I wasn't asking that, I was trying to clarify if you were stating the obvious that you wouldn't stand a chance unarmed against three guys with bats or something else. I did find a couple sleeping in their car with the engine running in a bay one morning and they didn't budge when I knocked on...

It's not like that in Texas. You can defend your property or your safety with deadly force, and with a bucket of money and someone intentionally circling behind me I did not feel safe. About the only thing I cannot do is follow someone off the property and shoot them.

What size fuse are you using? They originally had a 15 amp which is really too big, but if that's what you're using and it's still blowing, you should probably change the motor or at least swap it with another system. You might want to take your phone number down or format it with a mix of...

I don't put a check valve anywhere on the spot free system between the bay check valve and the tank so if the bay check valve fails it backs up into the tank but doesn't cause any harm to the pump or tubing.

Do you mean if you were unarmed? I pulled mine on someone for the first time last night, was pulling money from vacuums and he went from the street around behind me to the next vac island and was about to start digging through the trash, so I turned around to ask him to leave. Before I could...

Look for a bad check valve. Typically you have at least two at the boom and one at the pump outlet for weep. If any of those are bad you'll lose flow through it and thus lose pressure. The weep one is easiest to check since you can either unhook the line going to it or look to see if the...

Except for non-detergent motor oil, you should not use any motor oil in a Cat pump. If you're looking to save money over Cat oil, get some ISO 68 hydraulic oil.

You can't see the adjustments in either your image or the one I linked. They're on the opposite side of the "OUT" port, just a screw head sticking out.

But how would they know to press the buttons? I got a voicemail today from a woman who sounded Nigerian (Not my most common customer base) no joke TELLING me to have someone come and show her how to use the car wash.

The solenoid could be stuck open. If you get flow whether it's energized or not, there's an issue with the solenoid. If the solenoid coil would not work if it was on upside-down, something would keep it from going on upside-down. I don't know why there would be water supply from both sides...

I've had manufacturers tell me they don't sell certain things through Kleen-Rite because of issues like that.

I wish I could make that work. A good 10-20% of my customers can't even read.

I've been having to put a zip-tie on the hose to act as a clamp to make a good seal. The last dozen or so times I've replaced either the pickup hose or just the foot valve it leaked past the barb.

Banks do not charge for that.

You might as well completely retool your system by adding separate low-pressure tire cleaner and presoak systems and tee-ing them in at the boom. You could inject tire cleaner and presoak at the boom, but with a separate low-pressure system you can mix air with them and run the chemical much...

The one I linked is definitely good for anything high-pH in a car wash, don't know about low-pH. Procon has a material compatibility chart. It has an internal pop-off that you can adjust as low as you need, but I prefer to use a bypass regulator. Coleman units use it and put a liquid...

Are you talking about switching between high pressure functions or low pressure ones?

If you're using the same product and one color is thick and one color is runny, you may just need to increase the strength of the runny one. If the colors mix in a manifold, try putting the blue at the farthest end from where it goes out to the pump. I've seen issues where the blue is so...

Make sure they have a mandrel bender. Stainless is difficult to bend because it becomes hardened as it's being worked.
