I've personally never used 3/8" check valves, but I can't see them making any noticeable flow difference. Especially being mounted right above the boom.

Glad you got your issue resolved and back to working properly. Also, thanks for reporting back to everyone, (especially those who commented with advice on what to check) on what you did to fix your problem.

Randy, you would be correct. Old Magic Wand self serve bench. I would definately buy the valve you referenced instead of the Asco one. Only reason he would need the valve at all, is if he is using hot water for soap and wax. If it is cold water in the gravity feed reservoir tank for soap and...

Are you running hot water for soap and wax that pulls from the stainless steel holding tank? If the answer is no, you don't even need that 1/2" Asco Valve. Brass 2-Way N.O. Solenoid, 1/2” NPT, 125PSI, 24VAC|ASCO|8210G034 (kleen-ritecorp.com)

Turn air off to the pump and unhook the discharge side of the flow jet. Start adding air back to the pump and see if it's pumping.

I'm guessing the issue or the fix is top secret.

You've got to have a mercury relay or some type of contactor under the dome on top. Can you take the blue dome off and take a picture? When you jumped terminals 1 & 2, you bypassed the timer.

If you jump 1 & 2 does the vac work?

So, what is the issue?

Timer in the pic is a Infitec timer.

What kind of timers does your vacs use, that don't go up to a $2.00 start?

Any machine can be quite complex if you don't have the knowledge to work on them.

Have you had them installed long enough to see what percentage you are paying in fees?

@APW it has been a little over 6 months since your last post on the Monex swiper you added. Any updates you would like to share, as far as reliability and fees? TIA

Going off this picture that he sent me, looks like it's too big for a plunger O'ring, but like 2Biz said, it's hard to tell from a picture.

You definitely won't have an issue with the foam brush, because it's not tied into the high pressure anywhere. Some equipment has a separate check valve for tire cleaner and presoak at the boom. If yours is like that, that's why it's just the presoak tank. If it's just a single check valve...

Thanks Greg! I sent him a PM.

Wow! That old Magic Wand equipment brings back a lot of memories. Still looks great!
