    Lamb Ametek 115334 - 2 Stage 1 Speed

    That's what I use. It's a standard size, same as the Kleen-Rite VMK19. They're both about 1/8" taller than the cheap KR motors from 10 years ago, but the bracket will stretch to fit it. Some of mine had the screw strip out of the top of the tank so I drilled the hole out to 1/4" and secured a...

    Air Dryer Question

    I stopped at a remodeled car wash last night. They wanted all the goodies possible and added "Bug Off." They didn't bother adding another function, they just split tire cleaner off to another selection and called it Bug Off. With all the money they spent on everything else, I feel like they...

    Lamb Ametek 115334 - 2 Stage 1 Speed

    I use the 492. I'll do a load test today and see. You won't ever see "full load" unless the service door is open. All my breakers are 20 amp, all my motors are Domel 492, and I've never had a breaker trip.

    Lamb Ametek 115334 - 2 Stage 1 Speed

    They may be 60% more expensive but they've so far lasted five times longer, well worth it. I know they rust out in yours so you won't be better off.

    Air Dryer Question

    I don't see how it could cause a negative impact since it should just increase your revenue, but if you don't have a lot of bay idle time maybe you could focus on other revenue-generating things that won't affect the bays. I'm amazed at how much my shampoo-vac is making - I almost didn't fix it...

    cat pump 623 help

    What is the pressure running when this happens? The max pressure of a 623 is only 1200 PSI. Does it run fine with the trigger pulled but it bogs down with it released? That would indicate a bad regulator. A 623 needs to run slow, so there's usually a very small pulley on the motor. If the...

    Where can I find this container?

    I have some square 20 gallon ones with lids, they came from US Plastics. They're 12 x 12 x maybe 30" tall.

    Yet another bill changer query

    Using Kleen-Rite pricing: $475 for controller $100 for harness $575 for hopper Guessing $100 for hopper stand bracket $75 for Etowah Valley Mars to Hamilton adaptor Misc hardware for hopper modification Don't need the power box, just the filter ($30) Easily under $1400 per unit.

    Hard water rinse?

    It actually knocks the suds down easier when it's hard. My RO is so clean that I once got a complaint there was soap in it because it looked like it was sudsing on the paint.

    Yet another bill changer query

    If you gave me the 2800 I'd separate the stainless from the steel, recycle the cabinet, and throw the rest in the dumpster. I'm working with someone now who leased a wash with two BC1400s and only considered putting a Hamilton hopper and controller in it because his lease won't allow him to...

    Yet another bill changer query

    That would certainly be easier. Wouldn't hurt to have the mason reinforce the wall - I've seen the aftermath of a changer yanked out quite a few times.

    Yet another bill changer query

    Right, and the bill acceptor can stay where it is, you'd just need to make a shelf for the hopper to sit on where the dispenser and hoppers are now and make or modify the chute to direct the quarters to the payout cup.

    Yet another bill changer query

    I don't know how hard it would be to get the hopper to line up, but I've measured and there's room inside for a Hamilton HSH-Q hopper. If your changer's face still looks good you could add a Hamilton hopper, controller, acceptor adapter and harness and leave the rest alone.

    IDK MA-800

    What timer are you going from/to? There's already a kit to put a Dixmor LED9 inside an IDX BTT case, but I'm going to put a Dixmor LED6S in place of a LTT and I'll have to convert it to pushbutton. It won't work with the toggle switches of a Fragramatics fragrance machine.

    Wash Paste too thick

    You usually don't apply wax thick. There's no reason to since you're cleaning with the wax process as much as you're applying protection. See if more of the wax will remove the paste that won't come off, and work in small sections.

    IDK MA-800

    That's about how long they were taking to fix mine, at least the ones they bothered to send back. I was told they couldn't get some of the components to repair the MA-800s anymore, might be why so many of mine were mysteriously unrepairable at just a couple years old. Someone I know did an...
