Thank you, Greg, for your thoughtful input. My IBA system is of a soft-touch type. I think the reason some of you mention "touch-free" could be due to the higher cost of chemicals which in fact reduce costs by adding softener. I haven't heard many customer complaints, but I do notice that on...

I did consider this, but it would require extensive plumbing work to set up the chemical water input supply for both self-serve and IBA. Since one tank costs around $4k, I'd prefer to invest a bit more to add a second tank and avoid this hassle in the future. I'm currently trying to calculate...

Yes, I agree. The RO membrane cost me $400, which I currently end up replacing every year or 1.5 years now.

Mine is a soft touch system. Currently, all my packages include a spot-free cycle. However, there may be a few minor spots caused by small droplets from residual water clinging to the gantry or tips as the machine moves over the blow cycles. Any significant savings from the chemical usage? Can...

Hello Everyone: I’m considering a $9k investment in a water softener for my car wash (5 self-serve bays + 1 IBA) to reduce chemical/RO membrane costs and improve wash quality. My water hardness is around 8-9 grains (moderately hard), but my tech suggests other upgrades (like paint and decals)...

My MEI validator is rejecting all bills. I’ve cleaned the belt, sensor, white rolls, and bill cassette. It worked fine for a couple of weeks, but over the past two days, it’s been accepting only one bill before rejecting the rest. Today, it’s not accepting any bills at all. It keeps flashing 4...

Update: The issue was traced to the personality plug, which has now been resolved. Thank you all for your guidance and support.

Yes, I am going to replace this personality plug, and see how it goes. Will update here. Thank you

We use the CryptoPay swiper and 1034 R timer. Have shared wires with CC and IDX. I removed all the nuts and made sure everything is touching properly. I also suspected it had to be with cables but can't figure out.

I used the personality plug of that bay (not the one I am having the problem). Good Idea I can swap the personality plug and see if that zeroes down the problem.

I'm experiencing an issue with my X10 acceptor. It keeps blinking red/green and won't accept any tokens or coins. I swapped it with a new X12 acceptor, and programmed it, shows a green light, but it neither recognizes the value of coins nor produces any sound. It also doesn't reject the coins...

Hello - I am looking for some help with my AlamoBrand Carbon Filter, model number N2058 (attached a few pics). I have been unable to find the manual online. Does anyone have a copy? Specifically, I need to understand: How to set the current time. When to regenerate the filter. After how many...

No, I mean use the hot wax option for Graphene.

@Ryko CS How about adding the hot wax option for Graphene and removing the clear coat sealant option from the top package. Will that work? I'm also unsure about the sequence—will the hot wax pass occur after the ceramic coating? Just make this change and keep the clear coat sealant pass for the...

Thank you.

@Darin Thank you, that's what I suspected. For my setup, I have the ColorWave (Carnauba Wax) + Finishing Curtain, followed by a Fresh Water Rinse, Ceramic, Clear Coat Sealant, and a Spot Free Water pass. Is my only option to replace the Clear Coat Sealant with Graphene? Also, we currently...

I forgot to mention the high-pressure water spray after applying the tire chemical. I agree we can optimize some of these passes. I'm curious if this can be done on the Ryko system. My technician mentioned that, off the top of his head, he believes we cannot simultaneously turn on multiple...

I did think about replacing the clear coat with graphene. This works well for the top package, but it's too expensive for the lower package. Currently, a clear coat is applied to all packages. Additionally, my IBA (In-Bay Automatic) car wash doesn't dry the car well without a clear coat. The...

Hello - I need guidance on reconfiguring a few options on my IBA for the highest price package. It is currently configured as follows: Tire Cleaner Nothing (Return Pass) Triple Foam Side Brush (Return Pass) Top and Side Brush Side Brush (Return Pass) Carnauba Wax Pass Water Droplet from the...
