    Bill acceptor not working

    The Talos validators are good validators, but they are not made for a wet environment, like a car wash coin box. Customers will spray water into the bill validator thinking they are going to get addition time, but all it does is ruin the bill validator. There is nothing that you can do in the...

    More customer insanity

    I while back I was working around the car wash and women came in parked her van off to the side of the car wash. She gets out and said to me right away you owe me some money and I’m not leaving until I get it. I said what seems to be the problem your car wash ripped my driver’s side mirror off...

    FlowJet Pump Issue

    You shouldn’t be using a Santoprene Flo-Jet pump on your Presoak system, you should be using a Viton pump on the Presoak system. About 30 years ago I switched my Flo-Jet pump out for a electric Procon pump, controlled by a MX-8 multiplexer and I’ve never regrated it. It’s a little expensive...

    Stuck nylon nut

    Heating it up and melting the nylon/plastic insert won't work. It's a steel locking nut with a nylon/plastic insert.

    Anyone repair their own motors? (Start switches, bearings, etc)

    Replace the start switches and the start capacitor. I wouldn't replace the bearings. I haven't done one of those in years.

    Stuck nylon nut

    It looks like a lock nut with a nylon insert. Since you've only got one stud left on the top of the coin acceptor you want to be very careful that you don't break off this stud. I'd use a Dremel tool and careful cut off the nut on one side then turn the 180 deg and then cut off the other side...

    Razor blows several pressure gauges~ why?

    A couple of years ago when I was a young man I was in charge of the calibration section for the organization that I worked for. If water is getting into the gauge the pressure tube inside the gauge is leaking. This will cause the pressure to build up inside the gauge housing and blow it apart...

    Tip Sizes and Dilution

    When I used that garbage KR soap I used it per the instructions on the label and it worked fine, just mix 10 gallons of water with 1 bucket of soap, how hard is that. I think I used a Yellow or a Purple tip. The problem we had with the soap was it will snot up and look like the snot in Ed's...

    Razor blows several pressure gauges~ why?

    Russ is right you always want to use a liquid filled gauge and you always want to use a gauge that is twice as high as the pressure of the device. If your running at 1500psi you want to use a 3000psi gauge.. I've had problems with the Kleen-rite gauges blowing the rubber plug out of the top of...

    Called it quits.

    Earl Congratulations, that’s a smart move. I’ve been kicking the idea around about selling out myself. At 74 it’s getting harder and harder to work the car wash. Again Congratulations and enjoy your time with what you want to do.
