I ended up working on it for 5 hours today... Still the same issue. Changed the body, diaphragm and stem, so basically everything. Not sure what else it could be, but I'm trying not to lose my mind... Turning off the water to the valve stops the issue, so that is supposed to indicate an issue...

Good to hear from you 2biz:) I was actually looking at my drain yesterday and figured that I could do as you mentioned. I think what threw me off is the large line going from my RO to the drain at my other wash. What size line is typically for the RO reject? Also, do you have all 3 teed...

Luckily at this wash vandalism is at a minimum. I still want everything to be secure though as you never know when they will hit you. Regarding the meter boxes, do I just get the boxes and vaults, mount them on the wall and then frame around them? Not sure if I'm looking at it wrong. Also...

I'll check the body again and make sure. Water does come out of the arm when the underbody is used, but it has been doing that for a few months now. I know I need to repair, the Lexair valve, but honestly I forgot about it and was never sure what repair kit to get.

The big holding tank on my OHD2001 keeps overflowing and I can't figure out what's causing it. Water is just seeping in to the tank slowly, so it's not the float valve sticking on. Common sense says it's the 1 1/4" solenoid that feeds it water, but I've replaced the diaphragm, the stem and...

I not worried about criminal charges, just want to know if he has insurance. Police report is now ready for pickup. Would that have that information on it? I'm not sure, but I think in the past I picked one up and it said that they didn't have insurance, so it looks like they checked. I did...

Any particular reason to go with that type? I currently have those in my JC vacs, but have just the square pull out type for my coin boxes at another wash.

That's what I thought, but I don't have a toilet. That would have been easy. I could run a hose across the floor, but figured that when it drains, the water is pretty powerful so I can't just lay it by the drain. The drain is small and I don't want to block the whole drain with a hose inside...

Luckily I wasn't down more than a couple hours. I called the police right away and had the officer look at the damage and gave him the video. It's been a week and I haven't heard back yet, but they told me to call if I haven't heard anything in two weeks. I was able to bend the main parts...

After looking at my bays again, I think I could concrete in some columns and use a drop safe. Any advice regarding dimensions etc.? I really have no idea where to start. If the meter box is 8" deep, then I figure I would have it bolted on the wall for safety, but just build around it. How...

I installed a new hot water heater last year and it has the vents accessible. Is that what you are talking about? I'm not sure I'm understanding hot to connect to it exactly and where the water would go? At least draining to a bay isn't an issue if I have to go that route. Did you put the...

What are they claiming when the file a chargeback? That they didn't get the product? If that is the case, you need to get one of the guaranteed delivery machines. I haven't had a complaint in 2 years after getting 4-5 a week before.

Great ideas, but unfortunately I don't have automatics as this site, attic space, nor much space in the ER. Currently I don't even use a rinse tank, it is just city pressure direct to my pumps. In the future whatever I equipment I use will likely have a rinse tank, but then the overflow has to...

Good input, I was thinking maybe a foot from the end might be best for both weather/crook reasons. What are some possible uses for cat6 cable in the future if I were to run it?

I am trying to add spot free to my wash and one issue I worry about is the drain for the reject water. All I have in my ER is one small drain right in the middle of ER in the floor. It is old and not PVC, so tapping into it to add another would be very hard, if even possible. Would it be fine...

I am working on moving my coin boxes from towards the middle of the bay to the end. Should I go all the way to the end of the bay wall, or stay a foot or so away from the end? Is there any reason for one over the other? I see some washes have it all the way at the end, but wonder if being...

I also got the name off of the credit card. The data shows the last 4 numbers, but also the name. I use Unitec Portal units. With Cryptopay you can also see the name. This is the 2nd time that I got a name from a credit card for someone that caused damage. I also have a picture of his face...

Honestly I don't know if he even realizes that he damaged the machine. It is obvious that he ran into it, but the machine still washed his car and did a good job lol so maybe he thinks that nothing happened. The way the metal was bent though, unless his tires did it then he has to have...

I have his name and car etc, but haven't been able to find a phone number for him. Figured the detectives would give it to me, but that might take a couple of weeks. In the mean time I am having Ryko come out and give me a quote to fix everything and also to make sure there wasn't additional...

I had someone run into my my Ryko Foam Brite IBA a couple of days ago. They drove in way crooked and right into the left side of the machine damaging some metal and photo eyes on the bottom. The machine actually started and during the wash they moved again and damaged the track on one side. I...
