I'm almost 100% certain you just need to install a check valve above the bay. I had to do that to all of my bays to stop dripping. It is just siphoning water from the tank and you need to install the check valve so that it introduces air and breaks the flow after being used.

I do plan on upgrading the wire once I figure out how to remove the vacs covering 2 of the junction boxes. Thanks.

Just ordered a can from Amazon. Will give her a shot! Would be awesome if it works. Thanks.

I'll probably just tie the 2 vacs together for now as I try to troubleshoot. Stupid junction boxes on the way to this vac are under other vacs and I can't get the bolts loose to lift those vacs and access the junction box. I didn't have issues pulling wire in the past and there were broken...

I'm sure it got wet, that's what happened a few years ago when I changed out all the lines. I was able to pull through the same conduit, I'm sure there is a break somewhere letting water in. I knew 10 gauge would be ok, unfortunately I meant to say it's 12 gauge wire running to the vacs. Think...

I haven't had any issues running my vacs on 20 amp breakers and 10 gauge wire, but I had one vac that seems to have the hot wire burned up under ground and was considering tying it into the nearby vac and running them off of a 30 amp breaker until I can get the wires replaced. I did run 2 Adams...

Does anyone know how many amps a typical 2 motor vac draws at start up and while running? Thanks.

I have New Car, Pina Colada and Black Ice in all of mine now. Heard great things about Fabreeze, might add that. Black Ice #1 for sure.

Of course after I ordered 2 regulators I decided to mess with it and had some stupid idea that maybe my turning the regulator back and forth it might work. Well after turning it a bunch of times to the left, it started working again lol. Not sure if something changed, or if someone had messed...

At my other wash I have the same setup and regulator has been kicking for 15 years now, so held up pretty well. This one isn't much newer, but did last around 10. We'll see how long the replacement lasts. Not sure about your questions, I'm curious as well.

It looks the exact same except that the top outlet is 1/4" on the Coleman version. As long as there is no harm in using a reducer, I don't see why it won't work. Thanks.

Thanks for confirming. The regulator being bad makes the most sense. Do you by chance know if there is a replacement I can buy from Kleen-Rite that would fit and screw in like the current one? I remember searching there before and not finding one, but it's been a while. I would hate to have...

There is a regulator, but turning it is not having any effect on the flow rate or PSI like it should. It use to, and I had set it at 190 PSI, but now it has no effect and it's at a constant 195. There is also a flush valve solenoid. This is on a Jim Coleman Spot Free system. I'm not sure...

I was at the wash this morning and caught my spot free tank being filled. My product was at 2, but reject was at 0! What could cause that to happen? Psi is still at 185, and looking at the drain, there is only a trickle of reject water. Not sure where to start looking. Thanks.

Solenoid does click. I've had the button go out several times over the years, so that's the first thing I look for. First time I've had to mess with a solenoid in 5 years. I'm pretty sure it's just debris.

Thanks for all the information. I did order one that was the same price but had the chromed cover. I will try to loosen it using the methods you guys described before switching it out. It still seems to work other than a constant slow leak when the hose is below tank level, so hopefully no...

Thanks for the information. I took the whole panel off so that I could access it and tried grabbing the stem and twisting it with pliers, but was afraid to break it and stopped. I figured if I buy another, I could swap it then try to fix this one and keep it as a spare. There are two notches...

I need to buy a replacement solenoid for a JC Shampoo vac. I took a picture and was wondering if this model from KR would work: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-9197-gc-solenoid-14-stainless-steel-24v-532-orifice.aspx If not, what model do I need? Would like to make sure it has the screw...

From what I understand, the 10k cap is on personal homes only.

When I first bought my wash, the bottom package did not include the dryer. Call after call about how it didn't dry their car and something was wrong. Took forever to explain and they weren't' happy. I just raised the price a $1 and included it, no more complaints. Every other wash in town...
