    I had this happen a couple years back and ended up being a bad node board.

    Kleenrite Alternative

    Its best if you have your own broker to get the best rate otherwise UPS or whomever they ship with will do the brokering for you and it will cost you a lot more money. I usually try and only put a big order once or twice a year to make it affordable.

    Kleenrite Alternative

    Kleenrite at the moment. Anybody that is selling in Canada is likely buying from them and marking it up significantly before you see it.

    Vacuum safety / Is this an industry wide concern?

    If you are truly worried about the gap (which I would be), grab some wire mesh and build yourself a guard that fits around the vacuum canister and rests on the adapter and put some pop rivets or screws in it to hold it in place. That would be a lot easier then telling everyone else on here how...

    360 Plus lifespan?

    Better question. With the 360 being made primarily from aluminium and corrosion not being a real problem, when would you decide that you need to replace it? I had a Laser 4000 prior to the 360 and it was rotting to the ground and festoon cables were a royal pain so it was obvious when it needed...

    Polar Freeze Guard system

    The flow meter you have looks similar to the one I've been using. We have a methanol/water mixture we inject and during the summer time the stainless ball in the meter sticks to the bottom of the meter and prevents flow. Usually replace the meter and good to go again but have had the odd pump...

    Removing Blower Wheel from Taperlock Bushing Tricks

    By the look of the outer housing in your second picture it doesn't look like the rest of the unit has a long service life left. I had one of similar age and the rot was terrible and was dislodging chunks of rust from the outer housing onto a few cars before I noticed. Replaced that cumbersome...

    Replacment for Burkert Solenoid valve on Spot Free System

    If I remember right on my spot free system I had a burkert valve problem similar to yours and I called my maintenance parts supplier and they didn't have the exact valve so they sent me an asco. I looked a little further into it and I think they listed my burkert valve as a two way valve so I...

    flo jet pump wont stop

    With your high quality upside video it's tough to see anything. Lol. Start at the solenoid valves and see if it's leaking past one of them. Simple way is to remove each line individually after the solenoid and see if anything comes out. It's probably debris or worn valve causing your problem...

    Car wash Water bill

    As others have said or asked why are you posting a December bill when you have just had the wash for a couple of weeks? In our municipality the water bill comes out quarterly. Did you have the water meter read when you took over or are you paying part of the previous owners bill?

    Contemplating going Cashless?

    Is it possible that the day your change machine ran out was because you were busy? I run a wash with similar ratio's to you in terms of credit to cash and I don't currently accept debit but I do know there are lots of people who don't have or can't manage a credit card. I can't imagine not ever...

    Jumping into the carwash game.

    What part of the country are you in? I'm only asking based on expected weather conditions. Kevin

    XRS Door error

    In this day and age never "ASSUME" anything. Brand new stuff built with cheap offshore parts offer no level confidence in this day and age!

    XRS Door error

    Have you replaced the micro switches that control the open and close limits? I see you have replaced most everything else.

    Laserwash 4000 procon pump replacement

    I never had much luck with the Sta-Rite pump if you try to run too hot of water through it. Kevin

    Kleen-Rite for Canada

    Transchem here in Ontario is a source. There are probably many more. Only problem is they all likely buy from Kleen-Rite, import it into Canada and mark it up so you end up paying much more then just getting it direct. I personally buy from Kleen-Rite and have a broker that clears it coming into...

    Used and loaded Laserwash 4000 should i?

    I'm not opposed to putting in a used machine but I would look for something a little newer. There are lots of 6-7 year old 360's and others out there that you would be much happier with. Kevin

    310 manifold washout

    I went down this road a while back and opted to just buy new replacement heads. By the time you send them out, pay shipping both ways, get them sleeved and and then put in new seals and possibly valves the cost gets up there. Kevin

    Older WeepMizer acting up

    I can tell you from the cold climate area that I'm in that there is a significant amount of heat loss between your equipment room wall and the bay. The shared wall gets very little ice buildup compared to the outside one's. This would indicate that you are likely picking up some of that heat. If...

    Air pressure alert

    What type of security/alarm system are you running at your wash? I have an alarm system that monitors door contacts, motion detection, low water, high water, low temperature, low air, boiler down and loss of electricity and is tied into my internet with an APP called Connect To Go. Previously to...
