I’m in the process of changing the unloader on my old Futura. What is the best stuff to use to seal the threads on everything? I’ve got regular Teflon tape, yellow Teflon, Blue demon Teflon tape, pipe dope? I used white originally an have some small leaks. What do y’all recommend?

So I’m back to fooling with my antique & one of my drive motors is leaking. It’s still driving just leaking at the seal. Are these replaceable or does this mean new motors? My top wobbler motor also has a small leak. Any info is appreciated, not much on the web about these anymore.

I’m having an issue with my setup not allowing soap to enter the pump. It’s back feeding just enough pressure to not let the soap enter the line on one of my bays. Pump runs fine otherwise. Any idea what that is? Does that mean seals, valves? Here is my current setup.

I was at my wash today finishing converting everything over to take tokens. I then went to swap the changer over & had no luck. It’s an old Hamilton double that has mei 2600 bill acceptors. One side has been down for several months. The working side has always only taken 1’s & 5’s. That would be...

I’m looking for some ways to generate more revenue at my wash (5 bay ss & 5 vacuums). I have added cryptopay & raised my prices since we bought it in May. We’re in a town of around 7000 & don’t have any direct competition in the actual town but there are plenty of washes in the surrounding...

So I’ve been slowly rehabbing the old Futura SSA that was the wash I bought since May. I know replace it, that’s the plan at some point. So far it got a wheel kit, new high pressure & pre soak nozzles, & the acw4 got a facelift & cryptopay. I have only been testing the wash with the no car...

Hey everyone, I’m catching hell in getting check valves to work for my application. They are 1/4 & are the valves that control the high pressure soap & wax entering the system on my old Futura setup. The ones the previous owner had on there were failing & starting to allow water to push back...

I need a fitting for my ancient Futura SSA. I don’t know if it’s a universal or not but not sure what it’s called.

School me on what chemicals I should look for. My old SSA is almost ready to be put back in action. It's only setup for presoak, soap, & wax. What are some decent, easy chemicals to get us going? We're currently using kleen rite ultra concentrates on the SS side but I'm open for whatever. Prefer...

Basically what the title says. Is it even possible? I have cryptopay units sitting here waiting to be installed. Can I add a dixmor led 6 to these old boxes? I know we need to get new boxes & that’s the plan at some point but if I can slap a timer in these & run them as count up for a while that...

What do I need to do to go to a single gravity fed holding tank & ditching the small individual tanks? They have seen better days & it seems like I could clean up a lot of hoses. I would imagine a single 30-35 gallon tank mounted on the wall or in the attic above the pumps would work but I...

So a few days ago one side of our Hamilton changer was flashing when I opened it. I proceeded to remove the hopper & vacuum it out & wipe it down. I tried restarting it but it didn’t help. I then pulled the bill acceptor & wiped it down but it still didn’t help. The fuse (I’m assuming) is not...

Hello everyone, we’re set to close on a new to us 5 bay SS with an old Futura SSA that isn’t currently running. Wash was built in 1998 & has had the same owner since. It’s in need of a facelift & a good cleaning but all the SS bays are operational as well as the 5 vacuums. It’s the only wash in...
