It's like the movie groundhog day in the carwash business: Clean up a mess. Find something broke (because something is somewhere) and fix it. Then clean up another mess. Then fix something else. Then clean up again.Every day.

If either your weep or rinse is stuck on in any bay that could cause the backflow problem. There should be a thermostat on the wall that controls the weep system. It will be somewhere that allows a bulb going through an opening that is sensing outside air, or you may have a electronic...

I see you're in Houston. Has your weep running? If so, drain some product out of the tank and measure the tank depth. Turn on your weep and check to see if the tank level rises. Also make sure all your cold water rinse valves are closing. Some check valves don't close well under low pressure and...

I haven't diluted any chemical with water on a regular basis in my entire time in the business. Even when I first got in the business I was using the turtle wax hyperconcentrates that used double draw eductors and were thick and don't recall problems with them. It is sometimes hard to find...

No real issues with clogged tips here. I do keep my lids on and drill a small hole through the cap. No separation issues either.

Fatboy Green tip is always my wild ass first guess for HP functions when I don't know.

Ain't nobody got time for that! I draw everything straight out of their container.

I don't know enough about the various light on the supersaver PLC and what it's doing, but if I understand correctly you say both production and delivery is not working. Check the inline fuse for the SFR located in one of the fuseholders below the bay fuses. You say "contactors are kicking on...

I've always wondered how autecs with no top brush do on bugs and bird droppings. I briefly had a tunnel with a single mitter curtain and no top brush and those were a challenge.

CB80 do you have a preference between Siemens and Idec? Price, features, software, etc? I need to do a realtively simple task with a floyd bell speaker of taking some 24AC inputs and converting them to a combination of four 24VDC outputs to generate the deifferent voice audio messages.

Randy will be awake soon and is out medeco lock removal expert. With you being an established member I'm sure he'll be glad to help

IIRC It appears that the unitec control board gets it's power through a ribbon cable connected to the I/O board, so that is above my pay grade to figure out how to do that, but that might be a good idea. I know this thread makes these units look unreliable but the WSIIs have been very reliable...

I found another shorting problem a couple Months ago when a hopper went bad. It was a bit of a head scratchier because I would go out and try cash and it worked fine. Only when I overpaid and the coin dispenser tried to work would it short out. I found another similar problem that was solved by...

Birmingham, Al SS $3.00-4:00 (.75 per minute) Vac$2.00-5:00 (.40 per minute) Auto prices $8-$16

There's some talk of a pretty extreme cold snap in a couple weeks over the CONUS on my local radio .

I agree touch free cleaning is highly regional. 100 miles can make a difference in products and what works. Looking at the chemquest's plazma SDS that shinepro is using it appears to be a pretty complex product with quite a few ingredients. I'll give it a shot for the heck of it. ,It would...

I have limited experience to compare it to other machines but it's not too bad. Biggest hassle to me is that I have a five brush machine (not very common option I understand) and the two extra brushes mounted on the gantry make it difficult to access the top of the machine where the hoses come...

Can't help you on Montavue but I'm using lorex home and although far from perfect it's like $1500 for 16 bullet cameras and a DVR. I had a three year old lorex DVR crap out after warranty and I just bought a replacement for around $300. For SS/IBA I think it's adequate. I can get tags and can...

i think retail presoak costs in the $1/car range are considered in the acceptable range.

It will usually fault on a bike rack but not always. When the machine faults it sends me a text and I have to logon with my phone and reset it.
