I have small bays that have a single 250 Watt metal halide in each bay. I was thinking about adding another fixture on the other side, but I don't want to add metal halide so if I add another light I would have to replace the metal halide that is in there now to whatever I go with so that they...

If you call them they will email you a template. That is what I did and it made installation much easier.

I built my own pc and am using a Geovision dvr card for the cameras. It is a hybrid card. For the ethernet switch, I know that it is a Cisco switch but not sure of the model. I can get more details the next time I'm at the wash. I have 20 cameras hooked up and and have no issues with remote...

I have a hybrid system that has ip cameras for the outdoor areas and just regular cameras for the bays and smaller areas. Works great. You can zoom in when playing back the ip cameras and see license plates.

Those yellow knobs have two adjustable screws and should be able to fit just about any shaft.

Make sure to look for a repair kit first. Much cheaper than replacing the whole solenoid. I was able to repair a couple of mine.

That is true, but only if all bays are weeping. For only one bay with a problem, the rinse solenoid is the most likely culprit.

I use 30's for the heavier used chemicals and 15's for the tri-foams and such.

The red wire is not needed if you did not use it before. They told me that they now have two power wires for more flexibility. One is dc, other is ac. On mine I just left the red wire unhooked and taped it to the side.

I have not, but will do it soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

I finally spent some time on the machine today and was able to get everything working. It turned out the solenoid coils were all fine. All three of the solenoids were stuck open. I took each one apart and cleaned it using water, a file and a screwdriver. Not the best way, but it was all I...

I had no idea that a magnet would reset it, thanks for that information. Not being able to reset it while there is time remaining if it was turned on my pulse is the biggest PITA.

Not yet. I was in a rush and left right after getting the fragrance to come out. I suspect it might be the solenoids and will test them, but figured that I would ask here first just in case I should be checking something else.

Earl, I started with your check list and after getting to # 3 I put my finger on the tip of the gun and it did start to bubble at the other end. After that fragrance now comes out instead of just air. The problem I have now is that no matter what scent is selected, it always defaults to only...

That's interesting as my shampoo/vacs do much better than the fragrance/vacs. I didn't think there was much demand for fragrance/vacs and was considering putting in only the shampoo/vacs unless I decided to go with a machine that had all 3. I will look into Fragmatics. Thanks.

Possibly, but I was pretty sure that on my other frag/vac the compressor only turns on when a scent is selected. I will double check to make sure. Any thoughts on a turbo vac? I have regular 2 motor vacs now, but see a few shampoo/vacs that also offer turbo vacs and wasn't sure if people...

Thanks for the suggestions Earl, I will try them out. One thing I wanted to mention was that it has a snc and after pushing 4 to select fragrance, it kicks on right away before a particular scent is selected. Is that normal, or is it supposed to stay off until one of the 3 scent buttons are...

One of my washes has 7 Jim Coleman units. 3 regular vacs, 2 sham/vac and 2 frag/vac. They haven't been hard to maintain so far though I do have a frag/vac that only puts out air and so far I haven't been able to figure out the problem. I have only had this wash for a year, so I don't know how...

I will look into those. Would be nice to have 3/1. What's the best place to buy them from?

I currently have 2 simple Adams vacs at one of my washes and wanted to add at least one but maybe two combo shampoo/vacs and was looking for opinions on which way to go? What would you buy if you had the chance to start fresh? I want something that is reliable and very user friendly. Thanks.
