    Trigger Gun

    Most likely yes, we bought non-weep mosmatic guns several years ago by accident and smoked the seals in one of our CAT 5CP2150W's within a day.

    WashTech error code -can I fix it or call tech?

    Also I forgot to mention that you can check to make sure a limiter switch is working by placing something metallic under the sensor and seeing if the led light on the sensor lights up. If the sensor doesn't light up when something metal is under it, it is either a bad sensor, or bad wire. This...

    WashTech error code -can I fix it or call tech?

    @gomerpyle I would start by cleaning all of your limiter switches, make sure there is no build up or anything blocking them (soda cans stuck under the gantry etc.) . Also they are distance sensitive, I believe you are shooting for about the thickness of a nickel between the limiter switch and...

    Repair/ replace solenoid for spot free

    We have a 4500 GPD PurClean RO system and one of the solenoids has been leaking and running water directly down the drain. I cant find any information online about this specific solenoid (we purchased this RO system used with no history in 2018). Does anybody know if there is a repair kit or...

    AirShamee Boom Mount Location?

    We have both HP and FB mounted to a beam over the top of our bays, then Shamee on the left (drivers side wall), and Tricolor on the right (passenger side). No trouble with tangling since the booms are all angled to swing back to the wall. Not sure how it would work if our HP and FB were mounted...

    Trouble calling IDX

    I tried contacting IDX recently and the phones weren't working either, so I sent an email to their contact email that was listed... no response and it has been at least 3 weeks. Now their entire website is down also as mentioned by Greg. Both of my bays and all of my vacuums are running IDX...

    Car wash consultants

    Whether you're building from scratch or remodeling a wash, I would recommend starting by reaching out to the equipment distributors that would serve your area. This is highly important because if something goes drastically wrong they are your lifeline. You'll need to weigh your options based on...

    Diskin Air Shammee II

    We have the 3 phase system in both out SS bays. Hated the original gun and blade attachments (poor quality/air leaks/awkward), so recently bought the air-logic nozzles and they have enough power that I can blow off the passenger side of the windshield from the drivers side. I have no experience...

    Remote Access

    @kelley3CarWashes It might be worth a try changing the Edge settings over to "Internet Explorer" mode. I own two rental car agencies and our old software will only run in this configuration. https://csuf-erp.screenstepslive.com/m/70023/l/1650548-enabling-internet-explorer-mode-in-microsoft-edge

    CryptoPay Set Up/ Worldpay

    @TMoliver Well, I guess the day that a customer walks up to me with a mastercard without a stripe trying to figure out how to pay, is the day that I jump on to kleenrite and buy tap for each and every one of my vacuums. Side note, their heading seems kind of misleading, at least to me...

    Light it up!

    I agree completely. We also have 1 speaker in each self serve. We play rock during the day and classical at night because it tends to repel the unwanted people. Tweakers apparently don't like listening to classical while smoking their fentanyl pills.

    Weird Vacuum trouble

    We had to buy the security cover kits for our J.E. Adams super vacs, because the tweakers kept breaking my rear doors off or mangling them to get to the "treasures" inside. Also had to put 2 chains and 4 padlocks over our commercial dumpsters because we'd show up and have the entire dumpster...

    High pressure hose failure in energy chain

    Interesting! Never would have thought of that. Not sure how much adjustment I have left on my Jobe float, but will have to see if I can get another couple inches.

    @Sound_Boi That's more than enough proof for me! Thanks for the pics, adding that to my cart right now!

    High pressure hose failure in energy chain

    @Sound_Boi I saw that stuff and thought about giving it a try, but was worried that it might be too rigid? Have you personally had it running back and forth in an energy chain? Also thank you for the reply!

    High pressure hose failure in energy chain

    We have a Mark VII Softwash XT. We have been having to replace our high pressure hose that runs from my equipment room, through my energy chain, and ties in to the top of my gantry about twice per year because of holes in the hose. It is getting expensive. When it first started it was around...

    Laserwash 4000 tires spinning

    @jweber Our Mark VII friction machine came with x's cut into the top rail. They are continuous overlapping x's about an 1/8" deep.

    Considering Card Only Self Serve Car Wash

    I will never give up cash and coin until I'm forced to. BUT.... our coin would always plug our banks coin counter, or fill the coin collection bags underneath it, and would require them to come over to service it, making a 10 minute trip to the bank many times over an hour. We bought a manual...
