    Will they not punch thru after you grind them?

    Ryko skipping back

    I have a spare transmitter I think. It's almost always the transmitter, right? Thanks!

    Help: Key things to know when purchasing an existing Self Serve?

    I cannot see how a car wash that is doing any business could survive without an hour or 2 of attention every sunny day. In my experience even if the wash doesn't need attending, the customers do. Maybe that's just me though.

    New to Friction Machines where to begin?

    For my .02 worth I believe that putting in the Softgloss was the single best and most important decision that I made in opening my wash. All of my competition is touch free. I am in an area where there are a number of experienced Ryko techs. That is extremely valuable for a dumba$$ like me. It's...

    Ryko skipping back

    Thanks. That is helpful. You are talking about the Banner photoeyes, right? I replaced the wheels last year so I'm satisfied that is not the issue. Those photoeye brackets have been abused by some very poor drivers over the years.

    Ryko skipping back

    I do occaisionally get a random "17" prox switch code. I never really connected it to this condition. Does the fact that it only does it on cars and never on trucks or suvs make sense if it is a prox? Any way to tell which one? Thanks

    Ryko skipping back

    No I don't. It's about time for a pm though. I'll have him do it when he comes. Thanks. I think the ultrasonic should be fine. It's relatively new.

    Ryko skipping back

    Occaisionally, but not always my Softgloss will just not wash the back of a car. It's usually a small to midsize car that it skips. I have the program where 1 arm comes in then the other one on trucks and suvs and I never have a problem with them. Any idea why it would occaisionally skip the...

    water separator

    Owen Wilson had a great line in one of those stupid Jackie Chan movies. He said "what in our history makes you think I'm capable of doing something like that?" I read your thread before I posted but it was so far over my head I didn't consider it possible for me. It is probably a stretch of my...

    water separator

    I put a small one in front of the flojet but it has a very small bowl on it. I'm not sure if it drains itself or not but it looks like it may fill up pretty quickly. I was thinking about putting in a bigger one right out of the compressor. I think my doors and all those Mac valves would be...

    water separator

    I need to add a water separator in my air line. I see prices from $6 to $6000. KR has one for $150. What do I need and how much should it cost? Any thoughts? Thanks

    Ryko gearbox

    My packing slip says "reducer/25:1, 56c, l-4" for left r-3 for the right if that helps. Pretty sure that you are right about electa-gear.

    Are FLOJET pumps terrible?

    I suspect moisture is the problem. The thread about the dryer nearly made my head explode though. It was way over my head. I did order the inline dryer. Maybe that will help. I'm curious about the procon though. Is it air operated as well? Does moisture not affect the procon? I have a blue/white...

    Are FLOJET pumps terrible?

    No inline lube. We drain the compressor almost every day but that just gets what's in the bottom. If it's just a moisture issue that should fix itself if it has time to dry out, right?

    Are FLOJET pumps terrible?

    It just quit pumping. I had my guy at the wash take it off and put it out into the sun. I'll check the exhaust when I get there later this afternoon.

    Are FLOJET pumps terrible?

    The g57 viton is what I have had. The guy at KR said the santoprene would work with that chemical so I ordered 1 of those and the drier. Together they cost about what the viton cost. I've had it at about 45lbs.

    Are FLOJET pumps terrible?

    I have the Viton. I called the guy at KR and he suggested an in line water separater. He also thought the santoprene would work with the tire chemical. He said that if it dries out it may well work again.
