    Tire shine machine in iba?

    I have the Belanger version designed for IBA in mine and love them. They get tons of use and very few issues. I have had a few people run into them, but have been able to make their insurance pay for the damage every single time so far.

    DO you use swivels on your guns, if so, which is best?

    I started using those same swivels based on a recommendation from here, but they have been nothing but trouble. I had two just break apart in the last week and have replaced a few due to leaking after a short time.

    s/s spray guns

    I used Adams guns for years and liked them, but then had issues getting them to weep a proper amount. I switched to the KR guns and they have been great. GUK600W Kleen-Rite Weep Gun with Blue Trigger-GUK600W

    SS bays weep adjustment

    I have one of those on hand and didn't see any direction stamped on it either, but noticed one hole was at the top while the other was at the bottom, so I wondered. I needed them shipped today, so I just changed my order to the F*F. They cost more for some reason and I also have to use a...

    SS bays weep adjustment

    So which way would flow enter on these? The male threaded side, or the female side? I would need the flow to enter the female side. KR told me direction doesn't matter, but I'll change the order to F*F if I need to before they ship today.

    For this valve: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-3139-14-m-x-f-metering-valve.aspx Does it matter what direction the water flows?

    Foamers or No Foamers for Foam Brush

    I've had good luck so far, 10 at one wash with no issues in 13 years and so far the 9 at my other wash (6 on TF) have been going strong and they are 13 years old as well.

    Foamers or No Foamers for Foam Brush

    The 3 foamers I have now I got when I gutted a wash. It was a Jim Coleman setup and they are about 6" long, dark grey and made out of a thick PVC. For the other 3 I'm making, I'm using brass nipples to copy what 2biz used in his setup. With foamers I can dial back the tip 1-2 sizes and get...

    Foamers or No Foamers for Foam Brush

    I have put foamers on 3 of my six ss bays at a test. The 3 with the foamers do foam up much better with less chemical. I can have the non foamer bays be shaving cream like with slightly more chemical, but then the bays with foamers would be too thick. I just recently upped my chemical to...

    Exit door occasionaly staying open

    Wires are all perfectly clean. Only time I've ever had them not respond was when there was not air, or this last time when the door stayed open and it shouldn't have. Seems like a signal was preventing it from closing. Maybe the photoeye is going bad and thinks something is in the way? If...

    SS bays weep adjustment

    Sounds like exactly what I need. Once I get my weep squared away, that's my next project.

    SS bays weep adjustment

    Good point on the strainer, I'll see what I can do. With 11 bays total, I'm sure a blow down system would pay for itself in no time. Any issues whatsoever with your system after you tweaked it?

    SS bays weep adjustment

    Thanks for clarifying. Where I want to install it, spillage is not a big deal and facing up would make it much easier. 2biz, I actually have 6 bays, so 18 things weeping. This is the first year like that though as last year I used winter concentrate for TF and had it set to about 20...

    SS bays weep adjustment

    Does make sense regarding cleaning them out. I'm just wondering if functionality wise they still do the same job facing up. All 6 of my vacs have them that way, so I hope so. I'll try to install it facing down if I have the room as it's going on the bottom of the pump stand. I already had a...

    Exit door occasionaly staying open

    A few hours ago I was at the wash and the exit door stayed open again. I tried closing it using the buttons in the bay, but they didn't do anything. Once I went into the ER and used the switch, it closed right away. Makes me wonder what could be going wrong as this is a new variable. Both...

    SS bays weep adjustment

    I wondered because they are facing up in all of my shampoo vacs. Maybe they are in wrong?

    SS bays weep adjustment

    For a strainer, I'm guessing you have this; https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-14879-12-inline-strainer-40-mesh-wviton-gasket.aspx Can this be oriented with the basket facing up? I just looked at my setup and I have everything planned out, but if this strainer needs to be face down like...
