I just leave it on the bay floor, it takes 3 to 5 days to dry, then I shovel it into the dumpster.

I had a customer doubt that a single Flojet would handle foam brush flow in his 8 bay wash. It did, but the pump ran like there was no liquid supply to it.

If you want to dig them out yourself, the "rules" are that you must let it dry where any water can run off into the sewer, then the dry dirt can go into the dumpster and along to the landfill, and it's no longer considered hazardous waste. If it's still wet, you can't haul it without the proper...

It could very well be a bad pump. Doesn't matter that you changed it, new parts absolutely can be defective. The quickest test would be to swap two pumps that are in service and see if it moves with the pump. Either that or add an air shutoff solenoid to the pumps.

I've also seen a lot of these pumps in use, and they're usually the last thing that needs any work by a decade or more. My concern would be the solenoids and injectors. There's a wash near my home with new D&S equipment, and they have a ton of issues with solenoids and injectors. They're...

Start your own thread, list exactly what sort of "small car wash operation" you want to start, and "take the time" to read threads that focus on what you're wanting to do. Most like the info is already here, but people will jump in to answer questions if they aren't too vague.

I mow along the road in front of the wash when the grass gets so high it blocks its view from the street.

Is it pulsing like crazy all the time or does it pump once every few seconds or every few minutes? Does any yellow run in a bay? It wouldn't hurt to put a hose clamp or at least a zip-tie around the inlet hose over the barb to be sure it's not drawing in a tiny bit of air.

That makes no sense. The pump is dead-headed, which means the only time it pumps is when the solenoids on the outlet is open. In this case (in fact in every case I know of with a Flojet) the product supply to the pump should never be empty. A Flojet with air pressure and no supply will run...

I've done the same for 20 years. There's always a solution. Keltner timers and Specialty Equipment "diode boxes" were the main ones. There are people who are willing to learn how their equipment works so they can repair it themselves and there are those who are completely and hopelessly lost...

There is nothing to AOK equipment that you would have to get from AOK other than the stands or tanks. Every single part on it is available from Kleeb-Rite.

Yeah, the suction tube looks like there's no liquid in it.

I mix foam brush soap with water and once in a while bacteria or algae will grow in the barrel and clog the screen in the foot valve.

I think you have several problems going on. 1, why is the tube for yellow product not yellow? 2, is anything leaking in the bay, and is it yellow? 3, I notice the air is unhooked from the yellow pump, were you just working on it? 4, when the pumps run, do they pump at about the same pace...

I've never felt like I had to clean the bags unless something happened to really muck them up. I had a detailer vacuuming up a couple gallons of water with a 1/4 bottle of dish soap in it, which of course made a ton of foam that filled the bags, then the dirt would dry like concrete and stop...

Lift up on this to unhook it from the DIN rail: I doubt it would hurt anything to mount the contactor upside down, otherwise you'd have to extend the wires.

Scotch Plaid has a glass cleaner concentrate that dilutes 64:1 and works really well. https://57099e1b-dda4-41ad-a4ea-bb7c046fc1f6.filesusr.com/ugd/04c0b9_49275cdcd080462db29997fd2ef25777.pdf

That equipment looks AOK to me.
