    no functions are working in my bay ???

    When you say you have 24v on the output side of the transformer and 24v at the timer, you have checked that with a voltmeter right? Reason I ask, just because timer lights up, doesn't mean you have full 24v there. Since you replaced the switch, if it is an 8 position switch, 11&21 have to be...

    Need timer for Air Machine

    Just replaced one for a customer a couple weeks ago with the one Earl linked above. Works perfect and can't beat the price.

    Fighting the Freeze During Winter

    Pat is correct. Black floor heat tubing was run through the rail.

    A few more Foam brush questions

    Etowah does have a nice system, but damn, how much more could it cost them to add a cut off valve on the discharge of the tank? Sure would make it so much easier servicing the filter, pump and solenoid bank.

    Seeking a push-in manifold for an Istobal Self Service bay.

    That's actually a 10 port manifold with 8 ports plugged off. Istobal does have them.

    No Power to Rotary Dial

    Any luck finding the problem?

    No Power to Rotary Dial

    If I'm not mistaken, on a 12 position rotary switch, they have letters instead of numbers. L1 L2 and L3 should be jumped together with the timed load wire hooking to them. Like Greg said, hooking up another timer that you know is working, will at least eliminate it as being the problem.

    No Power to Rotary Dial

    If you have an 8 position rotary switch, make sure that 11 & 21 are jumpered together. If it's a 10 position, make sure 10 & 20 are jumped together. With the timer counting down, check to see if you have 24VAC between 11 & 21 to neutral or 10 & 20 to neutral. Is it possible the new rotary...

    Woo Hoo My First Car Wash!!!

    All of those machines produced at the factory were bare aluminum. Definitely not an eye catcher, but a true work horse.

    D & S vacuum

    Sounds like there is an issue with the mercury relay. Only other thing I would have checked, would be voltage between the second terminal down from the top of the mercury relay to ground with the timer not activated. Should be 120v, that is what is transferred to the top terminal when the...

    How many times have you called Istobal tech support?

    D & S vacuum

    Yes, it is the part on top left. When it receives power from the timer, it transfers the hot side of your 120V from the second terminal down from the top of it, to the top terminal. Those 2 wires are the hot side going to each motor. In your pic, you can see at the bottom of the mercury...

    R/O tank backing up?

    If you have a bad check valve from one of the bays ( which sounds like the case), when you put the check valve inline from the tank to the distribution panel for the bays, you should definitely find out which bay is causing your problem. More than likely, when one of the bays are using a high...

    Istobal Washes? Who owns one? FLEX5??

    Greg, you got my number, just give me a call with any questions you may have. As mentioned above, there are no stupid questions, unless you don't ask them. Were you able to download the app for remote viewing?
