    wand pumps?

    Thank you for the offer. I really appreciate it, but I think I will take your advice and look for another solution. Up to now what I have done is just dip all the water I can with a bucket and that helps a little. Thanks again

    every so often I have trouble with the dema injectors, and a friend who has a car wash uses flojet and he loves it. I just thought I might modernize a little. However I have good foam now.

    Dema chemical injector valve

    Thanks Diamond Wash, I went down and checked the water pressure at 70 pounds. What bothers me is my other 3 bays are putting out great foam. I have cleaned it out, replaced the water valve, and checked all the hoses. It's probably something really simple.
