For new carwash owners

This is just an FYI

The picture is a valve seat out of a Cat 3535 pump. I also have to replace the inlet head at a cost of $3000.


Inlet Head


This is what we found stuck in the spring under the basket to that valve... No clue how it got there as it is pretty much a closed loop system with filters in place and nothing to that point is that small on any of the hoses.




Basically I am saying learn the sound of your pumps and when that sound changes, check it!

Yes, they do good work.

I have also used them to resleeve several cat 310 heads. I know that they also resleeve cat 3535 heads, I have spoken with them about it. They will also rebuild the head after they sleeve it.

Years chasing problems with my hot water boiler, pump went out again for the third time, and I found a three-quarter inch electrical conduit 90 inside the feed to the pump for the hot water. I have absolutely no clue how this could’ve got there. It also must have been there for years, blocking flow. Causing me all kinds of problems.

That would sure cause some problems. It must have been there since it was installed.

Is IDS pump repair still working?
I can't find any company that will resleeve a pump.

I called Vilco, IDS, Dynajet. No luck

IDS web site appears to be dead. Vilco is long gone and so is Dynajet

Does any company resleeve cat pumps? Or do most people buy new pumps and heads?

Just tried calling IDS's phone number from one of my old invoices and it rings twice and then goes to the old fax machine noise.

Doesn't Kleen-Rite still do it? It has been a couple of years since I sent one there.

I think Kleen-Rite farmed them out to IDS.
