    D & S i5000 presoak problem

    Is the thermal overload for the 25HP motor the one that trips?

    D & S i5000 presoak problem

    Do a load test of the motor. If it's in spec, the thermal overload is probably bad. It does not break the power when manually engaged, it only opens the circuit of the control voltage to the coil.

    Looking for a car wash rescue guy to come and assess what is needed

    FWIW I've been in a similar situation where I ended up just making the changes that I knew would make a difference and let the results speak for themselves.

    Old School IDX Controls - Part 1

    This might be a real problem as the last I checked IDX had none and had no idea when they would have more.

    Can you post some pictures of the plumbing to the pump?

    Desperate Times

    I had one of those hasps on a truck toolbox. Someone was able to use the lock as a lever to snap off the hasp. I thought it would be much harder to break since the hasp turns.

    Opinion on Cryptopay for IBA

    Cryptopay doesn't have to dial out to batch daily transactions. My high speed internet is $50 with a phone line. AT&T. The ones in the display. It's a bit faster, but dialup makes your fees a lot cheaper. If you can find a merchant processor with 1.2% and no transaction fees like Costco...

    Single vending pull rod lockup

    The screws you have in it are probably too long. When you pull the knob, the bar behind it needs to move forward.

    Installed new Cat 530 pump. Start up question.

    It sounds like a bad regulator. The Paraplate uses a set of conical washers stacked alternately so it acts as a spring. If it's been leaking, they rust and no longer work to control the pressure. The sign is rust coming from the weep hole in the side.

    They won't use it. In the bay and on the same timer is by far the best way to do it.

    Opinion on Cryptopay for IBA

    You won't because the Cryptopay is a slide swiper, the Goldline is an insert card. They usually screw up the swiper trying to get their quarters out with a pocket knife.

    Installed new Cat 530 pump. Start up question.

    Paraplate lasts a long time for me. You'll need a BR5-2. The Adams 7075 and 7085 aren't bad for the price, but I have a lot more issues with them. IMO the SMC 555 series is the best value-to-reliability.

    I might change my name to “David”

    I hope you washed it first.

    Opinion on Cryptopay for IBA

    If your Goldline is on dialup processing, you're fully in compliance with PCI. Just dispute the charge and refuse to pay it. Compliance is voluntary anyway. There used to be a shim to mount between the door and the card reader so coins would roll back out. Someone told me they cut out the...

    Installed new Cat 530 pump. Start up question.

    You probably have the regulator cranked to max. With the trigger tied off, adjust it down until you see the gauge drop below 1500 since that's where you want it, then crank it back up until it just reaches that mark.

    IDX X10 Xeptor problem

    Try clearing and relearning the token. If that doesn't help, it may need to be repaired.

    Want to Lease my car washes

    It would kill their credit, but they can just refuse to pay their note. The bank will do just about anything to avoid repo'ing a property that's costing so much money.

    Saving a few $$ with Zoro Tools

    I'm surprised there isn't a promo code on their site with Labor Day coming up.

    Looking for a car wash rescue guy to come and assess what is needed

    IMO customers prefer it that way because they don't have to pace themselves through a stationary dryer, but it does cost you in washes per hour that you can sell.
