Fellas what would cause the fuse the blow anytime someone selects tire cleaner in any of my 6 bays. I thought it was the motor so I changed it, not it. This is Coleman equipment and I'm stumped. Thx for any and all replies in advance.

I changed the tip and the belt, still no dice. I will check the weep valve and hope it's that as I don't want to start the eliminating process. I'll report when I find this and as always thanks to all who chipped in.

I'm having some loss of pressure on a brand new cat 5cp pump. Put on a new high pressure regulator thinking that was the issue, checked seals and valves. When the gun is not depressed, pressure is 1400, as soon as you engage trigger you can feel pressure discharge and the psi falls to 800. I...

So far I have seen no drop in business and not one complaint. I haven't done month over month so I can't say for certain if I'm up, but I believe I am. I do know that going to the wash and getting paid is a much more fun experience.

I went from 3:30 at $1.25 to 3:05 and dropped bonus time from .50 to .37. Vacs went from .75 for 4 min to 1.00 for 3 min. I look at some other prices here on the forums and wish one day I can charge 2.00 for 3 min. With everyone around me dropping prices, my small increase is a bit frightening...

I just raised my prices at the bays and vacs. I'm nervous that it may upset some customers but I feel confident that at the end of the day they will realize that my services are better than the competition(.25 and .50 within a mile). I raised the bays 13% and the vacs 30%. Let's see what...

I had 2 wax options, clear coat and wax. It was a hard decision to figure out which one gets more use by the customer, cough cough.. So basically I had one extra option on my rotary. The tough choice will come if this rivals the air shamee and I need more room for them both. That will be a dilemma.

I have it set up to use about 1/4 of an ounce per cycle (3.5 min). So that is around .04 per cycle ($1.25). If I use the whole 5 gallon bucket, it should yield just over 3k.

Just had the tire shine installed by the Diskin guys. The guys are great to deal with and the unit is working great. To properly get all four tires they are spending about 4.5 minutes, you can do it faster but most folks take their time if they are to put the dressing on. One thing I love about...

Thinking of putting this unit in one of my self serve bays next month. Anyone try it? Hear anything of it? It's listed on Kleen rites ad pages for 2k. Just looking for something to raise the revenue and any opinions on this unit would be appreciated.

Hello, could you please contact me regarding the breakins and the person of interest. I tried pm ing you a few days ago.

I went through the same back and forth for about a year. A little background. I am in a very populated area in north Tx, there are 5 self serve sites with at least 6 bays each, 6 express tunnels, and too many to count automatics within a 3 mile radius of my site. I have a 6 bay ss. I keep my...

Thanks for the replies to all, but I'm done playing electrician after a nice jolt while on a ladder. A real one coming out tomorrow , I'll post if anything really dumb or brilliant happens. Thanks again fellas.

I just bought a hubbell 150 watt wall pack, the one from kleen rite catalog. They also sent me the bulb that goes with it. Problem is none of the metal halide bulbs are working in the unit. There is power going to it and regular household 60watt bulbs work just fine. Is there something going on...

I followed the wiring from the old one. I double checked it to make sure it matched.

One of my bays is reading a quarter as two pulses. I changed out the sensotron but it still read wrong. Changed out the timer and it worked, so I thought. 2 days later and its doing the same thing with all new components. Coleman timer with sesotron acceptor. Can it be the wiring? What should I...

You may want to try to change out the check valve that is right below the hot water tank. I had this exact thing happen last week and it solved it.

Hey fellas if you guys want any info on this, pm me and I will share what I know.

I dont want to go in big detail on a public forum about this subject, but need to see if anyone has had this happen and what can be done. Thanks.

DFW its been warm but windy as hell. My first year and am slightly worried that the spring will not bring in what it should due to weather. Anyone else see less than stellar 6 days around my area?
