I haven't rebuilt the larger style Lexair, but with the smaller ones, I always cut off the air and cut off the water to the high pressure tank. I drop the level of the water in the high pressure tank below the level of the lexair. Remove the airline and the quick connect. Then I remove the...

My two cents. Both pieces look a lot alike, and wash a lot alike. In the end it really comes down to your distributor. Both machines are well built and engineered.

You know I hadn't ever noticed, but our bridges that originally had a treadle plate all have the black rollers on the entrance side and white on the exit, while our bridges that originally where Virtual Treadles have the white on the entrance and black on the exit. I have always just replaced...

1st issue: Check the foaming material in the pods. 2nd issue: I use their Glow Foam Polish and while I have never seen it glow in the dark, it probably would under a black light. JBS uses liquid colorant instead of a powder so you can turn up the color with little fear of staining a vehicle...

The black rollers go on the entrance side of the trolley and the white on the exit side. The buzzer should come with the Virtual Treadle Kit.

The black rollers go on the passenger side and the white rollers go on the drivers side. They should all be the same size.

Personally, success for me is determined by being able to see a profit when everything is accounted for. That said, if expenses are being well managed then you know what your gross income needs to be to turn a profit. Knowing the average daily car count and average sales price will tell you if...

You would still have to use the PDQ VT Board, but the ultrasonics and VT eyes from Wash World wold probably work.

i discovered the forum and joined in 2004.

I run the first soap pass at speed 5, the second soap pass at speed 7, waxes and spot free at speed 7, polysealant and drying agent at speed 9 with the water saver on and set to 400 psi., first high pressure rinse pass at speed 0 water saver off and set to between 1100 and 1200 psi., any...

Just based on what you have told us so far, i would say bad idea. However, it would be nice to have more information. What is the speed on the road? How hard is it to turn across traffic into the lot? What is around the lot (ie. restaurants, grocery stores,c-store, etc.)? What is the...

In a LW4000 there would be heat tape in each rail (the end caps bolt on for access), each bridge rail (there is a square plate at each end of the rail for access), there should be a small piece of heat tape under each eye of the entrance eyes, exit eyes, and T-bar eyes. If the LW4000 has been...

If you are considering putting in a friction unit, why not put in a mini-tunnel. The cost should be less than 2 Laserwash 360+'s. They can generally do about 36 cars an hour in a 35 foot bay.

I have thought of using the Cryptopay for our ACW5's but I am worried that it would throw off the reports, which we use to verify that there haven't been any successful cheating attempts. Currently, we verify with both the count of the ACW Controller's Audit Report and the count on the POS's...

I know at $4500 the Over Glow Retrofit kit for the LW4000 is pricey, but it would allow you to do what you want and then some without having to reinvent how to apply an LED light bar to the bridge. I don't know if it can be purchased with a UV LED light bar, but you could replace the one that...

Does this error happen all day long or just around a certain time each day? If it is happening at about the same time each day then you may have sunlight getting to your T-bar eyes. If it is happening through out the day then you may have a break in the Festoon Cable. You can use a drop cord...

The LW4000 actually fires both the High Pressure Pump and Solution Pump when using the Polysealant, Drying Agent, or Rust Inhibitor Solenoids. I don't know about the Wheel Cleaner Solenoid. If you are looking for an extra low pressure only pass, then you have to use either the Soap 1, Soap 2...

The Razor uses a rail and roller just like the LW4000. It is a square Stainless rail with the 2 rollers riding on top of each rail. The rails can be purchased with heat tape inside to heat them during cold weather. The 360 and 360 plus use an aluminum rail that is actually more of a C shape...

I have seen a couple that have been installed this past fall. The plus has additional covers, a new pump station, and it eliminates the flags and pickets on the rails. From what little I have seen it compares very closely to the Wash World Razor VS2. The biggest differences between the...

Your distributor would probably tell you that the expected life of an iba is 7 years. Realistically, if the equipment is well maintained then it is really a factor of the number of cars washed. I have seen iba's that ran for 20 years with proper maintenance. Eventually, however, the stainless...
