Hey group, one of the abus locks that locks the change drawer in one of our fragramatics vacs has a broken key in it from the previous owner. We would like to get that out so we can start using the coin drawer instead of the bucket we have in there now. We have tried a cheap key extractor with...

Hi group, the SS wash we took over has relatively hard water. Busy 8 bay wash, and getting busier. Going to eventually add Spot Free, but in the meantime wanted to add the softener to help with our soaps. We are having to run everything strong at this location due to hard water. Where does the...

Hi group, have a ginsan lumitouch meter door that the pre-soak button is not lighting or selecting the function. Usually I replace the button and all is good, back in business. This time that didn't work, I even tried swapping buttons with a known good and problem stayed with the pre-soak slot...

What chemical is everyone using for HP wax on self serve side? Looking for a change to something with good foam show and smell. We buy most of our chemicals from KR and CWSS

Hi group, Been getting this PMP-K20-F086:Fuse Tripped Error fault on my mark vii aquajet xt every once in 500 or so washes, which is the low pressure pump overamping. It has happened at the same spot everytime - when it's transitioning from presoak to hp rinse. The error message on the VFD is...

We are about to replace our damaged touch free IBA - was damaged by a non-customer driving through the bay and hitting the machine. Would like to put a gate in front similar to a tunnel wash that opens once a wash is paid for to hopefully prevent a future incident. We had people driving through...

What is everyone doing for marketing for your washes? We are looking to spend some $ on marketing this year for both SS and IBA. What have you found to be most effective? We currently have nothing in place, just our Google business page, so blank slate. Any good car wash specific marketing...

Hi group, I have a 310 pump that's not making full pressure. Took the head off to have a look to see what was going on. The middle rod has a pretty good amount back and forth play in it. Seems to be plunger and retaining bolt moving together. I took the back cover off to see if the rod bolts...

Had this happen on Friday. Idiot tried to drive through the bay with a trailer on nailed it. Not even a customer, just driving through the bay to get out of our lot. Caused even more damage to other parts of the machine and property trying to back out. And of course ran away and didn't call us...

I'm about to have to buy both HP and LP swivels to replenish my stock. What kind is everyone using? We have been using the KR house brand which seem to work fine, but we have a few old fluid controls and JE Adams ones that were installed by the previous owner that seem to swivel much better. Any...

Hi group, we are in the process of adding air dryers to our bays. Does anyone know if this stop button can be converted to a function and a separate stop button added elsewhere on the box? We are out of spaces on these 3 meter boxes, and trying to find a way to add a function spot without a big...

Hi Group, was looking at the dual tip eductor kit for hydrominder to ph boost some of our SS soaps a little to prevent scum/jelling in the mixing tanks - just want to get the ph a little higher to keep everything clear. Dual eductors seem to be quite pricey for what they are. Anybody ever tried...

Hi group, having a little trouble with a 310 ss pump. Won't make Above 900 psi. I have inspected valves, seemed ok, but plan on replacing them tomorrow. Changed the regulator thinking it maybe bypassing, old one was good. Hooked a hose and gun direct to the pump to test, and still only got...

Hi group, having issue with an ACW4 that's stuck on version number after turning on power. Was working a couple months back when I tested it. Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting or what issue might be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Keno

Hi Group, I've got a leaking pump in my touch-free Mark VII and it is causing there not to be enough water on the rinse pass. Currently there is a Goulds 7GBS1517R4-R03 pump in there now. This is the pump in the actual roll over machine, I know it is used for rinse, not sure if anything else...

A few of the buttons on my lumitouch meter boxes are on the way out. Anybody have a source for them? I can't find them anywhere and no markings on the buttons in there now. digikey or mouser?

Hi group, had a 24vac 100va transformer give up to the ghost, have 1 on order. I have a 40va transformer in stock, can I use that to get my bay up and going while I wait on the 100va replacement to get delivered? Don't want to screw something else up by using a lower powered transformer, so...

I am in the process of replacing some Ginsan GS400 II to Dixmor LED 6 timers. Can't seem to find the voltage specs on the existing Ginsan Horns in my meter boxes. I'm trying to see if I need to order new horns. Looks like Dixmor outputs 12vdc to the horn. Anybody know the Ginsan horn specs...

I have a rotary switch that has developed a lot of rotational play. Is there a fix for that or just replace? I saw the old thread with the seals from digikey, and plan on adding those. 2nd question, maybe a little more involved. I don't know if wiring is incorrect, but everytime someone...
