    When bay is occupied and next car purchases a wash, transaction completes but wash is not stored or initiated when bay empties. Is there a setting on the controller that inadvertently got deactivated or what should I be looking at? TIA MC

    PECO Side Washers

    Peco Parts has been great - they send what their system shows as the current replacement. My concern is the accuracy of their system since Sonny's took over, so asking Peco users for firsthand input.

    PECO Side Washers

    Trying to replace shocks and just reecived another iteration from Peco that is much less robust looking, but sold as current replacement. Original p/n 144280? Also 144280A or Gabriel 619018. Regardless, mounting holes are undersized - original has 5/8 bolt. Any advice

    Is the pump going to be happier and live longer the larger the hose between the outlet and bay boom or is fitteng size the determinant factor? Have two locations - one using 1/4, one 5/16.

    4-Way MAC Valve Issue

    I just installed a new MAC 912B that controls the underflush valve on a LaserWash 4000. The previous MAC continuously had air flowing out of the exhaust port and the valve was slow to move.

    Forgot to mention, but we are actually replacing faded covers and that's when all of the rust was discovered. One of the guys got a little too agressive with the prep and now a couple are leaning against the building.
