Took over a 20yr old carwash with a problematic foam brush system. Would like to renovate it, please share your input on how you would do it efficiently.
It is not a flo jetIf you’re using a flojet, it won’t pump if your FB soap solenoid isn’t opening. Have you checked for voltage when the solenoids are supposed to be energized/open? Here’s a picture of my FB Generator, Mark VII pump stand…Maybe not as efficient as CB80’s, but has been very free of problems since I bought the wash. The generators are 30+ years old!
I had a system like that years ago. It was a nightmare to keep working right.No pump? So it’s an “old school” water-powered system with Dema injectors?
I just made some to put on the shelf for spares. I got all the parts from HD or Lowes. Like CB80 said, they just have nylon pot scrubbers in them. Mine has the scrubbers in both ends and the center is open. The scrubbers are held in place with 1/4" poly tube. I can give you more detail if you like. I've never heard of the "Old School" No Pump method!Could I just move the solenoids close to the boom along with a foam generator? I assume the foam generator that you pay 20$ for is just a piece of PVC with caps and threads right?
