    We remove them when they go bad, might try those pulsation hoses. Haven't really had any issues by removing them

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    That doesn't seem like a lot, but I only have touch free experience, so that actuator could be getting more stressed on a choice wash machine? Do you have a water separator in the gantry? One of our older machines came with it, the other, newer one didn't. We added it to the newer one. If you...

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    Mark 7 is very proud of their parts! All their parts are super expensive, and the same parts without the mark 7 logo are usually 1/2 the price or less. I've gotten some stuff at 80% less than mark 7 cost on the same exact parts

    Vacuum Motor replacements for JE Adams 29070 Ultra Series combo units

    We use the vmk because they are cheaper like edredtop mentioned. I have my guys replace brushes when there is extra time and rainy days. I didn't replace brushes when we did everything ourselves, wasn't worth the time, we would replace the motor.

    Fuses for JE Adams vacuums

    I don't have any JE vacs, what is so special about them? And why would JE use a specialized fuse, that's highly inconvenient for owners of the vacs

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    I think they sell rebuild kits for this if you want to keep a spare after replacing. Why is it going out so fast? How many washes does that 8 months represent? We have similar in our mark 7 touch free machines and get good life out of them. Is your air dry? Moisture in the compressed air will...

    Credit Card Pricing Structure

    Count up, don't up-charge cc customers. You want to encourage cc users, they have a higher average transaction amount by far. That alone will offset any fees

    Which Compressor should I buy?

    These work fine for SS washes, will get killed on an IBA. We had to use as a backup once when our main compressor motor went down on a Friday night. Didn't even last the weekend until we could repair the main compressor. But we use them in our SS washes as permanent replacements when the main...

    Fuses for JE Adams vacuums

    Have you tried home depot or similar? Local electric supply house? Hvac supply? This should be very common to find locally.

    Motor Starter has me stumped

    Amp clamp would be the easiest. Multimeter with an amp clamp is a super useful tool if you learn to use it correctly. That would explain it, if overload amps are so low.

    How much profit does that represent? Vending hasn't been worth our time at our sites, more of a customer convenience

    Mark VII Aquajet XT 700

    Mark vii machines clean really well and the 700 machines are faster than the base models since top and side HP can be run at the same time, saving passes. Mark vii is a very distributor focused business, so make sure the distributor is reliable for the long term. They use a good amount of...

    New to the Carwash business

    May have to try the teepee, but currently we have the stainless dome covers. If the trash doesn't fit, they'll just leave it around there somewhere.
