Anyone had any problems with these yet? I had an iba crack the plastic housing on one the other day when it was 25 degrees out. Just checking to see if it was an isolated incident, or is there an issue with these.

Go to www.plccenter.com. They have a surplus unit in stock that should work for $377. I would be sure that is the issue before replacing, though.

Love you web site moomooman!

Every glass building I have seen in my area looks terrible after just one year of being built. (I have seen 6) The maintenance issues are tough enough in the car wash biz; without having to deal with glass problems. Yes, it looks nice at first. These all had spot-free rinse down; or at least...

I agree with cfcw. If you changed the valve, there is a broken signal form the card to the solenoid. Check card first. If signal is live there, then you may have a wire break. Try to find a spare wire, or run a single strand to check it.

I have five Nu*Star machines. There is quite a few parts that you need to keep on hand. Usually these are unavailable at local shops. You need: -30 mm prox -18 mm prox (I keep 2 on hand) -One each of the different hyd valves used on machine -Hyd filters (1 high pressure, and 1 low...

New price was $439 for motor/gearbox. Previously they were $550. We are all trying to save money where we can right now, and I still think that $439 is high. But at least it went down. I took a gearbox to a local machine shop/ electric repair last year and they could not do anything with...

I have five Nu*Star soft touch machines. They do a good job, but have a lot of moving parts that require daily inspection. As well, they are hydraulic so you have that inevitable issue of a hose break over a vehicle. Overall, I really like them---obviously because I have kept buying them. A...

Actually, it was the motor that went on this one. The gearbox is still in good shape, so I will save it. I am going to take the motor to a local shop to see if they can rewind. Once I get an estimate. I will decided if it is worth it. Do you know why they wrap the motor with that canvass...

I just ordered an oscillator motor/gearbox. Guess what? The price actually went down $110! That is a big thumbs up to JC for bringing that down to a more realistic price.

I have a friction unit that washes 11 per hour. This is with the dryers outside the exit doors, so there is no hold up. I recently installed the same type iba with the dryers inside the bay. (this was due to exit area). This adds another 1.5 minutes to the process. Thus cutting 3 cars per...

Reds- trust me, you just can not fix stupid people. I have tried for years!

WW 1.0. It is on the red lion control. I forget what the exact descirption is on the screen. I will look tomorrow, and let you know.

I raised the "time out" time on mine. When it does not start, the customer usually willl break down and read the indicator lights. My "time out" is set for 3 minutes.

I gotta disagree with you guys not using hot water. Hot on the soap cycle helps get the car clean. Ever wash your hands in cold water ?

Just an fyi with the belt system. Way back when, I could not wait to get rid of the chain because it seized up over the Summers. (my fault for not keeping it properly lubricated.) Now I have had such a problem with belt slippage and breakage, I am switching back to the chain drive. It is...

HP soap and HP wax is hot. Rinse is cold.

Why can't you use recycled water to weep with? Even if you do not have an actual reclaim system, you should have the tanks to draw from with a small pump & tank system. I use straight reclaim for my hp weep. I have a fresh water line tee'd in with a NO solenoid, just in case the power goes out.

For Delaware/Maryland one work could cover it-----SUCKS! If it is not the economy, it is the unrelenting rain. If I can ever get out from these things, I am going to work at Wal*Mart. At least it will be a steady paycheck. There are plenty of dirty cars on the road; they simply are not...
