Christ PRIMUS C150 at Morrisons (Replaced)
Well I cannot believe it after three years the Christ Primus C150 at Morrisons James Grove Saint Helens Merseyside has finally reopened after Morrisons head office contacting me and lied to me by saying nothing is happening to the car wash it’s not reopening or being replaced and they would not admit to me that it was abandoned so what the hell is going on. This system has been badly serviced and neglected The last time I used the system on the full program was back in August 2016 I saw the system again in August 2017 and it was in really disgusting condition this time round the walls improvements the wheel wash brushes has been replaced and the loud banging noise fixed also the high-pressure in the wheel Washes was fixed there is a sensor issue with the system one the system doesn’t detect the vehicle during the brush wash that’s why the top brush didn’t go fully down over the vehicle like it supposed to and it didn’t detect the vehicle at the front to do a side to side with the side brushes and the same of the back of the vehicle overall in my opinion with the system being closed for three years also after what Morrisons had told me I really do think this system needs replacing you spend £7.89 on the only top program available as you see in the photographs it says platinum program £8.49 coming soon and it’s been there that long it worn out and a half of the signs missing The only good part about this system was the very high powerful side and under chassis wash and the drying was pretty good surprisingly Even though the drying bar Is disabled from oscillating and didn’t detect the back of the vehicle properly.
As of January 2023 the system is in A fault condition with side brushes together and is currently closed with machine fully at the exit of wash bay. Cause of fault somebody drove through the brushes while the machine was active at the time of my discovery the wash bay safety alarm was sounding and flashing orange.
Program Gold £8.49

MFG are doing up the petrol station today and they are with Wilcomatic who are removing the primus and replace and get it with a secondhand Varius C163. It’s arriving tomorrow I’m so looking forward to it. I cannot wait and it will be using contactless payment and they’ve replaced the code box to and they’ve also removed the wash and installed a brand-new one.

Not sure if it's nationwide but Morrisons have agreed a profit share system with Istobal, most washes will be running fresh water only unless there's a specific reason for recycling the water or mechanical means are necessary to get the used water down the drain.

Great to see Morrisons, as well as Istobal I thinking about the environment I’ve not heard anything in the Car Wash community about this Or on Flickr this is obviously something to look into. I honestly thought it was fresh water as all of their sites. This particular location is run and operated by Wilcomatic the other Morrisons site on Baxters Lane, Saint Helens is run by istobal so by what you are saying that location may be recycled water they most likely will have in the equipment room a water filtration system to help with the water as well as chemicals so it’s not bad on the environment something Wesumat had done for many years, previous with a water system called Biokleen

I’ve just found you on LinkedIn if I am correct, you have retired early on health grounds. So sorry to hear that. Hope you are doing well nowadays. It’s great to see you worked for Wilcomatic it may have been for a short time, but you seem to have got some great experience working for the company so you may know a lot about Morrisons on the contract with Istobal/ Wilcomatic for Christ
I’m just curious as to why so many car washes are turning their side brushes black. They should stick to their original colour and shape
Awesome Video, Hopefully Next Year Me and family will go to the UK and film some car washes there :D
Great video, do christ primus systems have a sticker on the side with when it was made?

You are exactly right the brush has been partly replaced with polyethylene at the bottom on the right I wish they’d replaced all of the brushes especially the top brush

This system has had these particular textile brushes since the system was installed in 2009 they definitely need replacing

Makes sense to make the system refurbished with the same material just like the one at Sainsbury’s I filmed that had all black Sensofil+ makes the system look a lot neater

That would be amazing it just depends where in the UK you want to visit Liverpool has some great car wash systems so doors down south around Northampton Southampton port it just depends most of the good classic car washes have been removed over the years and either replaced or demolished completely. Most of the car washes in the UK are WashTec Istobal. Christ is now manly at Tesco supermarket petrol stations along with Morrisons Christ CADIS and the reprogrammed Primus systems.
