Hamilton entry unit problem

I called Hamilton support today (1-800-837-5561) and they dialed into my modem and checked out my credit card computer.  They said that the unit was turned off for a very long time and it was reset a lot of times.  So apparently they can not really check anything by dialing into the system.  (I knew that much!)  They did say to send the unit in to them and they think it will cost anywhere between $200 and $500 to fix.

William was trying to show me how the entry unit works and the Hamilton handheld would not work.  (The handheld, from what I have gathered, programs prices and the credit card computer.)  William called Hamilton to try and get the handheld to work but nothing would work.  Ends up that the cord was messed up (last picture).

I took the $1900 Hamilton credit card computer home with me to fix the handheld cord, which I did.  I did not take the 2 boards apart but the top board looks like an Aprotek modem.

Water Wizard Preparation – Water pressure fix

Greg came by the carwash today to help us troubleshoot my water pressure problem.  His idea was to get a water pressure gauge and see what the water pressure is before the regulator (hose bib) and before the Water Wizard hydrominder.  It ended up that I was getting 90 psi before the regulator and 40 psi before the hydrominder.  Then we decided to remove a large inline filter and the pressure jumped to 60 psi.  This jump in water pressure to 60 psi with the 1″ water line allowed me enough water to keep up with the high pressure functions.

Water Wizard control unit problem

We were having a problem already with the Wizard control unit not allowing us to test each function.  Ends up that the Red Lion (1st picture, has a display on it) was not plugged in.   The silver plug (2nd picture) was a little loose and that was the problem.  So our first problem was solved!
