Hello I tuned into the cameras this morning to see a beautiful foam show in the old Rainmaker. The problem is, that beautiful foam show never rinsed. The undercarriage isn’t coming on during a wash or manually. The tower pump runs manually but not during a wash. I’m really scratching my gourd...

I can’t figure this out. The soap draws past the Kip solenoid when on rinse. I can watch it travel through a clear line to the check valve at the pump. I tried a brand new solenoid and then swapped wires from the wax solenoid and put a new rotary switch on because it had a lot of play in it. I...

Hey folks. I have a Hydro Spray rainmaker at one of my washes. Today it was cranking out the cars until a girl in a jeep ran past both the STOP and BACKUP treadle plates with the front tires and landed the back tire on the stop treadle. Well the carriage moved forward and the photo eyes never...

What do you use instead of these? I’m sick and tired of these unreliable timers and the condescending attitude of customer support.

I just calculated two different setups I’ve tried. These both put out amazingly clean and shiny vehicles. one setup is $2.90/car The other is $3.50/car average This doesn’t count the low ph pass I put on first. And of course TFW and ceramic. Chemical prices are beyond unreasonable in my opinion.

My current wash puts out a pretty good wash, but it’s slow. My number one priority is to put out a clean vehicle. Has anyone replaced an older machine with a Petit and regretted it? I’m worried sick that I’ll get this new machine and it won’t do a good job washing unless I slow it down to a...

I’m all out of ideas. It’s leaving a white chalky film even with a copper colored ultra lean tip. That dilution is injected through HP. The rep told me to start off with a PINK tip!! I’m so sick of wasting time and money on test washes. Not to mention the elbow grease it takes to wipe the film...

Hello Has anyone changed their Futura, or other hydraulically operated wash, to the water soluble kind Kleen Green fluid?

Hey guys. I had SFR siphoning from a bay. The diaphragm is shot. Can someone steer me toward a replacement? Ignore my hideous thumbnail. I smashed it about 3 weeks ago…forgot how bad that hurt

Hello. I’m trying to put together a pump stand and I need some help figuring out what part I need. The old paperwork listed a 3TB124 pulley, so I ordered it. Now I need the center piece that attaches it to the 3535 cat pump. I already ordered one that doesn’t fit. Thanks.

My vending area glass door was shattered early Sunday morning. Emv tap was used at that time. Is there a way to find out the name? I messaged cryptopay and was told that they can’t see names for taps. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi. I’m trying to install an automatic myself. Picked up a used gold line auto cashier. I don’t want to lay a block enclosure so I’ve been trying to find a stainless one. I don’t know what they’re called or where to find a new or preferably used one. I greatly appreciate any help with this...

Hello. On my Rainmaker I think I’m getting wax spots. The water on the hood and windshield is either thick and filmy, or it beads up and waxy spots are left when the wax is on. I can’t seem to find an in between. The sides seem fine. Could this be that the top nozzles are too far away? What’s...

Hey I was thinking about painting some yellow lines for people to gauge their vehicle’s width. I don’t know how wide mine are. So a sign would be useless unless you have a tape measure handy. What have you all done to prevent wider ones from scratching their wheels ?

The high ph hose going to the hydrominder turned brown and brittle to the point it cracked. So I’m trying something ignorant,as usual. I took a high pressure hose and screwed a SS check valve into it for a foot valve. The other end I used a 3/8-1/4 reducer and threaded it into the fitting where...

Hi there! I’m trying to add air assist to my PS to cut costs and maybe help it cling to the vehicles. Last year I put adjustable nozzles on it to lightly mist it on, but it’s too touchy. Last week I cobbled some old parts together, because poverty . And it seems like I need to change the...

I tried to fire up the hydro spray today after being off due to freezing weather. The pump has been dripping a little. I turned it on today and it just poured out water. Something in the main line is frozen, so that probably finished it off. So is that low pressure seals? I have two other used...

The pressure just keeps climbing. It’s now at 1300 psi through the sprayers and through the roof on undercarriage. It used to be adjustable but now turning this screw does nothing. Can anyone tell me what to replace it with and whether or not this regulator is repairable? Thanks!

My SFR starts off after the pump (pump also needs replaced so opinions on a replacement are encouraged) Anyway, starts off with: 3/4” hydraulic hose that tees off at the end of the 10’ section to the automatic. Travel straight through the tee and it goes to a two solenoid block and then through...

What pH do you guys run your presoaks? Mine is at 11.5. Is that good? What about the low pass?
