Hi everyone, my scancoin 303 bit the dust. I've sent a email to scancoin to see if there is a US repair facility. o If anyone knows of one please let me know.
In the meantime, On ebay and Amazon I've seen several counters available that look very similar. I need one that can offsort vacuum...
I've got a 20 year old 5CP2120 pump with a fresh warranty head and seal kit. and it sounds like the bearing might be going out (I am assuming it's not the motor bearing at this point)
I'm thinking It's best to just replace the pump and salvage the head for spare parts. But before I do that, has...
I know this is simple stuff for some of you but I thought I would write a post to bring some automation controls to your attention. This stuff is super easy to set up and and requires very little time or money.
In anticipation of the cold weather I wanted a little more information and more...
Hi Folks,
I think a few years ago my municipal water supply went up significantly in pressure. I now have street pressure in the 140-150psi range. This is at a 4/2 that could potentially flow up to 100 gpm or so. I'm getting rapid failures out of the watts LF-AUB-Z3 2" regulators and the...
Hi guys, just discovered something about these valves that I didn’t realize. My hydrominder 572 valve failed in the open position. It’s a Carolina pride pump stand and they didn’t really make a good way to install a more traditional unit (jobe, etc.). These valves are ok but are $200 plus...
Hi Guys, I'm looking for a better way to rinse the tops of large vehicles on my istobal with high pressure. I have foam trapping typically in the crevices on the tops of vehicles near the doors on larger SUVS and trucks. The blowers manage to catch it and blow the foam out on the car, causing...
Well, I got a 3535 rebuilt last week but it was quite a struggle. What I now understand is called is a v packing spacer(the brass cylinder that has O rings on it between the two manifolds), was stuck in there tight The cat video recommends two flat bladed screwdrivers to pry out and remove but...
I just got an email from my distributor. Omron is discontinuing many of the electronic components now used in the WW, WW2.0, FusionX, and Efusion. They includes the various input and output cards, as well as the comm card. These will no longer be available after August 31st, 2022. There is not...
I've been using Continental/Goodyear but the 1" hose single wire has gotten pretty pricey! CWSS has Gates hose for a LOT less, like less than half the price. I use a lot of Gates push lock hose but not any HP hose. Any opinions on Gates HP hose good or bad? Thanks for your input
OK, for the second time in a few Months I've lost a contactor on the Istobal due to a loss of a phase. if a lose a leg that does not provide power to the 24V transformer the machine continues to try to run, and the contactor gets burned up. Does anyone have any advice about phase loss...
Hi Guys,
I was considering pulling out a water wizard with on board dryers at one wash and installing a friction unit. However, I was surprised to find out that my inside bay length is only 30'6". The Istobal flex five can wash a vehicle (with the vertical brushes only) out to 240". That will...
Just putting here for future reference. Love my wash selects but now with call ahead tech support appointment tech support I pretty much feel I'm on my own to figure out the problem, (along with the help of the folks here anyway). I had a problem last week I was trying to figure out and the...
I'm looking to possibly add a bug applicator to my IBA for the front bumper/grill and was wondering if any of you have added and what floor mounted hardware/nozzle setup have you used? I was thinking about connecting to my undercarriage output. That way the higher level washes would get bug...
I've had really good luck with My Wash Select IIs over the past 19 years. One of the things I like about them is built-in ability in every WSII to generate discount and fleet codes, or use the VIP cards if you're using the default swipes. The standard machines I believe have a max of 100...
Well, we are finely are getting some smarter, more experienced thieves in our areas. My Coleman vaults with Medeco T handle locks were defeated quite quickly by some thieves. The vaults are recessed. Without getting into details I need to block the keyway with a hockey puck lock or similar...
Hey guys, I just installed some new meter doors made by Etowah Valley on a 2000 Vintage D&H pump stand that formally had Millineum push button doors . My tire cleaner was not foaming. I got to poking around and it looks like the TC air is tied into the timed output so that any time the timer is...
I have three pretty nice SS/IBAs in good areas of Central Alabama and am looking forward to retirement in a few years. I'm looking for a person to run the day to day operations of the car washes. The ideal candidate would have basic bookkeeping skills, customer service experience, and experience...
This is a 15 gallon open top container with lids. Can’t tell you how many of these I’ve thrown away over the years but I need about three of them. I know turtle wax used to use them, but I’m having trouble finding them. Anyone know where to locate?
Hi Guys,
I'm moving soon to a much smaller house and its time to do some serious clean out. I've got a ton of back issues of SSCWN from the mid 90s to some not so long ago. Is anyone interested in these?
Just a head's up: After many years of having no issues with stringers I've been hit. This is with the latest software (3.61) and the validator set to high security. These particular guys are also smart enough not to completely drain your changer. They came back two days ago and only got...
