    Am I crazy ?

    The Wow factor for the customer comes in the show and performance. Because you viewed one running different chemistry it can be hard to actually see the improvement in show. Since you really like your current setup, the biggest Wow factor for you may come in the simple ability of the Razor to...

    Laser 4000 intermittent stopping

    You mentioned that it happens at different corners. Does it just happen at the front driver's side and rear passenger's side or does it also happen at the rear driver's side and front passenger's side? I ask because if it just happens at the front driver's side and rear passenger's side then...

    When it happens, what does the print out say? What does the J0 say when you input 100#1#?

    What would it take to upgrade from PDQ M5 to 360?

    The nodes are about the only thing that the M5 and 360 share. They use different rails, different festoons, different hoses, different rollers, and different pump stands. If you want to get a used 360 to replace your M5, then you should plan to strip the bay back to bare and do a complete...

    is drying agent needed?

    The drying agent is not needed on top of a properly applied wax or ceramic. You can try taking it off packages with a wax or ceramic and see how much of an impact it has on your drying.

    Nayax on Wash Select 2

    On ours, the customer selects the wash through the WS2 first, then runs the card. They are fairly simple for the customer to use.

    Photo Eye Sun Shield

    You could also just change out the photo eyes for ones designed to work in direct sunlight. If you go this route then select ones that the wire screws onto. That will make future changes quick and easy.

    Changing Coleman Hanna Water Wizard 2.0 to Wand Wash

    You know your market. If you want to pull out your automatic then go ahead. Since there's room on the stand for the extra Bay, your Self Serve can probably be reworked to accommodate it. If you have the money available, I would recommend just buying an extra pump station from GinSan or Kleen...

    . No spotfree LW4000 X2

    Your low level float should have stopped the pumps from running and sucking air. I would check the float.

    Help! Smart Switch To Control Pay Station Remotely

    What kind of car wash did you install. Wash World and PDQ can both be setup to close the bay automatically at a set time. They will both close the Paystation when they do.

    . No spotfree LW4000 X2

    Things to check. Is the JO cabinet showing a low water auxiliary message? Are is X36 lit up? If so the low water RO Tank float may be bad. You can pull it out and check for continuity with a multi meter. It should change state when held in a down position and switched to an up position. If the...

    G5 big list of errors

    You are having an issue with the big 25hp VFD located on the pump station. Something is causing it to draw to many amps resulting in an overload. When this happens the bay will close down and the other drives are usually restricted from moving properly until it is cleared. Since it appears that...

    Which Self Serve Equipment is the Best ?

    I'm not sure what you are asking for actually exists. You would need a unit with PLC's, which is very unusual. Most Self Serves use cheaper simple timers. Even then the low soap alerts are usually provided by your chemical supplier that has them designed for their systems. Wash World offers a...

    Ultrasonic sensor problem

    Not all ultrasonic sensors are the same. They all have various ranges and sensitivity levels. Some can be placed facing one another without interference while others may need a multiplexor to accomplish this. Are you sure you're using the correct ultrasonic for this project?
