A LOT depends on your ownership timeframe. I've had my wash almost 30 years. At the 25 year point, my Cat 623's started needing replacement. (I've still got a couple still running). At my age, I don't need to get 30 years out of a replacement Cat pump....so I went with Arimitsu replacements...

I'd be interested in the trolley and the center pod.

The East Peoria pictures look like an old Super Wash automatic. Pro Equipment made the automatic machine for them. Simple, reliable design. Very few moving parts. Does NOT size to the car.

That is indeed a big mess just to run a vacuum. The way the contactor buzzes like that.....is likely one of two things. 1-A bad coil on the contactor. 2-More likely, low voltage to the contactor. It's hard to see from the video, but does your transformer have (what appears) to be an 18v...

Thanks Kimberly. Great solution. They're already enroute.....

Slightly off topic but, Kimberly, I see you have the same booms that I do. I don't know the manufacturer. I need to replace several "round bumpers" on the end of the boom. Do you know the item, and where to source?

I DO have a boom....

I'm getting ready to replace all of my foam brush hoses. I always used a 3/8 low pressure hose, however, I see "coil type" hoses available for the Foam Brush. They are more expensive. Are they any better? What size?

When I replaced my trough several years ago, I followed the advice of someone on this forum. Make your trough "L" shaped instead of "U" shaped. One side of the "L" stays affixed to the roof, the other "L" is the lid. The two "L's" join to make a box. Man, what a difference. When you need to...

I'm not sure it was stated correctly..... The weep water should be connected, using a Normally OPEN solenoid. This is so that a power failure will fail to a protected state. If the weepmizer is connected correctly to the N.O. solenoid, the solenoid is OFF when the light is ON, and vice versa...

I vote for S Thomas. They did an outstanding job on my new decals. Here's before and after.....

My Hamilton ACW 4's have been in the sun/rain for 30 years and still run great. I'm not sure why you think you need to "protect" your pay stations. I wouldn't worry about shielding the rain for the customers. I don't know about your place, but when it rains....I don't have many.......

After 30 years in the business......I don't see a nickels worth of difference between having those dome lights work or not. I quit fixing them years ago. My lot is well lit (and clean).....and that's what really matters......

Actually we vend those also. The yellow ones outsell the white ones 2x. Yellows vend for$2. White for $1.50.

Just fold them up, and insert them in the spirals...... They vend just fine that way.

I'm not sure about your demographics. You aren't going to get rich selling snacks and cold drinks at a car wash (in my opinion). I have an old AMS 39 vendor (Old Shurvend system, which isn't around anymore). The ONLY reason I have the vendor.....is to vend discounted Hamilton Tokenotes while...

I made an aftercooler for my air compressor, and the dry air completely eliminated my pneumatic pump issues.

Humid air kills Flojets. You said you were in Houston. It's really humid there now, Yes?????

This is what I've used for years. Rebuildable with new diaphragms etc. I had a hard time finding these just now. Are they discontinued? Hypro - Pulsation Dampener - 6 gpm max. (1/2" Mounting Port, 200 psi p – Steve Regan Company
