    Discouraging Bad Stuff at the Wash

    I'd have to add a figure of a cop handcuffing them for this to help.

    Timer question

    The transformer is most likely going bad. You would need a couple hundred feet of very small gauge wire on the low voltage side to cause a voltage drop.

    solenoid brass valve stem

    I roll up a piece of Scotch Brite so it fits tight inside the stem and spin the stem over it until it's clean. The regular green stuff will work, the purple works better if you can find it.

    This isn't a search engine. Try and form your question as if you're actually talking to people if you want anyone to help.

    Good Purchase or Not?

    This is sounding like another InvestmentJoy casualty.

    Expense of high resolution Security Cameras

    If you run a NVR system, you can get the same video quality across CAT-6e cables as you will from cameras with a SD card, no ladder needed.

    D&S 5 Column Vendor is dead. Now what?

    I could probably figure out a ladder program for a relay to run the unit, but I would need access to one.

    You know its fair week!

    All we have is South by Southwest. Good luck driving anywhere on Loop 1 for two weeks.

    Dixmor remote code?

    You've been thinking about this for four years?

    Help manifolds

    Post some pictures of your pump plumbing. Try to include everything, multiple pictures if necessary, and I don't mean a black-and-white image from your surveillance system of the entire side of the room. If you have city pressure feeding the pump on rinse, it's going to back up into the wax...

    High Pressure Floats

    That looks like calcium buildup to me.

    Low Pressure Cat 310

    I have, many times. There are swing checks that have a plastic seal on the flap that seats 100%. We in the south only weep 2-3 days a year. I tend to throttle back the main weep supply, but some people just run it full blast.

    Low Pressure Cat 310

    The check valve I pointed at is for the weep, or freeze protection. If it fails, the other bays will weep and there will be a loss of pressure. So that's probably not bad, yet.

    High Pressure Hoses

    The best way for you to make hose repairs would be to use reusable fittings. Crimpers are really expensive. I have a hand swager which is about $1000 with all the pushers and dies, and I'm paying $10 for the fittings now.

    Low Pressure Cat 310

    Knowing how crap these check valves are, I'd start there. The tell-tale sign that it's failed is that all the other bays will weep when this pump is running. The nut on the regulator does adjust the pressure, but do not crank it up. Those very rarely fail and cause low pressure. I can't...

    Surge Protection

    214 isn't too high when 208 is called for. You aren't even 2% high. Either you have lightning that's causing damage or voltage spikes from the city, and I can assure you they won't admit it or pay for damages.

    What was your worst customer?

    Especially since it's illegal in most states. In Texas it's a felony.

    central pay point for ss car washes

    I've seen a number of systems like that. I worked for a distributor who installed one of the very first ones, around 2000. These see very little use because people don't want to do it. Even the Swipe 'n' Clean, which was very well thought out, usually got pulled out of washes because no one...

    Crypto pay analyticsfor self serve

    Yes, but it will still combine bills and coins. The Dixmor will count them separately if you use the two pulse inputs separately. All you have to do to combine them is wire the pulse wires together.

    High Pressure Floats

    FWIW I use the 1" Walters. They last at least a couple years between rebuilds, sometimes much longer. I've never seen one fail catastrophically, except at car washes run by idiots who keep bending the rod until the float gets up under the valve and floats the wrong way. The 1/2" and 3/4"...
