    Need a D&S 5000 control panel display (I think)

    The green button to go to error code list and totals no longer works. May be in the display or cable as wiggling the cable ends makes the unit reboot and run hydraulic pump briefly. Anyone have an old 5000 pump stand with this panel on it?

    D&S 5000 question.

    Once again I thank you for your timely response. Believe its going to be the rear prox. When the photo eye beam is broken, the wash stops, turns on Hi pressure rinse and goes home. Had a little episode with a plastic duck on a customers radio antenna once...

    D&S 5000 question.

    replacing the gantry on my trusty 5000, isn't quite plug and play. Seem to have a prox switch or pulse wheel prox issue. On the first presoak pass the gantry moves forward, stops reverses and goes to bottom of rear and shuts down. Is the range of travel controlled by the pulse wheel counts or...

    Why pump doesn’t pumping the water?

    I'm not a plumber but it seems to me if the water can settle back into the pit once the pump sends what water wat trapped in the impeller housing, air would replace it and the pump would loose its prime. a check valve designed for the size pip that feeds your pump, would prevent the water from...

    Why pump doesn’t pumping the water?

    How far does the pump have to draw the water? could be the pump housing runs out of water before being resupplied, maybe a check valve to keep it from back draining when it shuts off.

    Triple foam dryer

    Air compressors make lots of pressure and not a lot of volume. If I found the right specs, looks like your 10HP can make about 35cfm (it really is a beast). I couldn't find a spec, but I expect each motor in an in bay dryer probably has the potential to move about 100 cfm. They use 2 or 3 of...

    Can a experienced veteran impart some IBA wisdom on me?

    I bought a wash 4 years ago with a 2000 vintage D&S 5000, I was told when I bought it not to spend any money on it, just pull it out wait till I could replace it. I might have spent 500 getting it working (new nozzels, belts, a couple swivels) Its still going. My main complaint is with only a...

    You can't make this stuff up!

    I don't suppose the terms "gender affirming" and "gender confirming" in the links your provided indicate a chromosome test was done to find out what he or she really is. Its amazing how words get used these days. Man (?) trying to be his own God. The end is near.

    New wash help

    I have a combo vac with an air compressor and it gets a lot of use, maybe because my air is still only .50 and all the convenience stores charge a buck. I added spot free rinse at my 3 bay wash, found an old procon pump and filter setup on ebay, fills a plastic150 gallon tank with a float...

    FRP question.

    IDX BT912 vacuum timers/displays

    Thanks, I would have never figured that out by their listing, way to technical for me. I'll order some and probably repair the originals and put them back, sooner if the D&S ones dont work...

    IDX BT912 vacuum timers/displays

    The cases appear to be the same, just the sticker with the dash IVS or dash DS. I'll give it a go, should hurt, just may not work right

    IDX BT912 vacuum timers/displays

    My led displays are not visible in daylight on my IVS vacs. I have some spare D&S vacs that as I recall had nice bright displays before I salvaged from a wash I dissassembled. both are BT912, but the ones in my IVS have a dash -IVS and the ones in my D&S vacs have -D&S. curious if anyone...

    Tri foam turning to jelly in the mixing tanks

    If I had to guess, I would say 4 or 5 gallon tanks, but I keep the float low so they mix fresh more often. I think I drained 1 1/2 to 2 gallons when I cleaned up the sludge. We have been getting notices the the local water is below standard....

    Tri foam turning to jelly in the mixing tanks

    the tri foam chemicals in the mixing tanks on my D&S 5000 have recently started to jelly/slime. A week ago my pink was barely coming out and I discovered 2" of jelly in the bottom of the pink and yellow mixing tank. Blue was much cleaner only a little slime. Been running a couple years so I...
