    What should I check for this?

    Tire Cleaner - Spitting air

    It turns out that my tire cleaner mixture was not strong enough. My pump was pushing moist air as the product was weak. When I added more tire cleaner product to the mixture tank, it worked. So I increased the metering tip, thinking it will solve the issue. But it stopped again yesterday and it...

    Tire Cleaner - Spitting air

    I am suspecting it is, as I can feel the motor gets hot when it runs. I will check it out. Also I did remove the hose that connects to the check valve, I could see the liquid getting pumped but maybe it does not have enough PSI.

    Tire Cleaner - Spitting air

    Where can I add this check valve? I don't want the liquid the go back to the product mixture tank if there is a bad plunger.

    Tire Cleaner - Spitting air

    Hello everyone, I have a low-pressure tire cleaner that is spitting just air but no product for all bays. I have been having this issue for a few weeks now: - - My tech mentioned the procon pump had an airtight (he called it a paper lock or something like that). Anyone can share more info on...

    Biz Insurance Recommendations

    Does anyone have recommendations for an insurance provider? I am based in Houston, with 5 SS, and 1 IBA. The existing insurance guys quoted me $8.5k, an increase of $1.5k. TIA.

    IDX Tokens

    We use IDX token 1.073, now they have increased the price to $1.08/per token (5k minimum tokens) + shipping cost. We now sell them for $1 value using our coin dispenser. With this price increase, it seems like we will lose money if the tokens do not come back. This is crazy, everything is going...

    Ryko - Max5 - 1480 Error code

    Our machine has photo eyes and rounded rails. As this does not happen for all the washes, I can rule out some options that you have mentioned.

    Ryko - Max5 - 1480 Error code

    This makes sense, as this shows up randomly, my suspicion is with smaller cars. For small cars, I have noticed gantry reverses all the way back/ Also, it seems like it is not a big issue, except for the nuisance it travels all the way back when it does not need to do. I will look into the...

    Ryko - Max5 - 1480 Error code

    Hello All - I am constantly seeing the 1480 error code on the Ryko Diagnostic trace log, I don't see this error for all cars. My best guess is with sedan cars. My NCS tech mentioned that this is normal, which does not make sense to me. I have attached the diagnostic trace for reference. My photo...

    Water Bill and RO Waste Water

    Hello All- What is the monthly water expense you guys see in your car wash? Also, do you guys reuse the RO waste water? We are based in Houston, TX, and see around $2,000 on avg (5 SS Bays and 1 IBA). Is this normal? Thank you.

    Security Cameras

    How big is your hard drive and how many cameras? Did you set all the cameras for continuous recording? I am leaning toward buying the Costco one.

    Vacuum Vault - Break-in

    Hello Everyone - I had a few vacuum vaults break-in in the last 2 weeks, same offenders, I am sure they are coming back. The first time they broke, is by hacking the Master padlock, then I replaced all my locks with Abus 20/70 KA Diskus Padlock. The second time they tried to do the same thing...

    Air Compressor - Breaker Tripping off

    It was 30 AMP and probably a 12 gauge wire. We could see some burns on the wire. We now replaced it with an 8 gauge and 40 AMP breaker. I guess when this goes bad we will make sure we buy the new one that is compatible with 208 V. I have learned quite a bit with this breakage and thank you for...

    Air Compressor - Breaker Tripping off

    I am not sure when it trips off. We have seen this issue first in late summer (when it was not cold) and now (for sure in the evening).

    Air Compressor - Breaker Tripping off

    Here is what I have figured till now: - - The wire gauge is not even 10. So we plan to change it to 8 so that it can hold 40A. - We see the voltage is coming to 208V, I don't think so changing the wire gauge will improve this voltage. - We plan to change the wire gauge and do a test load. If...
