Now KR tells me to buy a seal kit because seal warranty is 30 60 days. Pump has been in service 14 days!

Where the silver part meets the blue part when it's running.

Classic example today. Every car is white ... coming in and it's 30 degrees. Running line as fast as possible. Salt is easy to clean and no frozen on dirt issues.

So I contact KR about Warranty and they tell me to check for dirt? How? Where?

Could be lots of things. If the hose is frozen the back pressure may prevent the compressor from running.

As the cars come in with snow on them and I slowed the conveyor to allow some melt time I was thinking whether those in warmer climates appreciate how much simpler it is to not have to account for conditions that vary by 100 degrees or more.

HAd a new 5 CP Cat leak at the head after 3 weeks. Anyone else having issues?

With Aluminum or Stainless Equipment a good cleaning will make it look nearly new. Some new cloth New color may be needed. If a mitter is not working, depending on make, model, age, a motor or gearbox can bring it back to life. That said I have had an old Sherman or 2 that needed replacement...

Defies reason. The piled up tokens could be used with no further monetary outlay.

I see you have grasped the concept I was trying to convey. You can view it as a straight up "Loss" or you can view it as a cost of doing business, as part of the overall picture. No different than losing a Vac Nozzle, foam brush or whatever. At the end of the day it's the totality of...

Yes and no. Are you really "Selling Tokens". I know the walk off value is an added value. But what you are really selling is a means to access your service. I have changers that transforn paper into coins that can be used elsewhere. So that is different than a token only useable at my...

I am not a token user but it would seem you would lose money on the walk off but it would still have a value of greter than $1.00 on the re use. You sell it for a dollar but how many times do you re sell the same token before it walks off? I f you re sell it 10 time s an d it walks off on...

Once I made the mistake of deleting the swivel hose connection with screen. Ended up getting debris in diaphragms. First check screen. I found easiest way to get it out is remove 3/8" fitting swivel fitting is attached to, then use a pen to push the whole thing out. Ruined many trying to dig...

Sometimes I cam thrifty and let the same guy who ties on the bag also count or time. Of course I always find a used grocery bag in the trash to use. The difference between cheap and thrifty is that thrifty is what I do, cheap is what you do. (Generic "you" not directed to RJR)

And you spent no time on line looking for a gizmo, no time on line ordering, no $ spent, no looking for a gizmo. You Luddite.

What would you use for a timing mark? What would be the speed of the strobe? 120 or 12 volt? How to connect 12 V? Run wires etc.? Heck, I just tie a plastic grocery bag to the brush and have one guy count while another times.

1. Check hydrominder inlet screen for debris which may reduce inflow. Check flow before it enters hydrominder. 2. Swap educator with another one that works and see if problem persists. 3. Swap entire Hydrominder with another and see if problem persists.

Always fun to see someone come in when it's -3 and the car has been running for 5 minutes or less and the water flash freezes on the car. Then you need to run the line slow or put hot water on so the windshield ice will clear and they can see to exit.

I will dissagre with some of the above. While speed affects quality, the type of dirt odes as well. Cooked on summer stuff. bird poop and tree sap is harder to get off than Salt. For summer stuff, increasing dwell time seems to trump increasing chemical strength. Summer stuff needs more dwell...

Been there done that with powders and mixers. PITA.
