If buying used dryers as original poster mention understand that Premier made an impeller design change in 2019. This was in response to impeller failures. Weld failures would result in the impeller exploding. They do offer an impeller replacement program but the details of this program are...

I recommend checking out Twin City Fan and New York Blower. They both are industrial fan manufacturers with real engineering departments (they can provide you with fan curves for comparing speed, air volume, and HP needs) offering car wash dryers. Some carwash manufactures source their dryers...

Sounds like an arch rotate issue, given the arch is facing the exit and not making the turn to come up the passenger side. So this could be 1) bad swivel 2)bad arch position prox 3) bad bridge pulse with bad bridge home end of track limit switch I’ve listed possible cause in the order I...

Sounds like your end of track limit switch might not be working or out of adjustment ? Did the carriage keep trying to move forward to find the front of the car against the rail stop safety, causing the VFD over current condition? The rainmaker should 1) get treadle input 2) move carriage until...

Some photo eyes have a normally close and a normally open signal wire. You might have the wrong signal wire for your photo eyes landed at the open terminal block. If so this would reverse the logic of the photo eyes. What photo eye is being used? If you remove the photo eyes from the system you...

Thank you. Sounds like I will move forward with this. Any reason to not go with the new tap plus? Or should you still get a swiper and tap plus?

Any reasons why I shouldn’t move forward with a crypto pay retrofit on goldline paystations? I’m thinking of going with a swiper and tap readers. Should I be expecting reliability and support issues mixing manufacture hardware? I’m still running insert swipers from Hamilton with DAN, they work...

Invest option: $800k down payment if earning 9% would be making you $72k/ year. Assuming you don’t touch your investment for 15 years and reinvest the earned interest, you would have $2.9m. Buy car wash: $800k down, $240k NOI, $172k / year loan, cash flow $68k/year. Assume $10,000/ year for...

I recieved a charge back today for a partial authorization obtained. I assume this is because the pre authorization amount of $15 was less than the total amount $27.25. Is anyone else having issues with charge backs when cryptopay combines multiple transaction with only one pre authorization? I...

Thank you, I have done some more testing based on the feedback. Nozzle size does seem to be a factor and does knock the foam down, larger nozzles allow for lower pressures and thicker foam. More pressure seems to help overcome the nozzle knockdown some. After cranking up the flowjet to 80 psi...

Anyone running tri foam as a low pressure function on their high pressure gun? If so how do you have it set up? After some preliminary testing with a flow jet with product and air T’ed together with some steel wool stuffed in nozzle. I can get foam but inconsistent. I would like to add a tri...

Some details on this from Hamilton. I’m very disappointed the customer must follow a sequential step process to successfully complete a transaction. For me this is a not a solution. I’m bummed as I was holding out for this upgrade. Looks like Dencar retrofit will be the answer for emv...

Has anyone tried running steel core belts on their Washworld or PDQ machines? Looks like these can be purchased for a fraction of distributer price and are readily available from multiple sources. I’m curious if anyone has experience with these vs fiber core belts.

Considering adding crypto tap to my Wash Select II. Anything Issues I should know about beforehand? I have seen some reports of odd pay station behavior once tap was added but these reports where around the release date of crypto tap. Hoping these issues have been resolved? The Cryptopay...

Thanks. After some additional testing I have a sensortron working properly. Using the 24v common from the goldline as the pulse signal allows the proper low voltage signal needed by the goldline controller.
