    Laser 4000 prox sensors

    The three 30mm prox sensors on the passenger side of the bridge for the front, middle and rear flags---do these need to be shielded or unshielded? I can not find it in the manual. And two units I bought have some of each.

    Saving a few $$ with Zoro Tools

    I have bought 3 rinnai water heaters with the 30% off flash sale.(as well as countless other items--motors, procon pumps, plumbing supplies) That brings it to $851 with free shipping. My plumbing/heating guy said the lowest he gets them is $1100. Have had awesome experiences with Zoro. I...

    Procon inferior quality new pumps

    Get that old pump back and send it to EDCO Distributing for a rebuild. All those pumps can be rebuilt for around 1/2 of new one. And it will give you a spare.

    Armor All Product Pricing & Bottle shape

    I vend the 2-pack wipes for $2. Sell quite a few, actually. I do not over analyze vending items. I do try new things; if they sell great, if not, I do not re-order. I have moved a lot of my $1 items to $2. Only $1 items left are the AA sponges, little trees and the cheap unwrapped blue...

    Razor Wash LP1 Pass Issue

    Did you takeoff the check valve and check it? Sometime the spring gets dislodged, or even falls apart. This will keep full flow from going through. I learned this the hard way---I replaced the solenoid and the pump. Ended up being stupid check valve.

    How to Handle This Situation?

    I would let her repair shop do it. Once you have authorized the repair at the facility they chose, you are out of the equation. If there are any issues with their chosen body shop, then the customer can take care of them. I do not think saving maybe $500 is worth the hassle. It may only...

    Combos

    No matter how many signs you put up, most customers will get confused and choose the wrong wash. And you will get the ole "your brushes did not work" story. I would steer clear, imo. It is just too confusing. This business is hard enough without adding that hassle.

    Goldline losing memory

    Thanks, Randy. I actually just found a thread about this from last year where this same topic was discussed. Not sure why I could not find it first.

    Goldline losing memory

    Anyone had issues with a goldline losing its memory when it is hot out? Had this issue last year on super hot mornings, now again this year. EIC was just serviced 3 months ago with new modem and new battery. And the bitch is, it defaults to $1, $2, and $3 washes.

    Hydraulic Motor Shortage?

    You can also use the 101-1011. Same motor, but with sae #10 o-ring fittings instead of straight 1/2" npt threads. KR always has one or the other. I keep extra fittings for both just in case there is an issue. But I stock an extra motor at each location.

    Touchless Automatic Numbers

    Funny story regarding this-- at one location I had one friction automatic. In February 2007, it did just under 3000 washes. At that point I decided to put in a second friction wash in my rv bay. It opened December 2007. Not once, until this past Winter, did I wash more than that 3000 number...

    Customer damage claim and their insurance

    I would not give them ANY OF YOUR INSURANCE INFO. I have had a similar request before on three occassions. I never gave anyone my info. They sent letter after letter; which I trashed. It eventually went away. Until they have a constable or sheriff serve you with court papers, I would ignore...

    A LW 4000 Mystery....

    Probably. Are the rollers worn; causing a little play? Sounds like it is reading the front/home flag when at the middle. I had this once, similar to you, when tires were fresh on air. It was reading the 1/8 inch of thread on one of the large threaded bolt/nut things. The pumped up tire was...
