You have to use the correct spring and adjust it. Or just take it out and plug it, what is going to back up into the foam brush lines and cause a problem? Did you make sure the air pressure to the Flojets is not over 80 PSI?

Does the hose swing all the way close to the wall without having to be pulled there? I always tilt the boom spindle so it wants to swing on its own toward the wall a little to the rear corner. I think we discussed this before, it's a pain to do this with Coleman booms but it can be done. I...

Not the wash pump, the hydraulic pump unit.

I noticed someone in a bay for at least 20 minutes not washing, the rest were in use and one was waiting, so I go to see what's going on. The guy is standing in his open door with the vanity mirror turned facing him, SHAVING with an electric trimmer. I just told him to move out of the bay...

Check the solenoid first, make sure it's getting power. I'm not very familiar with those machines, it may not even have a solenoid. Does the agitator normally come on with the hydraulic pump and run the whole time it's on during a wash? You said you turned the agitator valve on, is that a...

IIRC there's a single hydraulic drive motor that runs them, and there should be a solenoid that makes them run.

The bottom one is a Walters, which is what I like. I get two or three years out of a 1" valve, and I never have a catastrophic failure, just a slow overfill when they go bad.

I don't think there are separate adjustments for each bay on the solenoids, so you have to set it with the pressure regulators. You will have to figure out what looks best for you by playing with the pressures. I like to have a cow pie constantly falling off the brush to the floor.

The biggest impact on my wash is darkness.

Either turn off all the air or disconnect the air line at the Flojet. It would be fine to just remove the relief valve and plug the fitting. It's foam brush, there's usually nothing to back up that will ever need to be relieved.

Those relief valves sometimes just fail. I assume it didn't freeze last night? It may have debris in it that you can clean out, but it'll keep failing and leaking until you replace it...

6000K will shift to the blue side. 5000K will be whitest, 4100 will be a little warmer/yellow.

If an air regulator is installed backwards it will relieve pressure as it tries to regulate it. Could you have installed the new one wrong?

They are for sure, I bought a 60W one from Sam's to mount on a side wall and and it's way brighter than I expected. FWIW I put two 60W LED ceiling fixtures per bay and it's almost as bright as the 320W metal halide Scottsdales were when they were new. The one at the rear of the bay is a...

I had the same problem with a Belanger Vector. Once the carriage gearbox got worn, the pressure would push the machine down the rails a bit when it was supposed to be stopped, and for some brilliant reason the prox isn't active when the carriage isn't supposed to be moving so it doesn't "know"...

Since you started this thread, it's definitely best that you posted an update in it.

It's Goodyear Neptune 3000 hose, definitely for water.

It's actually a Chinese made machine. It appears to be all steel. It may look sleek, but it's a design from over 40 years ago.

That's actually more likely what's happening than what I said. I don't think it would happen on mine because the solenoids are so small, but if OP's solenoids are large orifice they would pass debris right through.

Do you have any real experience in this industry? This is a place for people to ask advice from professionals, not so much to get it from people who have read the literature, or who like to ride through car washes with their mom to post videos on YouTube.
