    Karcher Issue

    I have an issue with a Karcher unit giving me an error of 'Roofbrush counter incorrect counting". I have already replaced the roof brush counter a few months ago. I have looked at the cabling running to the machine but the wires that the roof brush counter runs in looks good. I even found 2...

    D&S Super 5000?

    I had a customer that used to have 6 D&S 5000's and replaced two of them with Quicksilvers, then built another wash with 2 i5000's. They have told me that they will never buy another Quicksilver but would buy the i5000. I have been to the D&S training and the "P.M" on a Quicksilver takes about...

    How and when to apply rain X on a automatic

    As far as usage goes, Ecolab would suggest that you use 1oz per car, however I have set up machines using as little as 1/2oz. This biggest thing is to make sure that you are getting good coverage on the vehicle and also that the vehicle is getting dry. Right now I have 2 machines using Rain-X...

    Oasis XP hydrolic pump trips

    I have had the same issue before but it has bee awhile. We also had the breaker replaced but did not fix the issue. How many PSI are you running on the high pressure? We had hell with the unloader sticking and causing a bunch of issues. I can't remember what we did to fix it. I quit the...

    mark vii newbie

    I heard they are running a huge promotion right now. Like 30-40 percent off. So I think it would put them between 70-80k.

    Ryko R7B issues

    Okay you guys can quit laughing now. I have an old R7B that seems to have lost its memory. I recently had to replace the end limit switch and after that the wash is running a little different. On top of that, it is hooked up to a Wash Select II with no Code-a-wash. Originally the wash would...

    Mark VII turbo jet

    I work for Mark VII. I live in a remote area and have not had the chance to install or work with one yet but I have heard they are great. The controller is pretty simple to learn and the machine is pretty self reliant. What area are you from?

    Belanger Freestyler

    I have installed a few with a company that I used to work for. While they cleaned very well, they seemed like a pretty high maintenance machine. I still talk to one of the customers that I installed one for and they said they will never buy another one again. Start up was kind of a pain.

    Total Vehicle Protectant

    I have installed Rain-X in many car washes and have never had to use a certain product to get it to bond with the paint. I have even installed it where some of the products are not even Ecolab products. Shhhhhhhh.... Works great as long as the car is getting clean before the Rain-X application.

    Ryko Softgloss timing issues

    Not many Soft Glosses have a "presoak". And even if you are putting on a presoak, it is usually just a lubricant. I have seen many friction washes setup where the tri-color foam comes out first. I generally don't like them setup like that but it can save a pass and cut down on wash time.

    oasis-

    Jerry told me and another service tech, "that although there have been many improvements, the XP is one worst designs that they have put out." I honestly have not seen any of the other models, as Oasis is big in our area, so I am not saying that Oasis is a bad company, just that I would not...

    Thread Hyd. Hose Thru PVC?

    Actually DRay, this is used for the HP hose on the Q in the energy chain. Red, I think that stainless steel would be the best way, except it will cost a lot more up front. If you do the PVC, go with a 3-4 pvc to ensure when you replace the other hose, you can pull it thru with no issues...

    Blendco Titration

    I have personally setup a D&S 5000 with SuperSat. We would normally run the presoak between 30-40 drops with the tank titration at around 500. The biggest thing on the 5000 is that you need to turn the air down on it a little so that you do not use so much product. For me to tell you as to...

    PDQ G5 - Injectors and Blocks

    I don't have any experience with the G5 but are they using stainless steel injectors? If so there are really only 2 reasons that you will go through injectors the way you are. First of course is the typical one and that is, is your water hard, and the other, what type of chemical are you using?
