You should be able to use any solenoid that's a proper fit.

The "guesstimate" of $3 is more accurate for San Antonio. A lot of washes are still giving around 45 seconds per coin, some are a full minute or even more.

Must be in San Antonio? Those counts don't mean a lot without knowing what each car spent. does it have bay timers that you can check counts on?

You could use it with the right pulleys, but that could be a problem. You can only go so small on the motor or the belt won't grip well enough. To use the motor and only change one pulley you'd need a 16" on the pump. You could change the pump (or just the crankcase) to a short stroke model...

It can if you're already running too weak on the mix and your water is really, really hard. It's most likely something else you listed though.

Someone tried to drill one of mine recently. They used a tiny bit and attempted to go just into the pins and didn't leave any visible damage, but the key would go in really tight and it wouldn't unlock. I had to drill it. Before that they tried to drill another with a slightly bigger bit, but...

The purple wire is for a mechanical counter. You won't hook that to anything. The "earth ground" doesn't connect to anything inside the timer. It's a waste of time to hook it to anything. It's probably just there because Coleman grounds everything.

Definitely order the Electroswitch brand. I would bet yours are Shallco which are crap and last about a year before they get too loose. The motor starter wires will be the ones jumpered to several terminals on the same stack. It's the 2x stack that is probably make-before-break, so if the...

This is true with switches from Kleen-Rite, but not all of them. They buy them on a blanket PO and specify a configuration.

You're right, I thought it was a timer that you set for minutes on and many more minutes off, which is how a lot of cheap systems work. You could use an adjustable on-delay timer through a relay that would give you an output to open the reject solenoid for the countdown.

Not true. Pressure affects flow through a fixed restriction. You might be pushing 1.2 GPM through a xx06 tip at 150 PSI, but not with a xx05 tip.

He's running single-phase motors. Perhaps you should read the first post.

You might want to stick with the 5 hp since it's single-phase. The RPM will vary from 1700 to 1780 across brands. It's not a problem.

I get motors from a local supply place. Kleen-Rite sells the motor I use for $1,187 that I get for $360.

https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-14581-procon-104e240f11ba-series-4-bolt-on-pump-240-gph-250-psi.aspx It's preset at 170 but it will run 250. I set mine to 275 and regulate it down to 250 with the bypass going back to the tank. For my service customers I set the pump to 250 and regulate it...

Some washes use the same pump for the bays and the automatic's spot free delivery.

The specs are all over the place, one says 362 psi, one says 232 psi. There might be one that can deliver 400...

I know what you mean, I hurt my back again on Monday, and I just gotta keep working.

You need a simple on/off timer...

Scotch Plaid would always announce a price increase as far ahead as they could and would send a new price list (and an apology letter) along with the last date you can place an order and get old prices. I understand their costs went up pretty quickly and somewhat unexpectedly, but several times...
