    Check valve issues….

    In our three Bay self serve, I’m having some issues tracing check valve problems. Intermittently, I will have some water come back into our presoak tank in the equipment room, and it will overflow out the overflow discharge pipe. Since the issue is only confined to the presoak tank overflowing...

    Setting up new NTI TFTN Boiler....

    We just installed a new NTI TFTN Boiler with a touch-screen interface. I have no faith that the contractor that installed it set it up correctly. When I logged into the interface, it was all set at factory defaults. We use the boiler for trough heat and floor heat and it is charged with...

    Floor Heat boiler puked...replacement options?

    A couple years ago I thought our Weil-McLain CG5 boiler puked, but it was a leaking fitting that we replaced. However, this time she's gone for good. I had a local contractor quite us to replace it and he quoted between $9 and $10000 depending on the efficiency we wanted. I know it sounds...

    Hamilton Change machine hopper breakdown

    I have a hamilton change machine with the change hopper 11-0100 HSH version. When you put money in the machine the motor on the change machine just runs but the hopper won't emit coins, and then it throws an error. I would assume the gears are shot inside the little gear box on the hopper...

    Giant LP123a replacement pump

    Our in-bay automatic has had the same Giant LP123a pump for 31 years. We just started to notice some oil seepage this year and attempted a rebuild and can’t seem to stop the leaking. I would venture to say 31 years is probably max life span or over that. Anyone else running this pump and does...

    Does anyone use the same soap in their SS HP bays and IBA? We are considering liquid concentrates. If so, any recs? We may separate out the soap plumbing in the future, but right now we are just looking for a soap upgrade that works well for both SS & IBA.

    Hypro 2410-b pump issue....

    I run hypro 2410 plunger pumps in my self serve bays, and the bay pump that gets used the most is having an issue. It still has good pressure, but it acts like an engine that has a minor ‘miss’ to it. When you run the bay at full pressure you can feel it in the gun. It’s not the ‘machine...

    After 27 years, our Weil-McClain CG-5-SPDN Floor Heat boiler finally gave out. I'm guessing the heat exchanger failed. Antifreeze everwhere. Needless to say it couldn't have happened at a better time since spring is near. However, now comes the task of finding a replacement. Our wash is...
