    Weepmizer settings

    I'm going back to weeping foam brush from using methanol soap (too expensive- $4.50 a gallon in my area). Flow rate through foam brush: I've been told that it should be a little more/faster that a rapid drip. Does that seem right?

    Low PH and high PH

    I ask this question every few years to see if times have changed: Do you apply low PH then high PH or Do you apply high PH then low PH ?

    WW Razor Grease Fittings on Unloader Valves

    I used to grease them on a routine basis. They all would leak. Now, two years running, I haven't greased them since and no leaks. I talked to a regional maintenance guy if he greases those when he works on Razors. Nope. He says "if you grease them they'll leak". I even tried that silicone...

    Arimitsu Pumps

    I'm told that Greg is retired- no longer with Arimitsu. Both Kleen-Rite and CarWashSuperstore told me the same thing. No pumps no parts.

    Arimitsu Pumps

    Great pumps. Love em. Used them for years with no problems. But like all things they need parts like seals and such. Problem is that you can't get parts during this shortage we're experiencing. Was told this morning that my part order for a rebuild wouldn't be shipped until March 2022 at...

    Anyone have an extra rear Razor sonar

    This part number crosses with the part number on WW catalog, P and F website and KR online: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-56396-inductive-sensor-4-wire-dc-pepperl-fuchs.aspx Don't know if it works, no guarantees. Never tried the KR part.

    Rotary Switches failing early

    The Electroswitch is seizing up where the shaft goes through the threads (through the faceplate). Put those digikey thingys on there. Also, in a pinch, drill a hole through the threads (hole the size of a WD40 straw). If you have a switch that's "in service" in a bay and you can see that it's...

    Arimitsu 516 pump seals

    "push the screwdriver in at an angle only touching the shoulder of the piston, not the shaft at all" The "shoulder" you mean touching only the case/green casting? The new seal you install how?

    Arimitsu 516 pump seals

    I've watched that video. He doesn't talk/show about the oil seal. This oil seal is mounted behind the ceramic plunger way back in there. Ideas?

    Arimitsu 516 pump seals

    Trying to find someone with knowledge on this pump and how to replace the oil seal. Tried Arimitsu with no response. Anyone out there replaced the oil seal? Just dig it out or is there an easier way? Thanks

    Converting a Razor 3 to a rain bar

    Those that have converted from foam-n-flow to a rain bar still liking it? I've got two automatics and it's a constant adjustment to keep the FNF going. Any customers notice? The FNF pipe fills from the driver's side to the passenger's side and the pump just can't quite keep up to fill the...
