Yes that leak was just from taking the pump head off. It is completely dry?

I think it’s wet from me removing the pump head but I will run over there and verify it is not leaking.

Ok so I replaced all the soft seals and the check valves and it does the same exact thing. I’m going to switch the unloader/regulator with another known good one and see if that helps any. It’s almost as if it’s starving for water. Once weep is primed up it sprays without any pulsation but once...

Yeah those suckers are in there. I’ll order the extractor kit tonight and get them replaced and I’ll probably go ahead and order new packings for my other 5 pumps and replace just to have a baseline of when they have all been replaced and serviced.

Hey MEP where do you recommend me getting the extractor tool and what size wil I need? I found a kit that does like 13mm to 24mm will that work? I took the pump apart and this is what I found. Nothing looks washed to me.

Down in my area we must be cheap. I’m a 1$ to start and :30 for every .25

Do you have a name for this guy?

Awesome thanks as always MEP. I’m interested in expanding this location and installing a mini and Also I’m looking to expand on purchasing another car wash in a neighboring town. So I’m not going anywhere and you will see more posts from me in the future.

Where do you recommend getting these parts from?

I have 1200 in rolled quarters that I’m unable to deposit from last month.

Hey guys I haven’t been on in a while I’ve been stuck out of town for work and it’s hard maintaining a car wash and traveling at the same time but here’s my dilemma. I have general pumps for my hp and one bay is pulsating pretty bad when rigger is pulled. If I let the trigger go it seems to...

Actually I have a CAD drawing of them if it helps any.

When I get over there I will measure them for you. I got them from Doug over at Ginsan. Stand up guy for sure. Give him a call he will get you handled.

Making great progress. Customers are loving the fact that I stay on top of the maintenance and nothing takes their money!

Thanks for the “pro tip”
