    B/C Valve

    I am on my third one in 25 years, and they are cheap, so 8.3 years or whatever before failure. Its no big deal but I thought for the price they were a bargain, they were definitely purchased from a car wash supply I believe it was windtrax or kim supply < I think kleen-rite bought them out, and...

    Loud buzzing from NO weep solenoids.

    Here was the problem, all 3 check valves for the weep were bad, it must have been putting back pressure on the solenoids causing them to buzz like they were, they are fine now but this is one of the first things I checked, when the pumps were running on high pressure there was no back flow...

    Loud buzzing from NO weep solenoids.

    The PS, SF, TC are coming back at 22.8, 22.8, 23.4v, installed new micron impervitran 100va transformers in all bays in 2014 < the 24v output of the transformers are 25.7, 25.4, 26.2. I would imagine that there is some drop in voltage but what is acceptable?

    Using GS-27d, when the spot free is selected the NO weep solenoid buzzes really loud, does not do this on other LP functions, does it on all three bays.

    Advice on Booms for water, FB & Air Dryer

    More booms, more problems, there is always going to be tangling problems when you have more than one boom in the center of the bay, if you look how some washes stagger the booms it may give you an idea of what you are in for, there is no easy answer, you just have to try it, do it in one bay and...

    If you cut a notch in the discharge hose it would only stop the solution tank from back flowing into the 5 gallon pail of say wax, ps, tc or whatever. If the hydrominder failed to shut off and the check valve failed it would dilute the 5 gallon pail, am I right on this? Every time I have seen...
