    PreSoak streaking

    I’ve had good success with Quest 4WD Hi – single step Pre-soak. Titration at 20-25 drops? Air-assisted application? Streaking could be due to excessive Pre-soak volume and low air pressure. 4WD Hi works best with warm soft water.

    How Many Quarters Is Too Many?

    Nearly all of my customers dispense $1 coins from their changers. With MicroCoin acceptors in every device, they also accept customer's quarters. I converted to $1 coins in 1999...with $3.00 to start the bays. That didn't stop the customer's quarters from pouring in. Instead of regularly...

    Nayax and LED6 constant count-up

    Puzzling...All of my Nayax VPOS installations use the car wash’s 24 vAC tranformers. No smoke! To have VPOS to serve as the Bay or Vacuum’s timer (providing steady 24 vAC output to the load) one can utilize a HiLetgo 5V One Channel Relay Module (or similar) from Amazon. Position the relay...

    First Winter - Antifreeze vs. Weep

    You can use winter formula to protect your brushes. For triple foam guns to work properly in freezing conditions consider this: Water weep will dilute the product. When the Weepmizer turns on the water the tri-foam product will be diluted and quality delivery to the active gun will be...

    It’s time to start thinking about Freeze Protection

    slash, I haven't had any issues using 1/4" poly for washer fluid lines. 2Biz and I have agreed to disagree about this. LOL 6 bay system for foam brushes and foam guns

    It’s time to start thinking about Freeze Protection

    2Biz, Thanks for the acknowledgement. It’s astonishing how long it’s been since we worked on your system. My current version takes advantage of Sieman’s/IDEC advancements in the SmartRelay platform…specifically it’s networking capability. Several SR can now be networked to provide expanded I/O...

    Pulsation sound in attic - Soap/Wax Functions

    Pulsation and pressure fluctuations are typically caused by air leaks in the pump's supply plumbing. Since this issue exists when only when soap/wax/presoak are selected I would suspect a loose fitting, or a cracked product hose.

    Rowe BC1400 - Counter discrepancy

    Rowe’s counter is the “Value of the bills accepted…not the number of “Bills Accepted” $1 bills advance the counter 1 number. $5 bills advance the counter 5 numbers, etc. If the counter is providing incorrect information, I would consider replacing the counter.

    Best thread sealant?

    Apply tape/dope to NPT fittings only. Do not apply tape or dope on JIC or “non-working” swivels. The tape/dope prevents the tapered faces from making full contact. And, always remove the wad of tape from a reused fitting. You’re welcome.
