    New contactor

    I grabbed a couple of the Fuji electric contactors with thermal overload relays and am finally now getting ready to replace a bad one in my pump rack. This old Sprecher has a jumper going from A2 to 95, do I do the same on the new one? What is this for? On the new thermal overload relay 95 is...

    WWYD?

    So I was checking out a competitors wash and went to test the hp soap but no water is coming out. I feel the pressure behind the trigger (blocked nozzle) before I realized what I did I grabbed a pick out of the door of my truck and unplugged it. What would you guys do if you were in this situation?

    Coinless wiring

    I'm close to pulling the trigger on the Coinless system for my wash. I have the Monex readers still coming for the bays but I'd also like to add Coinless to bays and vacs. I haven't seen discussion on installing the devices so I figured I'd start one. For my bays I'll have 1 of their 4 relay...

    Wiring question

    I was exploring the Coinless option for my wash and one of the units is a 4 bay relay that I would install in the equipment room. I was hoping I had conductors to spare in the existing wiring to carry the coin pulse to the bays. What do the 'tokens or last coin', 'coin switch' and 'timed...

    Leaking hydrominder tanks

    Quite a rabbit hole I'm down on the revamp of my wash. Now that the chemicals are updated and not the same soap for 3 functions I can see that there are leaks in the walls separating the tanks. Was thinking about flex paste but worried about chemical resistance. Getting it welded is way too big...

    Tire Cleaner problem

    Ok so I was checking things out today and tire cleaner totally out. In the past it was just the pump losing prime or air pressure too high, I could just shut off air for a bit and it's good. Now even with air off not a trickle out the gun. The psi gauge on solenoid bank is going higher than...

    JBS Blue Foam Soap

    Anyone using the blue bubblegum for foam brush? I made up a drum full diluting down to about 20% before going into a hydrominder with one of those turtle wax blocks.... it still seems pretty damn strong, copius super thick foam. Thinking about diluting some more. Anyone using it? How far down...

    Field repair coupling - HP water

    I have a leak above 1 bay from the HP line. It was a break a few inches behind the end so rather than replace the whole hose I cut it behind the break and put on a fitting. I probably messed up the install as the leak came back. Before I go back on the roof any tips/best practices for using...

    Adding Monex readers

    Hey, welcome to the next project I'm working on, card acceptance! I don't have the funds to install terminals at all 6 bays and 5 vacuums, so I am starting with 6 terminals. I was thinking doing the front 4 wash bays leaving the rear 2 cash only and doing 2 vacuums with inaccessible cash vaults...

    Turbo Towel placement

    Hey there, planning out my roadmap of additions, dryers are after card machines. I have 2/6 bays next to the equipment room where putting in a turbo towel and boom should be a snap. Where might one install on the bays with only 7.5 ft walls? Do I need to bring down a post thru the roof for it...

    Manifold fittings soap/wax/etc

    I am working on an issue with no wax going to 3 bays. Said bays work fine on presoak, wax, tire cleaner. I had a nasty separated mess in the vat and hydrominder of the wax so I suspect gunk. I've never worked with the fittings that are used for the tubing from solenoid manifold to block at main...

    Hey there hoping someone might have some experience with an issue I am having in one of my bays. I noticed one bay on hp developed a chattering, making a dreadful noise at the boom. This pump was dripping a bit so I went ahead and did a rebuild, new seal kit w valves, and carriers since I messed...
