Hello everyone my name is james.
I just got a 6 bay s/s wash that has been out of operation for a while. All of the guns and brushes were missing, but the equipment room was complete and all looked in good working order as far as the motors and pumps.
The wash has wash, wax, rinse, spotfree, clearcoat, etc and the foaming brushes. So here is the deal I get guns and put them on and put hoses on the brush booms.
So anyway I start on the wash cycle and there is hp but no soap, I switch to spot free and tire cleaner and and it is low pressure like it should be but again no tire cleaner. I then check the foaming brushes and all that would come out was air no solution. I took the hose off of the pump on the foaming brush and it was pumping with good pressure, after I hooked that back up I started getting a little soap out of the brush.
I check all of the bays and I have the same problem in each bay, as you can see I am new to this and I could really use any help I can get. I had a guy come by and check the pumps and motors and those are good they are putting out around 1200-1300 psi. He has never worked on a car wash so that was the extent of his help.
I want to try and get as much done myself as I can before I call someone in to look at it.
If they come out I have attached a few pics of the equipment room.
Thanks in advance for any help.
