I have been buying all my Cat Pump parts lately from KleenRite as I found them to have the best prices.

I accept everything from 1-20. I should probably change that to accept only 1-10. I need to check the model of the Hamilton's I have, I think they only hold about $350-400.

The hoppers are not that large, they are hamilton single hoppers. My other wash has Rowe double hoppers that fit much more. Plus the location is easy to access so alot of people do take change and not use the wash. The changers are up front right off of the road so a lot of people just pull...

So far that sounds like my best bet. I will look into adding a separate box which would also give me the space to add cc later if I chose to. Which box did you guys go with? What was the cost?

I don't currently have room for bill acceptors, I would have to change the coin box in order to add them. Is a certain timer required in order to be able to accept bills? If I could re-use most of what I have, it would make it cheaper. I didn't factor in the security aspect, bill acceptors...

One of my car washes is in a mostly hispanic/low income area and it has both bill acceptors and credit card acceptance. Bill usage is probably about 35% while credit cards are barely used in the self serve and vacuums. It has an old swipenclean system which is hard to use, so that probably...

Etowah Valley for coin boxes or credit cards? Not familiar with them... I thought about putting in credit cards first, but I don't think that I have room for them in my current small coin boxes. Plus I'm not really sold on adding cc acceptance just yet.

In one of my washes the coin boxes currently only accept quarters. I was thinking about changing them so that all bays would be able to accept dollars as well. On busy days I can barely keep my two changers filled and I figured that it would be more convenient for customers if they could use...

Wow, I definitely understand what you are talking about. I haven't tried regulators, but I have switched parts and components right and left. I went to needle valves, went away from them and so on. I just installed the weepmizer this year and it has been the worst I've had, so it can't be a...

I was fine this morning even with the freezing temps, but I put in my kerosene heater for a couple of hours to warm everything up before I opened up the bay. Unfortunately I had my cousin who works in heating an air try to fix it a few days ago and now the fan proved light won't come on. I'm...

Just an update, last night it went down to 7 degrees with a windshield of -6 and this morning nothing was frozen. As a disclaimer though, at 23 degrees I turned on my manual override so that I wasn't using the weepmizer and I also changed over to hot water. That is what I have done over the...

I have tried resetting it multiple times with no luck. Don't know if I froze up last nigh, haven't checked yet but it did go down to 6 degrees and windshield -7. I put the machine out of order so that no one would use it, figured that would help. Turned out a good thing as I saw someone try...

thermostat is in bay, heater is Ultimate Products heater. The "fan proved" light would stay on and you could hear the fan. It would try to light 3 times then lock out. I would do the reset and wait 5 minutes and it would do the same, 3 tries and then lockout. A couple of times the flame...

The heater in my IBA that has a Ryko softgloss does not work. The doors are shut and they are always shut while a wash is running, so I am wondering if I have to worry about freezing with the heat not working? It is supposed to go down to 12 degrees tonight with a wind shield of 0.

I don't have any water hammer, but I do appreciate the thought you are putting into it! Any suggestions help, you never know which one might do the trick. I thawed out the two bays that were frozen and just left the lines hanging without reattaching anything to the hose that comes from the ER...

I am using 4006 nozzles, weepmizer is factory except that it is on 30 sec. cycles instead of 1 minute. I always purge the lines, but one thing I find is that there is alot of rust/corrosion buildup on the hose ends. I usually take a screwdriver and scrape off what I can, but there is not way...

Randy sent me a message checking up on my freezing issues, so I figured that I would just post here so that everyone would know that status. I haven't posted lately because I was busy most of last week thawing out pipes. I had two bays that would consistently freeze, and now unfortunately it...

I just wanted to update and say that my doors are now working fine. I thought about lying and saying it was something complicated, but in all honesty it was completely my fault and the simplest thing ever. It was just turned off as F0 was not flashing. That is the simplest and most common...

It does. Very helpful post. Thank you.

When it comes to fittings, is stainless steel ok?
