Still just a matter of swapping two wires in the motor.

What does that mean?

Good FRP should resist paint adhering to it. Would it not make more sense to replace the FRP?

Do you work for IDX? All your posts promote their hardware.

I don't think they're made by Kleen-Rite. I can see right away what could be bad about them - the spot-free runs through the bay pump. There's a lot of weight hanging off the pump manifold, and the vibration will have those breaking off.

Some car washes come with a washdown key switch, but it means leaving the key in the switch while in use. You might have to wire the switch to activate pulses to the timer to give time instead.

It's a common problem. I've always had it the worst after the pits are cleaned and it's also warm/hot, worst in the slowest bay(s). My solution is to take a swimming pool chlorine pellet, wrap it with baling wire to make a cage, and hang it from the grate so it's about 6" below the water...

He's not asking about an entry system, he's just looking to fence in the wash to keep people out including homeless who can just walk around a security gate arm.

The default setting is the one in the brackets in the manual. The setting yours is on is what's causing your problem. It probably got changed accidentally.

Yeah, at 140 PSI you're going to have blown diaphragms and trouble with them not opening.

I found a penguin skeleton last night.

The only time I've seen one of those hang wide open was after someone bent the rod so much that when the tank ran low the float tried to go the wrong way under the valve and stuck against the back wall.

This "spend per stop" is going to vary wildly depending on many factors: type of payment accepted, general operational quality, average income of customer base, number of different functions, cost of chemicals and utilities, etc.

From the manual: 8 [SHOW BONUS TIME] Bonus time is added to time remaining and timer counts down normally. HIDE BONUS TIME Bonus time is added to time remaining. Timer display then changes to show “-- ON --“ until time expires. https://dixmor.com/TIMER%20PDF/LED6%20INSTR.pdf

I'm not hands-on familiar with the Kondor, but the Vector should do 80,000 before major repairs are needed if it's installed properly. Belanger has/had a program where they'd replace the entire carriage with a refurbished one for about $30k, but it costs about a third of that in parts to do it...

He has some valid information, but he finishes it up with an ignorant opinion. I wonder if the wash operator is ignorant too or if his chemical supplier is just putting whatever they have in stock in place. The Youtuber says the wash is using three different product for "triple foam," but we...

I know one guy who uses the Hudson valve. He's had them fail wide open more than once, and this is what gets cleaned out of the pump strainers because the tanks are open:

I agree, they both usually have to be bent a little to get the adjustment the way it says, but the old one is much easier to get at to bend. I've installed at least a dozen of these new-style switch, and so far I've had about six out of 18 defective right out of the package where the counts are...
