    Coin acceptor

    I've had a lot of problems with Slugbuster II and III. It might be my customers blasting the coins in as hard as they can, but with Slugbuster III I end up with dollar coins and tokens that aren't mine getting past the gate. Slugbuster II can't distinguish between a quarter and a dollar coin...

    Novice here... Hydrominder 511 / Tips

    Your chemicals should have a recommended dilution. You can't just say "Tire/Engine" and have someone hand you a tip. You will probably need more than gray, green, and yellow. No tip = 4/1 Gray tip = 5/1 Black tip = 6/1 Beige (very light brown) tip = 8/1 Red tip = 17/1 White tip = 23/1 Blue...

    Kleen-Rite has it in orange, but it's a different brand and I don't know if it's any good. Hydra-Flex has the Synflex 100R7.

    Supply lines

    I like Synflex, it's expensive but has a lot of advantages over steel-braided hose. It doesn't break down over time, it makes the pressure at the gun seem smoother, in an emergency you can splice it with a barb and clamps (I've actually had repairs like that last for years). Downsides is...

    Pump Stand Question

    You probably won't have enough wires to add functions. Rather than running wires to the pump stand and then out to the new systems, I recommend running them to a box and terminating them there, then you can run a single cable to each system. Less work and cost that way.

    Adding Nayax to Vacs, count which way?

    It depends. I'm changing out my vacs so they're all either fragrance vac or shampoo vac, and I will most likely run them count-down since you can't run count-up and have a different time for the fragrance or shampoo. If I put a CC reader on a plain vac I'd run count-up.

    Supersaver low pressure questions

    Most of the ones I've serviced don't have them. I don't find them to be necessary unless the equipment room is on one end of a lot of bays.

    Saw from quest?

    https://questcarcare.com/wp-content/uploads/SAW-tech.pdf It says dilute anywhere from one part water to 30, so obviously you have to adjust it to your needs.

    Low pressure check valves

    Those are made by Rego Cryoflow, that's a really good check valve.

    Low pressure check valves

    Are you using the CV-100 or the CV-100T? The latter has a Teflon seal which may not seat 100% on low pressure until it's had some high pressure behind it for a few minutes. The hard seal needs to deform to match the seat. It could be a quality control issue, once I had to take apart 50 JE...

    Supersaver low pressure questions

    Put a zip tie tight around the foot valve barb in case it's leaking by there. The presoak feeds in the same way as the soap and the wax, and the solenoid on the outlet of the pump reduces the pressure when presoak is selected. Even if the same soap is used for high pressure and presoak, the...

    Customer service

    This has been the same sort of "customer service" I've been getting from car wash distributors lately. I called two different companies this past Friday and asked for information, one for a part number and one for a wiring diagram. Both said they'd email it right over. I didn't get either one...

    Is a 4 bay SS new build still viable?

    Because you said " I am 51 and looking for a more relaxing job than my current mobile oil change business." Operating a car wash is not relaxing. It's not particularly hard work, unless you dig your pits by hand, and if you have a rural car wash they will be filling up fast. Customers can be...
