On my shampoo vacs the only hose issues I've had are where the hose breaks right before the brush head. There is a guard there, but keeps slipping down.

do you have to get the new hose assembly from JC or are there cheaper alternatives? I need a couple soon.

I plan on calling in the morning. So far the only trouble I have had with the replacement swipers is that today I noticed one swiper that I put in last week is missing the 3rd waterfall light. It goes 1,2 then 4 and skips the 3rd led.

I've had 6 swipers installed for about 8 months now and the only problems I've had were that the green light on the button would not be lit and only the top light of the waterfall would work. The units still seemed to function, but without the lights. I have had 4 replaced under warranty and...

Anyone have experience/thoughts/opinions on the Belangar Tire Shine machine for the in bay automatic? I have been considering adding one to one of my automatic bays and can't decide if it is something worth doing. For anyone that has one, it is used much? Is it reliable and does a good job...

I've already put in two Portal TI units. So far they are really great. Only washed a few cars due to this insane weather, but feedback on them has been good and I like them.

While I have had a few complainers, it is rarely busy to the point that bucket washing bothers me, so I let the regulars take their time and then when it is busy I tell people to put money in the bay. Most understand and don't complain, I don't think it is a big deal to let them bucket wash...

Not sure I agree with that. I have no problem with regulars bucket washing during slow times, and it is reasonable to expect them to not do it when there are people waiting or we are busy. I never say anything most days, but when all bays are full or people are in line, I politely tell them...

Just spoke to JC and it is very easy. You just rename the .mdb in the database folder to .mdb.old and then rename the .rep file to .mdp. It then creates a new .rep file when it batches at night. Works great and was simple.

I probably should have mentioned this, but I tried that with every relevant file that I could think of with no luck. I must be in the wrong folder, but not sure where else to check.

JC just accesses my swipe n clean remotely and does the fix that way, so they are not using any special software. I remember them telling me that they are just deleting a file then the software re-creates it when starting, but I can't figure out which file.

I get the message that my database is locked whenever I try to run my swipe n clean software. I have had this happen before and with a call to JC, they were able to login and fix it. He explained to me how to fix it last time, but I was driving and completely forgot. This unit uses the access...

I have been using the same guns at my other wash for years with no regular flow issues. Rarely I will have a gun that will not weep more than 12 oz. per minute no matter the setting of the needle valve, but replacing it with a new gun or putting in a repair kit always fixes the issues and...

I just spent a few hours at the wash and wanted to type up an update before I totally lose my mind for the night... I started out by cleaning the screen on the regulator. It wasn't dirty, so I knew that wasn't an issue. I then proceeded with my project to run the weep water off a line before...

I will try that and see. In regards to the problem bay, it is likely that the check valve is the culprit. All the check valves for the weep are the same, but maybe this one has an issue and sticks or something. I will try replacing it today as an experiment.

I used to have both high and low pressure wax. I got rid of the low pressure wax and replaced it with air dry. I only have high pressure wax now and I'm guessing that the rinse solenoids have to be energizing in order for the wax to be high pressure. My pressure gauge says that it is running...

Here is a copy of the spec sheet for the regulator. http://media.wattswater.com/ES-U5B.pdf I guess there is a screen in there that is removable. Is it possible that the screen is dirty and restricting water flow even more than the regulator itself is? I get perfect flow for the hp pumps, so...

Here is a picture of the regulator up close. Being a JC Super Saver setup, the wax is drawn from the mixing tanks the same as the pre-soak, tire cleaner and hp soap. What I need to decide is if I should remove the regulator, or maybe just tee off right before the regulator and run a line to the...

That's the way I see it too. It goes through the pump head and right through the pump head and past the regulator to the line that goes to the bays. I'll probably just try bypassing the regulator and measuring the weep to see if it makes a difference. I really need to increase the flow. Last...

Here are some pics. The polytube going into the check valve is at the bottom.
