    Changing the time on Fragramatic Vac

    What is staying active? The Cryptopay? You might want to configure it so it only gives credits (coin pulses) for time on a swipe.

    Help removing coil from manifold

    It's the same with some GinSan equipment that uses the same solenoids. The coils just fail occasionally, and owners learn to keep spares. I think they're GC solenoids, although the coil is branded CFA. Some reps from GC came to us when I worked for a distributor, and we bought a bunch for RO...

    Help removing coil from manifold

    No wax on one bay on Coleman equipment is 99.9% the solenoid coil or a stuck plunger. The coils commonly fail.

    Degraded wash quality Touchless carwash

    It looks to me like there's either poor coverage from the presoak or the spray tips on one side aren't spraying properly or at all. Half the roof and trunk of the car is clean and half isn't.

    Help removing coil from manifold

    It's probably that the stem has an o-ring seal in the base nut and isn't permanently bonded as one piece, so the stem can turn once the nut breaks loose.

    Help removing coil from manifold

    As long as they aren't like the ones D&S uses - theirs are just a tube with the top as thin as the sides.

    Regular self-serve/Pay One Price hybrid

    Revisiting this since I was reminded of it - I think I could make it work by putting the entrance at what is now the rear and having two gated exits. Crime is still minimal but loiterers and the homeless are becoming a real problem.

    Have you done that, and it's safe to do so without cutting through?

    CIVIL PROTESTING CLOSE TO CAR WASH NEW EXPERIENCE???

    "Protest..." There was some minor looting here a couple days ago. Not protests, even though it may have started out that way, I don't know. People were saying that someone left a bunch of bricks out where the protests were planned.

    Purchasing A IBA Wash With Autec AES-46 Machine - Need Advice

    I don't know anything about Autec, but some makers have a program where they install a refurbished gantry for a decent price and take the old one to refurb and sell again. You might also look into a PM program, but I would urge you to learn the machine the best you can to make sure they're...

    Do you have any interest in working on it, possibly making improvements, or are you wanting to do a "clean sweep" to keep things reliable? Could you post some pictures of the equipment?

    If only that one Hydrominder doesn't draw, it may just need a valve kit or a diaphragm.
