    The 75 Cent Mystery

    This would explain why I one on backorder for 4 months now. I assume it's the chip problem? Is there a direct replacement I can use with the same function and wiring for the MA850?

    Opinion on Crypto-pay for vacuums

    When I bought my wash I was hesitating on installing swipers on 6 vacs but glad we did and they do well. Take a look at this charge from last week. I'm afraid to check the vacuum and see what's inside. :unsure:

    Hours replace vac shammee motors

    Hello, This is the only thread that speaks to hour meters for the Air Shammee II's. I'm looking for a part number and location to buy four hour meters for an upcoming installation. Kleen rite has some but are pricy and wish to get the right ones the first time. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Dilling Harris fluidtek boom

    Tear them out and don't look back. I had the same booms when I bought my wash and had high hopes of rebuilding them until I found out they used car axle seals from the 90's. The newer ones don't hang as low either. They were prime in their day but better ones are now available.

    Coins not dropping into vault.

    This exact thing happened to us this weekend. Cryptopay coin counters showed half full. Boy was it wrong and it was jammed all the way up to the coin mechs. Not sure why it malfunctioned after two years of flawless operation. A small snake seems to clear the drop tubes pretty well. Wish there...

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm out west and looking for something turnkey I can install. Mep suggested a couple to me and may go that route. Thanks, David

    no functions are working in my bay ???

    I too have the Dilling Harris soleniods and today swapped out one bank with new KIP's on my tire cleaner unit. It sloved my issues. Just cut the wires and install new terminals to attach. I found direct replacements on a lot of old Harris products.

    Goodbye Coin Box Bill Validators

    Sorry to hear the news Randy. Theft and equipment damage is never easy. It's a smart move to get rid of them now.

    Floot mat beater/smacking

    Same problem at my place as well. My tech's want me to wrap the building columns with barb wire! It never ends and we just repaint them each spring.

    Tire cleaner working by itself

    I'm gonna replace all of them just in case. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I'm learning as I do this stuff... Thank you......

    Tire cleaner working by itself

    Mep you were spot on. Just got home from a day at the wash. I tested the system out and that solenoid you pointed to cuts the air off. I found the KIP valve to be bad today. Parts are on order. With every car wash malfunction comes a new learning opportunity to learn how things work. I'm three...

    Tire cleaner working by itself

    MEP, Can I ask what is the solenoid pictured in the lower right above the regulator? It has a 115V style male plug on it. What does that one do for incoming air? Thanks for the guidance...

    Tire cleaner working by itself

    Thanks, yes just one bay. I thought the system had an air solenoid cut-off pictured above the regulator that cuts the air off when not in use?

    Tire cleaner working by itself

    This morning we pulled up to the wash and the tire cleaner was on and the chemical was pumping out of the gun. The panel was turned off. No one around but the system was on and the flowjet pumping fluid? Any ideas on where I should start troubleshooting? Never seen this problem before? Thanks

    Cryptopay Credit Card won't fit in swiper

    I had this exact problem a couple of months ago. Cleaned the swiper a few times with no luck. I had to send the swiper in for repair. They never tell you which part failed but it now works great. I finally bought a spare swiper to have in stock so I'm not down at any one time.

    Pit-y the fool

    Mine wash was built for rural use knowing mud was going to be a problem so they designed my pits 9 feet deep. Once every year and a half for me seems to be the average for cleaning. Dirty job! Keep those drain pipes clean with a jetter too! Overflowing pit drains with freezing weather is...
