    Water keeps coming out from the wand

    This might be the kit. I'd recommend calling Dultmeier since they can tell you more accurately. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-61243-gc-valves-rebuild-kit-for-s201gf02l7fg69-valves.aspx If that is the right kit, I'd just replace the solenoid with a Dema 473P or 474P which is about half the...

    Purchasing another wash

    My business partner just bought a wash with one, I don't even know the model, it just says Mark VII on it. I haven't even gotten all seven SS bays running yet, it was so badly neglected.

    Anyone try using vandal-resistant locking trash cans?

    That works if you can catch them and get the police to show up. They scatter like roaches when they see me, and the cops take two hours to come.

    Anyone try using vandal-resistant locking trash cans?

    I know a guy who has something like these by the bays. It's not locking, but could probably be made so pretty easily. They're bolted down. https://www.acemart.com/sanitation/waste/trash-cans/impact-8750-45-gal-indoor-outdoor-brown-waste-container/WHI8750

    I'm not familiar with them yet, but I'm about to be.

    Anyone try using vandal-resistant locking trash cans?

    I had to lock my cans down after a homeless guy started lifting them out and dumping the trash out as he sorted through it. Mine are cans in barrels cemented into the vac islands, so the receptacles you linked wouldn't work. I also don't feel like they'd stop anyone from reachin in to dig the...

    Water Softener Fiberglass Tank Replacement

    If you have the same heads on twin alternating tanks, regardless of the timer, they cannot be run individually, again because the lower piston stops water flow while the other tank is in service. There may be a setting in the electronic timer to run it as a single tank system, but nothing will...

    Water Softener Fiberglass Tank Replacement

    Not with the controls he has. There are no "settings" that allow this, and the lower pistons don't allow any water bypass while that side is regenerating.

    Rug Beater by Dralco

    Sounds like Dralco, car wash stuff has turned into a side project for them. FWIW, between the much lower cost of an air machine over the rug beater and the lack of maintenance, and if you're looking for a profit center, I'd definitely go with an air machine. If you treat it right, the rug...

    Need recommendations for a LOUD white noise machine.

    Since "white noise" is analogous to "white light" which is all the colors of the spectrum, the former term is perfectly PC.

    Water keeps coming out from the wand

    I don't think you'll find a problem with the rinse solenoids. If this was a rinse solenoid sticking open or hung open with debris, it wouldn't stop running. I can't think of anything specific to look for except the weep check valves on the other bays, but it would take a lot of coincidences to...

    Needing to replace old RYKO Voyager

    Neither one of you have any right to complain about him. You've both acted the same way, and you've dragged in two people who have been banned.

    Washworld Razor HP hose

    It probably doesn't even have stainless fittings. It's most likely double-braided hose. It could cost about $150 from Kleen-Rite.

    Meter decal input

    I did this about 15 years ago. I scanned actual bills - I had to scan them into a really old photo editing program, remove the serial numbers and posterize the hell out of the image before Adobe wouldn't reject it as an image of currency. I've done it with Cryptopay. It probably voids the...

    Rug Beater by Dralco

    A Cryptopay reader will connect to any system that runs on low voltage coin pulses. It has a pair of wires that you can connect inline with a coin acceptor, then you would set up the reader to send enough pulses to start the unit.

    Need recommendations for a LOUD white noise machine.

    I had a window AC unit that was loud as hell, took me a month to get used to sleeping with it on. Once the weather cooled off it took me another month to get used to sleeping with it off.

    Vegas Show!

    It's not going to be basic repair or troubleshooting, no. There is plenty of helpful info about things like how to market your wash or finance a new one. A lot of vendors do have "car wash college," but not at the shows. They're there to make sales.
