Help! I have a friend who had a face plate stolen from his self-serve bay last night. It’s 2005 era Ginsan coin box. Ginsan is saying it’ll be weeks before they can get one. Does anyone have one laying that they are using?

You more then likely have a solenoid valve problem. Try turning off your weep water supply and see if stops. I have solenoid valves on my pumping equipment that will get a small piece of debris under the seat and they leak by.

I’ve been in the Bill Changer repair business for a long time and I don’t know of a bill changer like what Keno is talking about. Do you count the coins you put into the changer and then keep are record of how many coins your hoppers have dispensed? How much do you lose per week? Some weeks we...

You can try some graffiti remover and then hit it with a turbo nozzle at about 3000psi and it might take it if off. Your going to have to clean the whole vac island so it'll all match or you can paint the vac island gray

We no longer have card swipers. We took them all off and replaced them with Tap and pay, forcing the public to use card chip or there phone. So far we are happy with the results. The Cryptopay system has nothing to do with the validator acceptance. If your accepting Tokenotes now you can...

14 inches X 77 inches isn't a very big sign. Where do you plan on putting this sign on your car wash? We have a digital at one of our car washes, I think it's about 5' X 5'. At one of the other car washes the bulbs burned out years ago and we turned it off, it had no affect on business by...

I've seen it a few times over the years that you get a 24 - 28 volts but you don't get enough amperage to fully open the solenoid. It's always nice to figure something out. I don't have all those water tank problems. My pumping plant is fed with reduced city water pressure, very seldom do I ever...

Try switching the hoses around so the Hot is on the Cold side and the Cold is on the Hot side of the Dole valve and see what happens. Is the cold water fed by city water pressure?

That part goes in the hole under the motor.

There are a lot variables here. What's your air pressure to the pump and the air pressure on the foaming? What kind of pump are you using to pump soap fluid out to the bays? Do you have any pictures of your set up?

Nope, they were long gone by the time the internet came along. Here’s some info for you. The last Slant automatic was installed on Whidbey Island in the small town of Bayview Washington in the shopping center on the corner of Hwy 525 and Howard Road in around 1996.

You got an address or some pictures of the car wash?

What's the general condition of the building, the floors etc? can you post some bunch of pictures of this property and the location?

Does your GC know anything about car washes?

I think your best route would be to clean out the holes that the valves are in, clean up the valves a little bit and do what Blanco has suggested by doing a pressure test to see if the system is going hold pressure. I would go over 30psi on a pressure test.

Pump #1 problem. When you re[laced the seals did you check the pump head for any signs of head washout? If the head is washed out the seals that you installed are ruined by now. Another thing you can try is to disconnect the water supply to the pump, temporally install a hose on the connected to...

I think I might have a used one, I can see it in my minds eye.

I don't understand what "One bay with 2 stations" is? How many stalls does your car wash have?

The old AE2612U3 validator if you can find them. If you have them now just keep getting them repair when they go back. All the frames of the AE26X2 series validators are the same. All you have to do is to change the front bezel to change the configuration of the validator. If you want to take...
