I had a 1/3 HP pump motor (With Procon) short out, and it took out my IDX MX-8. I've installed a new motor, Procon, and MX-10...but I would like to protect my multiplexor from this happening again. Is there a Mercury Relay option or an inline fuse someone would recommend? I usually purchase...

Where/how would you recommend the mixing of the tire cleaner and air for foaming? I'm going to add a regulator to my tire cleaner...but this is where I'm at so far. I'm using a procon pump.

Can anyone tell me what this is? Is it a re-worked MX-8? It has worked for years, but I'm wanting to clean everything up.

Does the green wire on 1 look correct here? Shouldn't it be on 2 (earth ground)? Foam brush is working, but I'd like to make sure it's properly connected. Thanks in advance, and I'm going to clean it up...and get away from extension cords. 😂

I have a pump that's running perfectly...no out of the ordinary vibrations...holds pressure I'm running at 1200 perfectly, but it's losing oil at an alarming rate. I'm having to add oil every other day. I know it sounds like it should be obvious to see where it's coming from, but I really can't...

What is the intended application for using ball diaphragm check valves in a car wash? I know there are many types of check valves, but this is one I don't understand well. I'm going to replace some very old Hoke ball diaphragm check valves located near my Cat pumps on their stands...just...

Has anyone switched to the Dixmor LED6 in a Jim Coleman vacuum? I'm not sure which wire goes where on the new harness that came with the LED6? I've got the blue, white, orange, green, brown, red, and black coming out of the Coleman...that originally went to the 1034R.

I tried calling Jim Coleman to ask about replacement canopies. I left a message, but never got a call back. What all is involved in replacing a worn out canopy? Is this a DIY job? I'm not sure if this is something I should be looking for a local canopy company to do?...or keep trying to reach...

Are they so proprietary that they cost a fortune to keep going? Does anyone regret going combination? My wash is too small for all of them, but I might try installing one of the Fresh-N-Vacs. I like what Earl W. did with the fragrance lighting on his. I think I remember seeing a video link to...

Would I need to break out the concrete, and see if they are bolted down? I have no idea how deep it is...feels incredibly solid though. I'm seeing if it's worth moving these to my wash. Any tips/tricks for getting these moved would be really appreciated?

One of the bays in my 3-bay SS has completely nothing happening when spot free is selected. All of the other functions in that bay are functioning great. Spot free is working in the other two bays...along with everything else. The rotary selector was a little worn, and I thought that could...

Does anyone vend Johnny T's? I'm thinking about putting some up against Little Trees Black Ice.

I'll be in possession of some much newer self serve equipment in a couple weeks. I understand that Magic Wand isn't around anymore, but how much of what they used was proprietary for their self serve pump stands? I see what looks like LED function indicators on their pump stands, but there isn't...

I'm finally adding presoak. Are there any problems with delivering it to each bay through the tire cleaner supply line? (sharing the line) Would there be any problems with back pressure on the closed solenoids of whichever product isn't in use at the time? Could the potential for problems be...

I recently installed the Mars conversion kit from Etowah...I went trouble free for about a month. The error code I now have every couple of days is 3 flashes pause...then 5 flashes on the controller. The Mars acceptor just flashes twice if that helps. I can run 50-60 dollars through with no...

I've searched old threads...and have seen some discussion on these units...mostly just opinions of some of the companies that manufacture these units, but not much as to the pros and cons of running triple foam to the foamy brush. Also, for those who run triple foam...which I'm about to...

I currently run a Hamilton ER-60 with a new XE validator installed. I should have made it a Mars. My only HUGE complaint with the Hamilton has been the stacker...and yes, I purchased a new one...jams on a busy day hurt...I called Hamilton...removed the teeth...still had the problem. So, I run it...

I currently use belt driven cat 310 pumps w/3hp motors, but I see direct drives out there...and I'm just wondering if there are any advantages? Also, where does the 5hp over the 3Hp really make a difference in a self serve setup? I purchased a used K O Manufacturing setup with 5hp direct drive...
