    no presoak to bay

    Reds is correct. It is drawn by suction. When my soap guy (also JC disty) set up the new presoak that is how he got it to work, by adjusting ball valves. We closed them as much as possible and it worked like a charm for a little while. Then it quit again. I can't turn it down any more without...

    no presoak to bay

    I am not getting any presoak to any of my bays. I thought it was not drawing from the concentrate tank but even if I pour concentrate into the mix tank nothing gets to the bay. I was having the same problem earlier and just switched presoak. We had it adjusted just the way I like it for a few...

    Red lights on Ryko

    I switched the k-1 and k-2 relays and both the red and green are working. Go figure!

    Red lights on Ryko

    I ordered 1 yesterday. Hopefully that will do it. I found 1 spare but of course it was the smaller 1. Somebody, maybe Soapy, on the old forum posted once about where to buy these relays directly. There is not much written on the thing. $30 each for a relay seems like a lot! Thanks again!

    Red lights on Ryko

    Looks like the k1 and k2 are the same. I don't have a spare though. How many different size relays are there on a softgloss xs? Thx!

    Red lights on Ryko

    Both of my red lights ahve stopped working. I replaced 1 Sunday and both were working fine. Now they are both out but the right one will blink occaisionally. It seems like there must be a loose connection but it is happening on both arms at the same time. It seems unlikely that I have 2 seperate...

    Compressor pump rebuild

    Got an Applebee's right across the street! I guess my pump has been gradually going bad for a while. I can't believe how much quieter the new one is.

    Softgloss wheel scrub

    Worked for 3 days. I have a leaky cylinder. I'm going to replace it as soon as I get a rainy day. I took 2 old ones to the shop and they quoted me more than a new one to fix them. Oh well.

    Compressor pump rebuild

    I ordered a new pump from the Curtis disty. He told me that he had replaced many of the compressors that my car wash disty installed. It was supposed to be the same pump but they told me it would be a different color. Well of course nothing was the same. I had to drill 3 of the 4 holes to bolt...

    Can anyone comment on KR In-Bay Presoak

    Is that the purple stuff? I used to use kr chemicals and was satisfied with everything but the presoak. It is not nearly as concentrated as their other chems.

    Compressor pump rebuild

    My compressor pump locked up last night. I have to buy another one and it will be here tomorrow. Is it worth it to get the old one rebuilt? Where should I look to find someone to rebuild it? It's a Curtis.

    Softgloss wheel scrub

    I just gave everything a good shot of wd-40. I'll see if that helps. My niece played softball for Florida so it has been really fun to watch. It's a pretty big deal when someone from BFE Kentucky plays on ESPN. It has not been easy for me to be a Gator fan. It ONLY extends to softball and that...

    Softgloss wheel scrub

    The positioning looks ok to me. I cleaned the prox and the target and had no problems for 4 or 5 days. I had to go out of town and of course it started again. I'll try to adjust the prox alittle closer to the target. Neither of them have ever been replaced and they are over 5 years old. Is there...

    Softgloss wheel scrub

    This makes no sense but I ran the test function and it worked, the error went away and all is well. I have no idea why.

    Softgloss wheel scrub

    My wheel scrubbers are not working. I'm getting error code 66 which says that there is a breaker tripped but I can't find one tripped and the little white button is not out. The photoeyes seem to be ok too. Obviously I'm missing something. Any ides what? Thanks, J

    #!/$%# Rowe

    Fyi I sold the guts of my bc-2800 for nearly enough to pay for the Mars changeover. Don't offer to pay the shipping though. That stuff is heavy!

    Can brush soap be used for high pressure soap?

    I have yet to find a good presoak. What works well?

    Can brush soap be used for high pressure soap?

    So where are you getting your cleaning in the ss? I assume the presoak? Most of my customers don't use the presoak.

    Ryko is hitting home stop too hard

    Mark, I recently made that price comparison and it wasn't even close. Astromatic was much cheaper. On the other hand when I needed a contactor Ryko was much cheaper. When mine was hitting too hard the problem was in the target. It was bent and the prox was not reading it correctly.

    The latest Global Warming info

    If our government made a real effort towards nuclear energy the price of oil would be cut in half in 90 days in my opinion. I can not understand why the global warming crowd is not carrying the flag for nuclear energy. I finally read one of Dougs rants and I get called a sh!t for brains...
