    Check valve replacement as well?

    If it's not broke don't fix. I would clean it up the manifold, replace the hoses and reinstall it.

    Best tip size for weeping guns

    I run 1505 nozzles year around. The 15 degree fan gives the customer the impression that they are getting more pressure than they really are. The 05 puts out about 3.5 gallons per minute. I run my pumps at 1400 psi.

    Help Needed: Persistent Pump Cavitation Issue in 3-Bay Self-Serve Car Wash

    It's not plumbed up right. Look at the picture of how my pumping system is plumbed up and copy it. You don't need the 2 check valves on the inlet. You want to use a Generant regulator if you can't get the Watts regulators to work properly.

    Rebuilt CAT 310 Pump...now no High Pressure

    When you had the pump head open did you happen to check the ports for wash out or erosion? Check to make sure you have water going to the pump, disconnect the water supply to the pump to verify that you have water to the pump. It almost sounds like to have a plugged up hose. Try this disconnect...

    Touchless vs friction for Seattle area

    I’d stay away from Mark VII, the distributor is too far away from your area. Service might be a problem in an emergency. Istobal has about zero presence in the PNW as does Autec. My brother has 2 Autec machines, total junk. Petit is coming on strong, I'm seeing more of them. The big dog up here...

    Help Needed: Persistent Pump Cavitation Issue in 3-Bay Self-Serve Car Wash

    Are the fed by well water pressure, no gravity tank? Are the wash, rinse, wax cold water? I think your starving the pump for water. Take one of the regulators out and hook the water up straight into the pump and try running it, you won't get any chemical out of the gun but you to eliminate...

    Coin Deposit

    We very seldom have to take quarters to the bank. When we do have to take them to the bank we roll them, our Scan Coin SC3001 coin counter will roll them in a few minutes. At the car wash we have a Scan coin 303 to separate the tokens from the coins. The banks here don't have a coin counters...

    Monorail domes

    Which vacuum do you have the Oval G-2 Tradewind or the round Tempest? I think your going to be out of luck, Monorail went bankrupt over 20 years ago.

    Hamilton Paystation - Blinking Lights

    I looked at the video on my phone. Blinking lights on the distribution panel indicates not enough DC power. Take your car wash operators best friend, your volt meter and check #6 plug for 5vdc between any red wire to any black wire. If you need a DC power supply let me know.

    There's no video. Sounds to me like a bad DC power supply.

    Timer Buzzer

    Why don't you replace the face plates, you have them made and then use a Dixmor LED-7 timer with a horn.

    Timer Buzzer

    I think it might time to spend some big money and upgrade your coin boxes. I don't think you can put a last coin alert on a GS-7 timer.
