We are New owner of existing SS we increase the amount to start from $1 to $2 and also adjusted the amount of time per quarter. Notification horn sounds with 1 minute left of wash time. Customer brought to our attention that if they add additional quarters during the horn notification the timer...
I’m tying to increase start amount and added time on self serve. I adjusted the dip switches and pressed the reset button but it will not reset. Am I doing something wrong?

Trying to learn a little about a RO system. The digital display for water quality fluctuates between 2 and 8, at what reading should the membrane be changed? Thanks
We have a pdq m5. We have a on demand water heater that feeds into a reservoir tank. Water temp is set at 133 F. But The water in the tank is much cooler. Do you guys have any suggestions to keep the water hot? Is it feasible to feed the hot water directly into the chemical pump. Does anyone...
Ok GUYS. Looking for opinions. On. M5 the arm will rotate the wrong direction once in a while. It has done it on the first soap pass and other times it will rotate the wrong direction on rinse pass. at first I thought it was a error in the wash program but it has done this on multiple...
Looking for your guys opinion Who have traversing spray arms. Do you use a light coating of grease on the rails or silicone spray. We went to a silicone spray thinking the grease would collect dirt but now rails squeak in cold weather

1: On a Laserwash M5 what metering tip do you recommend for the soap? We replace the chemical pump and soap now foams really well and covers the cars well. But we are using a lot of...
Has anyone tried using solid rubber tires instead of tube tires? If they would work it would eliminate loss of tire pressure during season changes. I’m wondering if they would get a good grip or would they be to hard and possible slip
Need some suggestions from you guys
PDQ M5. Soap and wax is watery and not foaming. Checked air and had good air flow. Noticed chemical pump pressure was low only about 60 psi. Normally runs over a hundred. I’m hoping the check valve might be blocked and can’t open all the way. if not do you...
Guys I just posted this in general comments then realized it might have been better here
Does anyone have experience with a PDQ M5? We need to change the oil on the rotational arm gearbox. The ID tag specifies Mobile SHC 630 oil. But we don’t know the quantity needed to fill it. If it helps the...
Hey guys- Any one have experience with PDQ M5? We need to change the oil in a rotation gearbox on a PDQ M5. Does anyone know the amount of oil needed to fill it?
