Thanks for all the responses. Here is a follow-up. Ordered and received Smooth-Bor vacuum hoses and swivel cuffs to replace existing hoses. The construction of the Smooth-Bor hoses seems to be different from what I previously had(unknown manufacturer). However, difficulties of being able to...

I use 2 inch x 15 feet vacuum hoses. And for the longest time never really had an issue with them coming apart at the spiral seem. However, recently my hoses are coming apart at the seems in the vicinity of the vac claw (almost like unraveling) which requires me to cut off the short piece of...

Are you in a town that has an Express wash? Can your town support an Express Wash or at least a Mini Express?

I purchased a Dilling & Harris pumping plant for the purpose of upgrading an existing wash. The control box has relays mounted on a black box that contains a circuit board (one for each bay). I have no Idea what purpose this relay and box serves. If somebody can explain the purpose of the relay...

I've thought about adding this function, but was concerned about people using it to clean out their pickup truck beds. Anybody having this problem?

After tolerating this nonsense for years we finally came to our senses. First off, we now ban mudders. When they come in, we explain we don't allow this here. Guess what, our mud cleanups have significantly decreased. Next, when we see someone dumping household garbage, we ask them to take it...

You can't say it any better than that (LOL)

Be careful, before long he may decide to break into the trash compartment causing an even bigger problem. Good luck, this can be a really frustrating problem.

I had something similar happen. Occasionally, a customer would complain that the pump is not pumping. Then one day I saw air bubbles coming from the bottom of the rinse tank while the high pressure pump was running. As strange as it sounds, it appeared that the high pressure pump was actually...

We want to retire our 400 Matal Halide bulbs and replace them with LEDs. The current fixture is a canopy mounted box with plastic lens. The most cost effective solution appears to utilize the existing fixture and remove the ballast & bulb and directly wire the socket to the existing power. What...

The roof is all metal. The span between purlins is approximately 9' 9". The roof panels appear to be 20 ga.

My self service car wash facility's roof is getting old and tired looking. It's a flat metal roof with a three foot mansard around the perimeter. The purlins supporting the metal roof panels are in good shape but the panels them self are beginning to rust and will soon need to be replaced. I was...

I'm pretty sure it was purchased in December of 2012. I don't know the size of the bill box, but I know it is not the smallest available.

Does Rowe have to update the firmware or can I go to any MEI authorized service center?

Yes, the bill is cycled into the stacker.

I upgraded a Rowe BC 1400 with a Mars replacement kit (kit sold by Rowe) and sometimes when a customer inserts a bill the machine will take the money but does not dispense any quarters. Any ideas on how to isolate and correct this problem? Has anybody else experienced this problem? Other than...

I'm having a hard time selecting replacement float valves for my hot and cold tanks. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

I guess it depends on your clientele. Were fortunate to be located in an urban area with few mudders. Additionally, we also request that all trash be removed from pickup beds before washing. I'm just not interested in running a free-for-all car wash.
