Can you post a picture of the vault an the locking mechanism?

Have you cleaned your foam generator?

Scott, Arcadian Nu wall and Quest Aluminate are the HF based ones I'm familiar with. Call around to local wholesale detail supply or truck wash places and inquire about aluminum brightener. It's about $15/gallon in 5's locally, and much cheaper by the drum but it takes forever to use it...

D&S is a long term SS/IBA company and as far as I know has no tunnel operations, making them an unlikely buyout target. My guess is this is probably a big positive for wash card customers, giving what I perceive to be the financial stability of one of the equipment companies that survived the...

Check to ensure your power supply is indeed at 5VDC with a meter. My problems started when the voltage was sagging into the low 4 volt range. When I disconnected some of the display LEDs the voltage crept up to nearly 5VDC and the problems went away. Power comes to the display from the mulit...

Canopy lights, wall packs? Tons of inexpensive LEDs out there now- but reliability is all over the place and I know myself and if one goes out it might be months before it is fixed, so I'd rather pay a premium for reliability. I bought mostly Cree canopy lights-pricey are $350 each but almost...

Sselby what model pump is used for production? It's likely to be close enough to what you needed for delivery that you could likely use the same pump. Also do you need single phase or three phase?

I guess I should be more specific. I have always dispensed quarters in the changers, but had multi coin acceptors in the bays. I do dispense vacuum tokens at the autos so I use multi coin acceptors in the vacuums. But by taking quarters only in the bays saves time sorting out the 2-3 dollar...

I've had good luck with both. Everything comes full circle. I'm going back to quarters only in the bays. Not using tokens and get just enough dollar coins to be a pain in the butt.

The check valve is likely intended as backup to the bay manifold check valve to keep high pressure from backing up the line to the Flojet and popping the diaphragm. In your system it would only be useful on the tire cleaner since foam brush and conditioner are not connected to the high pressure...

For some reason the car wash industry treats RO like some sort of black magic and charge premium pricees for what can be found in the wholesale water treatment industry for a fraction of the price. With the exception of the logic it's a a mix of generic parts and is relatively simple. I think...

I'm beginning to think they are the smart ones.

Speaking of rock-I bought these with a blue top for a wash I built in 2001. I drove by the other day and they're still there...

Guess I need to figure out how to download or copy my coinless customer database. If this system crashes I have no idea if anyone is there to fix it. That's a shame, It's a slick interface that was easy to install and needs just a little tweaking to be great. Some communication from coinless...

I tried bleach washing my house with a foam cannon and ran a couple of tests to figure out what percentage of bleach I could get out of it. I think it was putting about 6 ounces of bleach in a gallon of water, so roughly 20:1. But this was a 120 volt low volume pressure washer. Haven't tested...

I still like my wizards. I'll put it's cleaning ability up against any unit. But factory support is not good so I can't recommend one unless you have a good local distributor.

The Supco M500 is a one trick pony and I rarely use it, but it’s nice to verify a bad motor when replacing for a customer. It uses a simple system of red/yellow/green lights to show condition of the windings. With a standard meter, running amps should be essentially the same on each leg. Lots...

show us your pump setup when you have time!

I use this once in a blue moon and it's been useful at times. However, moisture inside a motor will call it to fail. The motor can dry out and start working again. Moisture is not usually an issue on a pump stand but more of an issue with a motor on an IBA...

Several mfgs make alkaline booster. I think blue coral was one of the first to do this with 380. Quest makes Ad Hi, Warsaw makes hot shot. Contents vary but usually mainly a blend of sodium and potassium hydroxide. It has to be diluted while mixing with water in a dual eductor hydrominder or...
