    High Pressure stops then starts again...

    There is a separate breaker for the 24v. I was cleaning the bay on rinse when it just stopped, i looked up at the timer and is was still counting down, so I walked inside the ER to look at the panel for that bay, I really didn't know what to do in a hurry so I went back out to the bay and was...

    High Pressure stops then starts again...

    The timer is a Gin-San GS-401 in the equipment room, out in the bay is a GS-31 display.

    High Pressure stops then starts again...

    I have a bay that when you are using the High Pressure it will just turn off, but the display in the bay keeps counting down, it came back on about 30 seconds later, it can’t be the 24v or the timer would have quit. I do have a d.o.m 1.5 sec delay on the high pressure. Do ya think it is...

    Metal halide light issue

    Invest in a tester such as this http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/1YBT7 that will check microfarads, the first thing I do is check the capacitor this is usually the case if the light won't come on, or is turning off and on. The transformers usually last a long time. If the light is not...

    Moving FB from wall to ceiling

    I think they are easier for the customer to use as they can go all the way around the car if they are used the way they are intended and that is one at a time. Like mep said when you get 2 people using them at the same time they will bang together, get twisted up. Overall I think they are a...

    Type of Regulator for LP Liquid

    You could set it up that way, never though about doing it like that since i have always used regulators. I thought ARO's had to have 80psi for them to work right. Are you using this in a ss or automatic? The watts regulator you speak of, is the the mini?

    Type of Regulator for LP Liquid

    Using ARO 666053-333 1/2" diapragm pump. I know the odd's of 7 bays using the tire cleaner all at the same time are not very high, but would like to know if using a 1/4" mini regulator would provide enough gpm. This pump is around 11gpm. 666053-3eb at Kleen-Rite. By the way... I have been...

    Type of Regulator for LP Liquid

    What type and size regulator should be used for the liquid side of a Low Pressure Foaming Tire Cleaner? I have been using Generant ½” for years, but have been having problems with them lately and want to try something different. Will the small Mini regulators with the ¼ “ ports provide...

    Best Type of Solenoid for Weep System.

    In one of my locations I have been using the dema 413p, and like mep said it would last about 1 year. Not worth the hassle when you are talking about freeze-ups. Also it is mounted vertically and found out today that this is not a great orientation for a piston valve. Anyway I ordered the...

    Best Type of Solenoid for Weep System.

    What type of NO solenoids are best suited for a weep system in a SS? Your experience with Dema, Asco, etc., diaphragm or piston. Also I am using a Dixmor Weep Mizer.

    Hubble Metal Halide Lights...

    Yes it was the capacitor. I replaced all the lights in all bays this year with new ones, I was prepping all the lights before they were installed and tied off all the high power lines leaving only the 120v & common wires for hookup. Thanks for your replies. :D

    Hubble Metal Halide Lights...

    I called the # on the ballast which was Advance. The problem again the capacitor. They did say they have a 2 year warranty from the manufactured date of the ballast which is stamped on the ballast, the capacitor is not there's, Hubble must have used Advance ballast and someone else's capacitor.

    Hubble Metal Halide Lights...

    I received a credit from KR for a bad capacitor I had over the summer, it took them about 2 month's to get the credit. I will try what you suggested, I didn't know about the 2 year warranty from the ballast mfg. Thanks:D

    Quarter to Token change

    Do what you think is best for your business. Don't let anyone persuade you. After almost 30 years in this business, I think all washes should be tokens only.

    Hubble Metal Halide Lights...

    I had a problem in a different bay about 2 months ago. The light wouldn't come on at all and it was the capacitor. I ordered a capacitor and ballast from KR, it was 69.99 and I don't think they are a direct replacement from Hubble, I believe they are universal so I think you may have to change...

    Hubble Metal Halide Lights...

    The whole fixture is only 6 months old with glass lens. I tried changing the bulb but it keeps going off and on, also it is not very bright when it is on.

    Hubble Metal Halide Lights...

    What is going on when a Hubble MH 175w Light keeps coming on then turning back off again, is this the bulb or the ballast? They are the the probe start and not the newer pulse start. :D
