    Hot water for chemicals

    Do you use the immersion heater in conjunction with the on demand water heater or does the immersion heater replace the on demand water heater? I assume the electric immersion heater would add a significant increase in utility cost? thanks for the help

    Arm rotation

    We think we have it fixed. The rotation hub the 3 sensors look for was extremely rusty. We wire brush the surfaces and ran it for a day then replaced all 3 sensors just to play safe. Have not had any more problems since. When it was rotating the wrong way we damaged a customers passenger...

    Sorry evidently my previous post did not go. We moved the sensor back in toward the target and set it about 1/8” away. We moved the target located on the left end (where the arm was over traveling and hitting the end) to the right awa from the end. Hoping it would sense sooner and stop before...

    M5 arm over travel

    The sensor was set very close to the target I’d say about a credit card width away. The car wash tech told us to set them about 3/8 away but that made no difference. We tried moving the target in farther away from the end hoping it would detect sooner and stop before hitting but still...
