Philosphy was that a voltage spike was seen at some point and damaging the back board on the timers. The fuse was supposed to blow when this spike happens, but on my last board, it did not. And out of 6 bays, I have never had one not work because the fuse was blown, so I am not really sure if...

I have the exact same problem. Jim told me to install the 3 amp fuses on the meters, but I just had another one go bad after I had the fuse installed. I am probably on my 5th one in 3 years. Problem is that they can't seem to tell me what is causing it. I want to get on the phone with them...

http://s1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh573/lighthousecarwash/ Ok, we will try this. Let me know if you can access them. Thanks, Lighthouse.

Tried to upload a couple of pictures of it loaded on the trailer, but I guess they are too big. I will have to play with them and see if I can get them to a smaller size to work with the forum. Lighthouse.

I would have been all for the Razor if I didn't get such a great deal on this machine. It's actually a 2007 model, but was never installed. I am going to have a couple of updates added to this one and it should be just as good as a brand new one. I think we will get started in about 3 weeks...

Heading on a road trip tomorrow to pick up my new WashWorld HV. Been a long road to get to this point and I am getting pretty excited to get it home and start with all the little projects before the install. I feel like I have washed my truck in a hundred different autos over the past 3 years...

Has anyone used the classifieds on this forum and what has been your overall opinion. I have some used equipment that I am going to be replacing and looking for the best place to advertise to move it. I'm not a big fan of ebay but have considered craigslist. Any suggestions? Thanks, Lighthouse.

Are you using them with Etowah Valley's credit card system?

I may be purchasing a new IBA that has an American Changer included in the deal. The auto cashier is brand new in the box, but is a 2007 model. I believe that I will have to do some sort of upgrade to get it PCI compliant. Does anyone know what I should expect to pay for this upgrade...

I just bought 2 new cans for the front vac islands at my wash. I did have 4 open topped cans and the trash was overwhelming. I remember someone on this site saying that a top with a hole in it would cut down on the trash. I first installed my security cameras so I could catch anyone trying to...

My current IBA does around 7K cars/year. I don't have any features like super sealant, 3x foam, or a dryer. I really think the my IBA is hurting my business more than it is helping. But, it is really hard to justify the $100K price tag of a new machine if I can't make it pay for itself. I...

I have been approached about purchasing a used High Velocity machine. It was new in 2008 and has around 60,000 washes on it. There are a few things that I will have to have added like 3x foam, but it seems to be nicely equipped. I would like to know from some of you that have this machine...

I have caught people doing things I don't like and when questioned about it, they said that I didn't have a sign that said they couldn't do it. I always ask them what hours my half price happy hour is, and they can never answer. I then tell them that there is a sign in the bay that states...

Now for the real question....how well does it clean? Are you using Blendco/Turtle Wax products? I really like the 3x foam. Most of them you use don't put on much of a "show" in my opinion, but yours looks awesome. Can that machine do the 2 step pre-soak and a super sealant? Thanks, Lighthouse

I work nights from home and I'm certainly glad that I don't have internet at the car wash to stream live video or I would not get any work done. These cameras are addictive. Everytime I walk by the monitor at the wash, I have to stop and watch people in the bays. Lighthouse.

Bypass valve? I will have to study things to see where that is even located. I'm tempted to call Huron Valley, but not sure if they have a tech support hotline or not. Guess it won't hurt to call. Thanks,

My ProPack spot free machine from Huron Valley Sales makes a funny noise when the "proflush" kicks on to wash down the membranes. It sounds like a cavitation and really pulses the hose going from the procom pump to the first membrane. I don't remember it making this noise before, but the...

I started on the install today at the wash. I got the DVR and monitor where I wanted it and powered up. Just had enough time to get one camera up. I put it in the corner at the opposite side of the meter and at the far end of the bay, so it looks down across the car and to the meter. I drove...

Looks like the Air Lifts like I have. My motors and counter weights are all on the inside of the bay. Was there not enough clearance to put them on the inside?
