    Ryko SoftGloss Maxx 5 - Color Wave

    Hello Everyone: I’m using a Ryko SoftGloss Maxx 5 with a ColorWave application that’s generally performing well. We’re dispensing Carnauba wax, and water rinse during the reverse pass through through the rain bar. However, during the drying pass, I’m still seeing a few diluted product residue...

    Ryko Softglass Maxx 5 - Pre Soak

    I have a Ryko Softgloss Max 5 (SGMX5 FX3U) model. Currently, we don't offer the pre-soak chemical. The machine does a decent job overall, but I still notice bug spots on the bumper and a few other areas. I'm considering enabling the pre-soak feature to help with this. Has anyone here enabled...

    Thank you. Do you know where I can find 1/4-inch black nylon tubing that’s UV stabilized? Kleen-Rite is currently out of stock. If you have a link, I’d appreciate it if you could share it.

    Cat310 Pressure Drop

    I checked the pre-soak bypass solenoid, and it was not opening—nothing came through it when the rinse function was activated. I also tested the high-pressure regulator by installing a new one, but the issue persisted. The CAT pump valves appeared fine; I cleaned them thoroughly and reinstalled...

    Planning to do it end of this year. Did you make it come out of the trigger gun or triple gun?

    Cat310 Pressure Drop

    Good Point, will do and update here. I dislike the presoak setup on JC; it's overly complicated. I wish they had done it the same as the tire cleaner.

    Cat310 Pressure Drop

    Hello, A few of my pumps are currently reading around 975 PSI when the trigger is pulled and about 1300 PSI when the trigger is released. I have JC set up, and three months ago, they were reading a consistent 1100 PSI. There is no noticeable pulsation in the system. Is it normal for the...

    Need Help Replacing Float Valve – Which One?

    Thank you for all the advice. Just replacing the filter and diaphragm did the trick for me. But I have kept a spare too. Always keep learning here!

    Need Help Replacing Float Valve – Which One?

    Hey everyone, I need to replace my float valve—it’s leaking. I’ve attached a pic of the current setup. I know it’s a 1-inch valve. While searching on Kleen-Rite, I came across a couple of options: Topaz Standard Float Valve with Long Tail Topaz Float Valve with Detachable Base and Short Tail...

    Rebuilding vs. Replacing CAT Pump

    Thank you! It looks like it's right on the borderline with shipping and possibly other charges, so I might end up saving a few hundred dollars. I assume a new pump would come with seals and valves included. I’m leaning toward buying a new one. Did I get this right?

    Sorry, I thought I mentioned it: 5CP2120W Cat Pump 4 GPM, 2500 PSI, 6.9 HP (https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-4217-5cp2120w-cat-pump-4-gpm-2500-psi-6-9-hp.aspx)

    Rebuilding vs. Replacing CAT Pump

    Hello - I have an old CAT pump that needs to be rebuilt, and I suspect the head may be washed out. Would it make more sense to rebuild it or purchase a new one? I understand that CAT offers a free rebuild—could you clarify what’s included and if there are any costs involved (e.g., seals and...

    CAT Pumps 1540E - Pressure Issue

    I identified the root cause, the tip size was larger for a few of the new ones we replaced a few months ago. Using a regular bay gun and checking the pressure helped pinpoint the issue. Another problem solved, thanks to the thoughtful input from this group. Much appreciated!
