    D&S 5000 troubleshooting

    Just had the identical issue. My soap valve was bad and forced presoak into my rinse tank causing foam. The valve body had warn thin and would not seal. Replaces the whole valve, 573p I believe. Problem fixed. It took me a while to figure that out.

    What kind of vacuums?

    I’ve used Fragramatics for 20 years. I have had good service from them and they have been reliable. I have replaced wear items but that’s about it. I have the shampoo vacs and the fragrance vacs. The fragrance is oil base and doesn’t freeze. The shampoo comes in summer and winter formula...

    Small wash for sale.

    In addition to heating the arches you can add a blowdown to blow air through the water lines. The blowdown can be set to purge after every wash or can be set on a thermostat. I run my wash down to 25 degrees without doors. Below that I will shut it down until warmer weather. I like the cold...

    Small wash for sale.

    Stainless steel arches are a real plus. I’ve got one in use that is a 2006. They do a great job but they use a lot of water and a lot of chemical. I’ve never had a problem with replacement parts (keeping my fingers crossed). It gets heavy usage, I have replaced 2 shafts and 3 sets of drive...

    D&S 5 Column Vendor is dead. Now what?

    I have a 3 column D&S through the wall vendor that I removed from a wash that closed. It worked when removed. It’s a big vendor with a stainless face plate. I have no idea if the electronics are a match. If you are interested shoot me a message.

    Water-Sewer Increase - Bay Prices

    One of my locations has a water rate of $26 per thousand gallons water and sewer combined. I am at a $2 start for 3 minutes 12 seconds. It works for me. Also, I would get rid of the $8 option on your auto to boost your wash average.

    Need advice on a 3 bay car wash

    It looks good to have been closed for 2 years. I wish I could find one that looks like that near me for 240k. I’ve repaired my share of equipment and it’s pretty easy unless it’s totally destroyed. I don’t know what anything cost in Chicago but a good wash that size in a good location could...

    Cameras

    I can’t wait to see some replies on this, I’ve always had trouble with license plates. I have used HD cameras and HD monitors. I can get a good plate if the vehicle stops in an ideal location. Seems like my trash dumpers and my vacuum dirt rats always know where to avoid my cameras. I can...

    Nayax weak signal

    I agree 100%. I wish Nayax tech support would have offered hard wiring as an option.

    Nayax weak signal

    I’m already heading in that direction. I didn’t know it was possible until this post. Tech support has never mentioned this option. I’d be interested to know what percentage of Nayax users actually are hard wired.

    Nayax weak signal

    Here’s the update on the high gain antennas. I got them all installed. They were combined with the T-mobile SIM cards, these were the ones that were supposed to support the network better than my original Verizon cards And they did for a week. Before the new antennas were installed the units...

    Nayax weak signal

    After several attempts I was able to get a good read on my credit card. This was 2 days ago And I took a picture of the charges before I hit the stop. Yesterday I showed a pending on my card. When I look at my card activity today the pending charge is gone and the actual charge is not listed...

    Nayax weak signal

    Thank you both for the info. I had no idea but this brings questions obviously, have either of you used this type of connection?

    Nayax weak signal

    I do have internet on site, one of the original draws for me was that I could connect without running additional wiring. Each Nayax unit has its own cell connection, I’m not aware if it can be connected to my existing wifi.

    Nayax weak signal

    I’ll start with the back story and will keep it short as possible. I have 5 self serve carwash bays with Nayax card readers. The first 6 months they operated beautifully and they grew to 50% of my total business. These were setup on Verizon SIM cards. About a month ago they all stopped...

    When do you all replace consumables ( Guns, hoses, etc)?

    I never replace hose guns or vac claws due to wear. They are always replaced because people run over them.

    I love the Nayax processors and yes their customer service is as bad as they say.
