I was going to say the same. I've had access to an electric unit and they're effortless to use, but they're very expensive ($2000 or so) and a hand-pump hydraulic is very easy, just slow.

I can't see how the purge should cause it since a shuttle jam error should only come up while the machine is running. I'd recommend taking a look at the "picket fence" that the prox reads, make sure the prox gap is correct and that the gap is the same at home and jogged at least halfway over...

FWIW I make foamers out of PVC pipe and caps glued on with scrubbers stuffed inside. I drill and tap 1/4" pipe thread holes right into the caps, so the whole thing costs about $7.

It's unlikely but possible. You can confirm if it's electrical or not easily enough by using a voltmeter. I recently had a really oddball problem at a wash that took me some time to figure out. Bay 2 had soap on rinse. I checked everything I could think of, even closed every valve to the...

What size hoses are you making? I have a hand swager, but I only use it for repairing or making 3/8" hoses that run overhead. It's not worth the time and effort to make bay hoses, plus the fittings are so expensive it's cheaper to just order premade from Kleen-Rite.

I'm using Wells Fargo. I can take quarters in a bag of $500 and I only pay $4 per bag for deposit. Credit unions are starting to charge a fee now. My fiancee banks at one, the tellers are completely separated off and you only interact with them via monitors and cameras/speakers. There's a...

What machine are you running? Is all your service done by a distributor? Is that cost all repairs, or is there a preventive maintenance involved, and if so what percentage of that 20k a year the PM? Is that 2500 per month cars per bay or total? Are you looking to increase it or do you think...

That thing looks like it could foam molten aluminum.

I used to work for a distributor who sold them - there were never any damage claims other than a broken antenna or two per year. I still know a couple people running the Freestyler who say the same thing. One has the new material and says it's supposed to be even better.

I've done it with IDX pushbutton switches, they have one output that you program for high pressure functions but we needed another output that triggered off of two selections for a common air solenoid. I used the cheapest SPDT Omron relay, soldered the wires right to the terminals and attached...

The Freestyler does an excellent wash. They're also safer to the cars than most frictions.

No advantage or disadvantage, it's all about necessity. Are you using all three stacks now? Is there any position (other than 10, 20, and 30) that has a wire on all three screws?

The stainless fitting is a little stronger, might be the answer to your problem since they're breaking the guns by dropping them. I used to run a wash where customers didn't abuse stuff, there I used Giant 21295 guns because they're more comfortable to use even though the plastic is brittle and...

FWIW I did what I feel is a more accurate test, since in my experience many people let the timer run out when paying cash. Saw the usual thing tonight, guy starts timer with coins, wets car, then goes to foam brush and cleans entire car, meanwhile time has been out by at least five minutes...

The stainless discharge fitting isn't much stronger than brass. Make sure the boom swings freely and ends up as close to the wall as possible. It's most likely people leaving or pulling through the bays hooking the hose with their mirror or bumper. I don't have more than a couple wands broken...

IBA = in bay automatic, express or EE (express exterior) = particular operation of a tunnel, tunnel = car wash where your car moves through stationary equipment. None has anything to do with length, a tunnel can be anywhere from 35 to a typical 120 feet (or 255 feet for the world's longest)...

Nu Finish.

This is the only thing I could find on Kleen-Rite's site: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-25580-fan-tip-for-nozzle-for-air-shammee.aspx

The "goo off" may have melted the microfiber cloth and it left residue. Try a very fine polish.

I don't think I did, pretty sure the devices just take the IP address you enter. I know I did something in the modem/router, probably just named the devices.
