    Anyone using JBS RinseAid for Wax in SS

    You can see the samurai shield in the high pressure rinse, not as strong as the soap, but there is some color and slight sudsyness and it smells like pina colada, except I am putting it on a bit weak for me to smell it in my wash. It beads the water up great.

    Car wash superstore "prime shipping" type deal expires 05/15

    I jumped on this. I figure it will pay for itself in 3 or 4 orders based on what KR has been charging on shipping.recently.

    Hamilton Goldline lost its mind

    back to the site last night. Program held. killed the breaker to the goldline and turned it back on, programming held. Guess I may never know what happened but everything was lost. Date, audits, even the non resettable balances. all zeroed out. Oh well... just another day running an old car wash...

    Hamilton Goldline lost its mind

    Yes cryptopay. No Memory Data Altered message but it was altered. We have had a lot of weather lately. maybe lightening. I had a 220v breaker on my RO unit trip a couple days ago, reset with no further problem, don't know what happened there either.

    Hamilton Goldline lost its mind

    What concerns me most is it lost the perpetual data. Its like the machine was born yesterday, except a lot of the defaults were there, they must be burned in on a chip.

    Hamilton Goldline lost its mind

    That was my initial thought but I find no reference to a battery in the manual, Also, the manual says it should display a message if the data is corrumpted and shut down, it was still saying welcome, select a wash, just the prices and washes were all messed up and the date was gone. If there is...

    Hamilton Goldline lost its mind

    Went to the wash this evening, figured I'd run my car through the old D&S 5000 to check it out. The Hamilton Goldline was acting goofy, using wrong prices, lost all audit trails, etc. After a lengthly trial and error reprogramming session, it is back up. Any ideas what may have caused it to...

    HP motor contactors dropping out when 3 or more bays using at same time.

    Found it this evening. there is a float switch in the rinse tank when 3 bays are using high pressure, there is not enough water coming in to fill the tank. guess I get to learn to rebuild one of those watts diaphram valves. found 2 used ones and a couple new diaphrams in the storage shed...

    HP motor contactors dropping out when 3 or more bays using at same time.

    Had the busiest day yet since renovating this old wash (D&S pump stands). today when I arrived at the site. 3 bays in use, all running High pressure. the pumps were starting and stopping intermitently. Went to the equipment room suspecting maybe a water supply issue, but the contactors were...

    Ok, I'm going to admit I am looking at Chinese IBAs...

    I'm worried about things flying around where people can get into them. My wash is really open and unattended. Less chance of catching antennas etc. Lots of mudders in my area too. Just seems a bad idea for now. I have located a replacement gantry for the old D&S 5000 so will get it going again...

    Ok, I'm going to admit I am looking at Chinese IBAs...

    My D&S 500 gantry is twisted beyond further use. I settled with the insurance company for the cost of replacing it. For what D&S wants for the gantry alone, I could get a complet new inverted L from someone like Sino Star, and there are simpler less expensive options as well... I searched and...
