You’re most likely wasting your time. As I posted in your other thread, this relic has been discontinued so long, you will be hard pressed to find anything to repair it with.

That hopper was discontinued in the late 80s. Parts have long since dried up, and I would be surprised if you could even find a used one. Watch for a used square hopper, and Randy can probably help you get converted to the current style.

This express wash insanity probably has everyone on edge. Ethics in that segment don’t seem to be that plentiful and operators feel like that any day one is going to be built in their laps. It appears the tide is turning for them and we’ll see who is left standing in the end. I feel sorry for...

Been there, done that...twice. I sent them to Randy for repair. Not sure about a parts source though.

He could do all of that, but couldn't build some shelves? I can just see those cheap plastic things collapsing in the middle of the night.

I'm pretty sure that's a popoff valve, for when the trigger on the gun isn't pulled.

Thanks to MEP001, here's a trick I've used to figure out which bay is the culprit. Run all bays until the HP hose gets warm and then shut them all off. The one that cools off the quickest is most likely the problem. Of course, this is assuming hot HP and cold weep. If that's not the case, adjust...

I actually had three of the American changer CC to token machines. My experience wasn't much better than Soapy's.

Are you planning to dispense tokens from that side? If you plan to dispense quarters/dollars, I would check to make sure you don't have other hoops to jump through, since it will essentially be an ATM at that point. Also, if you do plan to dispense cash, let me know where it is. If it's close...

Who could have seen that coming... :rolleyes:

You probably should have just turned the switch to OFF... :) My family was in the business long before trigger wands, and rotary or push button switches. We only had water with soap, water without soap, and OFF. If the toggle switch was not in the OFF position...look out! We always got a laugh...

That was my first thought as well. Or maybe he was posting while riding in the back of a pickup truck on a bumpy road.

Randy, aren’t some of the Mars validators $1-5 only?

Without running out there and looking at it, I think one is just after the bladder tank and before the UV thing, and the second one is part of the UV system. The softener was actually used. He removed it from his previous home before he sold it. He rebed it and got it to like new condition...

I know you guys have been on pins and needles wondering what I ended up doing, so I figured I would post an update. After testing, we found that although my water was high in iron, sulfur wasn't present, but I had coliform bacteria. So, now I have a Kinetico 4060S OD water softener, a UV light...

Did someone have confidence in them before that?

I had an identical tank at one of my washes. The brand is Magic Wand. The far left tank on mine was hot rinse water. If I remember correctly, they are in Bristol, VA. The company name might be Istobal now.

I used the CTX-812 as well, so I’m sure Dakota Hoskins won’t be happy, having several washes using them.

I remember one where he went to check someone’s computer that wouldn’t come on. He found the power strip plugged into itself.
