    Cat 30 pump pressure dropped to zero

    I have an update to this problem. It went away for a time, but now it's back. The problem only happens with high pressure soap. As in, when you select high pressure soap, the Dole Valve does not allow mixed water to enter the reservoir and it starves the pump. Select any other wash cycle and...

    Cat 30 pump pressure dropped to zero

    The old Dole valve was only leaking, that's what I changed it. I was almost tempted to put it back on, but it was pretty old. I gave up and we had a guy come out today. He read out the relays that MEP001 and 2Biz were talking about. I couldn't stay with him and all I know is that he found a...

    Cat 30 pump pressure dropped to zero

    Something else I wanted to add. About a week before the pump started acting up, I changed a leaking valve in the back of the intake reservoir for the pump water supply. It looks to me like a mixing valve, it's pinkish and has cold and hot water lines connected. The thing is, now the water is...

    Cat 30 pump pressure dropped to zero

    Hello everyone, I've been following this forum for a few months. The car wash I work at has a Cat 30 pump (direct drive) that recently quit working. Here's what it's doing: When I activate the test switch, sometimes it will come up to pressure just fine, but more often now, it stays at zero...
