    Credit card pricing

    It’s not the same though. I explain that exact scenario when I get calls about pre auth charges. We’re like a gas station we don’t know how much your going to spend but we pre authorize you for a certain amount. However our CC charges don’t stop when someone releases the trigger on the gun and...

    Home built air dryer.

    The premier guns have a fan nozzle. Ive never used an air logic one but when I first installed the dryers I had just the regular air shammee nozzles that was maybe a 1 1/2" open hole and they were terrible. I ended up buying the fan nozzle for them a few days later and it helped a lot but that...

    Home built air dryer.

    I switched from air shammee to premier and what a difference. The flow is so much stronger. Customers love them and they are a 1/3 of the price of air shamme and air logic. For $38 a piece I keep at least 3 extras at each location just to have in stock incase one gets ran over or abused.

    Old Super Wash

    Great job Our Town. I love how the American Flag stayed up the entire time until the new flag pole was installed. I wish this forum had a before and after section to show a wash remodel or auto remodel. That would be pretty cool. They could title it Where we started vs. Where were at!

    My machine is extended height and extended width. It can wash sprinters and duallys. Your bay probably is not tall enough but you may be wide enough for an extended width machine. The extra width along with the stainless steel led guide rails is probably why I dont have any issues with people...

    Mine is completely unattended 24/7. In the two years I’ve been running it I think I may have replaced a few wipers and one side mirror. The side mirror was questionable but it was a newer vehicle and the lady was really nice about it so I replaced it. My main worry when purchasing the machine...

    Pump backflow in Coleman filler tank

    Spend $25 and just replace it unless you will have to take off all the hoses, the tubing, the tee holding the push fittings, and the elbow on the right just to spin it out of there. Twice. Nothing I hate more than doing something two times. Let alone to try to save $25. Also that’s an original...

    Pump backflow in Coleman filler tank

    Your check valve that you have circled is bad. You can pick up a 3/4" low pressure check valve from Lowes. When you install it make sure you put it in the correct direction with the arrow pointing down. Your pump is still getting water from your rinse solenoids (red lines) at the bottom of the...

    cap 5cp2120 or 310 cap shooting off head????

    The only reason I can think of having a check valve there in that direction is if your weep is introduced after it or in the attic and they were trying not have it back flow into your tank. If that is the case thats an easy fix. Put a tee at the end of the pump HP line going out from the top and...

    There is no reason for that check valve to be there especially in the direction it is. It is pointless and doing nothing. Get rid to it.

    S/S Canadian style….

    That is awesome. As a cold climate operator that is nice. Around me though I’d have to buy a couple Tesla robots to patrol and keep the bums out at night 🤣

    If your looking for a good simple brush machine that cleans better then a tunnel. Take a look at Istobal. I always never liked brush IBA but I bought a Istobal few years back not knowing if I was gonna love it or rip it out after few months. I absolutely love it. It is a straight workhorse...
