I would hate to have to pull another hose through trough were they were installed. Maybe in a open area they would work.

Scan coin 303 is a good one. Portable and sorts coins. It is not as good as Klopp on wet coins.

When I had the blue white pumps and they did not pump it was almost always that one or both both check valves were not working. I would take the check valves out and gut them and use 2 john guest push lock check valves. One in bottom and one on top in the flow direction. Seem to hold up mush...

I use the Jet scan Cummons and it is a real work horse. The local banks here only have the single pocket while mine is the dual pocket. Glory is used by some banks here but most use the cummins.

Antiseize is a great thing.

I order replacement yellow knobs for the rotary switch, they use 2 set screws with allen keys.

If you clean your face plates with acid and don't get it removed properly they will seize prematurly. You might also try a little graphite in them from time to time.

I have been using custom made stainless steel garbage can enclosures for about 30 years. They are 24 inches square by 36 inches tall and will hold a big Brute rubbermade can. I lock the lid down so the homeless can't get in . They still basically look brand new. Last one had built was around...

I add methenol in the winter so they don't freeze. Prep buckets get used much less in the winter.

I put exit end doors on a few of my bays and it cuts the wind and makes it much nicer to wash in. I used to have some bays with doors on both ends but at night they attracted too many folks pulling in and pulling the doors down for shady business.

My advise if you are not going to use a SS bay then I would go use a touchless auto wash. First I would get some Griots 3 in one ceramic finish and apply it to the car once per year. I do this on my cars and the cars always come clean. I mention Griots because I watch a guy on the internet who...

Randys brother does this so I look forward to him chiming in about what has worked for them.

Lorex Technology (news@lorex.com)

When I had a friction machine I found repeated problems with POntiac Grand Prix of the late 90s and their plastic front mirrors.

As I understand it the single pump could also cut down on the number of passes for other services you could program.

APW did you get the single or dual pump model? LOcal tech that installs them says the dual pump model is the way to go.

The last 2 cat 530 pumps I sent them a few years back I never heard a word from them and never got them back and could never contact them.

Lorex cameras have held up fpr me over 7 years with no problem.
