The first problem was the bent deformed presoak hose. Then I could not even tell where the break was on the tire cleaner hose. So I had to turn it on. Then I saw the problem.

Another 29 bills were accepted today. I think it might be fixed now. Which would be good. I do not know how anyone could run a wash with only one changer.

Today, I had a chance to look at the pump and the water supply. I disconnected the inlet side to the pump. Nothing came out. Then I took off the check valve and water then came out. I checked out the check valve and everything looked okay except some crap in it. Maybe that is what messed up the spring? Anyway I put the check valve on again and everything worked okay.

I noticed that the steel beams were leaking from the right bays. I then noticed that the ro water hose was just cracked off from who knows. The interesting thing is that the connection to the check valve was 1/4 and the hose was 3/8. There was a huge bundle of hoses so I just replaced the hose with 1/4 hose.

Water was running down the left side of the equipment room. I assumed it was from the left bays. I found a small linking fitting and replaced. This did not fix the problem.

Elbow fitting was broken. Replaced with a 3/8 fitting then lated changed to 1/4.

I am not sure what the problem is but the pump is not getting pressure. The pump and the motor are running and no water is comming out. I also had a hose brake in that bay. It was late and raining so I gave up. The wash won today but I will be back tommorrow.

The changer worked without a problem and it accepted 39 bills. I hope it was the dirty wheels.
