    SecureCoin Model CP990U Coin Acceptor Issue

    The new acceptors I purchased a month or so ago had a real nice instruction booklet tucked in the bottom of the box. The overall operation of these units is the same as in the past with the exception of a ‘Power Saving’ mode at which time the LEDs will flash. Problem solved!

    SecureCoin Model CP990U Coin Acceptor Issue

    The Secure Coin acceptors seem to have gone through several iterations over the years. Originally they were blue plastic junk, then they became iCoin on metal frames, and now they're back to SecureCoin with what looks to be much better red plastic bodies. The electronics I believe have...

    Current Petit Owners/Operators

    The Kerrick floats that were in our first two Petits were garbage. The seals on the plungers had what looked like defects from the mold and would seep. They didn't last long. After replacing several times our distributor gave us a Walters valve that lasted about a week. I ended up installing...

    PreSoak streaking

    Soonermajic, what is your air pressure set at? We run 4WD Hi boosted with Triad-Hi as our second step and its plenty clingy. Any chance you're running it through your triple foam pods for the second pass? If so, maybe that needs adjusted. Try running it through the arms instead of the pods...

    Current Petit Owners/Operators

    A 2” line should flow over 100gpm. The two pumps run for about 30 seconds, so between the two pumps you’re talking about 35 gallons and between the two bays you’re talking about 70 gallons. The fill valves are high flow also. Also off the top of my head we’re using around 50 gallons total per...

    Current Petit Owners/Operators

    We have two double wash bay sites and both have the stacked pump stands. We have zero issues with the water supply keeping up. Both sites have 2" incoming water lines.

    Petit LED lights show

    Did you just go to Home Depot and pick up some guys to install that Petit? Sounds like they set it up on the legs, wired it and left. Hopefully you haven’t paid them the last 10%…get their asses back there have them work out the bugs and set it up to your liking.

    New Petit install & having HELL!! Need some help

    Did your distributor not check the operation of the paystation/automatic at install? He should have checked that each wash selection actually activated the wash, that you could stack a wash and that it would hold it until the bay was ready and that the Automatic could close the paystation when...

    New Petit install & having HELL!! Need some help

    What exactly is the $250 Hamilton Upgrade? Have you disconnected the Goldline from the automatic and tested it manually? Select a wash, pay for the wash, stack a wash...machine should say "wash in use", manually cycle inhibit relay, does Goldline release stacked wash? Are you sure you...

    Facebook Pages for Car Washes?

    That’s true but I really hate the reviews on Google. It seems we’ve had a string of ridiculously stupid comments which you can’t really do anything about. Supposedly our touchless wash has caused swirl marks, paint chips, and scratches. Believe it or not we also ‘ruined wheels and a custom...

    Tankless Water Heater Descaler

    Those that have experience with descaling tankless water heaters is there a particular brand of Descaler that you prefer? Any tips or tricks? These things aren’t cheap I figure it time to take care of them. I just ordered a small electric pump to circulate the fluid.

    New chemistry that I almost passed on - then WOW

    Well said Greg. I’m always willing to try something new from a supplier when they say they’ve got an improved product. The hardest part is, like you said, subjective results. Unless you try something and the results simply smack you in the face and it is noticeably superior, it’s very hard to...

    Best way to use RO Reject water?

    My RO production settings are fine and we already have a 300 gallon tank feeding a centrifugal pump that will max out at 60psi. The system worked excellent with our previous autos as the reject was blended with the water feeding the boiler. My old autos used more hot water than the Petits...

    Best way to use RO Reject water?

    We removed two Laserwash 4000's and reloaded the wash with Petit I-360's. When we had the 4000's we were using 100% of our reject water because of the way the HP pump tanks were plumbed. Currently our reject water is being mixed back in with the feed to our hot water boiler. Hot water is only...

    Air Lift XRS Door Operator Issue

    Just an update. The relay Airlift sent me seems to have worked and fixed the issue. Haven't had the door fail to close since installing it early last week.

    Air Lift XRS Door Operator Issue

    Rudy, we have door eyes. They just aren’t connected directly to the operator. The eyes are connected to our automatic and the automatic’s door control logic would send a signal to the door operator. If the automatics eyes were blocked the door would stop closing and then open, not just stop...

    Air Lift XRS Door Operator Issue

    I talked to a tech at Airlift, very helpful. They are aware of a very random issue with some of the relays in some of the control units. He’s sending me two relays that have a diode in them that solves the issue. I’ll report back if they don’t.

    Air Lift XRS Door Operator Issue

    We’re running a poly carbonate door, not a vinyl roll up. The door will come down about 2’ or one panel. It’s 100% not photoeye related as we’re only using the entrance eyes of our automatic which are not connected to the XRS operator. I tried calling Airlift several times this morning during...
