintained, I've had to rebuilt it a time or two.

Here’s what you need a for a neighborhood car wash. A commercial grade ¾” garden hose, at least 100’ long. 4 good quality wash mitts, 4 - 5gallons buckets from Home Depot, A case of AJAX dish washing soap 15 oz lemon scented from Dollar Tree should be fine, 2 dozen bath towels from Costco or...

What's wrong with the equipment you have now. If you think by pulling in new equipment it's going to solve all of your problems your going to be mistaken, you'll always have problems at a car wash.

We have AOK equipment and it's easy to work once you learn how it all works. Your equipment room is a typical equipment room, a mess. My suggestion would be to get everything working, pumping equipment, low pressure systems, bill changer. Then add Crytopay Tap plus to the coin boxes. We did away...

I'm pretty sure you can't do it. Your going to have to replace the timer with a LED-6 or LED-7

How many bays do you have? You could always build a relay board to control an air solenoid valve. They aren't very hard to build and it would a lot less expensive.

The Fonic wash on the JBS web site is DT-100 it's not the concentrated PC-100 that you've been buying from Kleen-Rite. I've been using the PC-100 for both High pressure and Foam brush for years, I see no reason to change over to a Foam brush product. I buy all of my soap when KR has there buy 3...

The only thing you haven't done is to change out the flo-Jet pump, try that and see what happens. Do you have a strainer on the discharge of your chemical tank. If you don't you want to install a 50 or 80 mesh strainer...

It is incorrect. Coming off of the pump I have a 3/8" brass "T" one leg goes out to the bay the other leg off the "T" I have a 3/8" X 1/4" reducer and a high pressure stainless steel check valve and 1/4" needle valve to adjust the weep water flow. It's been that way for 42 years.

It looks to me like the check failed and the pressure has to go somewhere, a Cat pump will build a tremendous amount of pressure if it doesn't have anyplace to go. Like Fatboy769 why do you have a check valve on the discharge of the pump, it should an open all the way to the nozzle.

It looks really nice! You did an excellent job.

We have strainers on all of our tank outlets

I had a friend of mine who lived in Germany who liked to drive a clean car year around so he turned the garage at his house into a wash rack so he could wash his car in the warmth of his garage every Sunday. He put a drain in the floor and had a curtain around the car that hangs off ceiling. It...

You could install a multi-coin coin acceptor like a Slugbuster 3 and take the Dollar coin.

A 2 bay self serve car wash isn't going to need a lot of air, try the compressor Ed is using from Harbor Freight https://www.harborfreight.com/20-gallon-135-psi-oil-lube-vertical-shopauto-air-compressor-64857.html

I'm kind of surprised that those air compressors would last that long. A lot of the box store air compressors are made by MAT industries and private labeled.

Which model air compressor are you using from Harbor Freight Ed?

It all depends on how much air you really need. I have a 4 bay shelf Serve and I need air for my foam brush system, I only have one Flo-jet pump and use air to make it foam. So I don't require a lot of air. So I use a 20 gallon air compressor. Back in 1995 on the night before I was due to go on...

Which Hamilton pay station?

That's an easy fix. The end play on the motor is to excessive. Remove the Hopper pin wheel from the motor hub to remove the coin behind the wheel. reinstall the pin wheel and then rotate to wheel around so you can get a Allen wrench into Allen screw that holds the hub on the motor shaft, loosen...
