    RV - Truck bay addition to SS wash

    Where did you get those booms for your gun and brush? How do you like them? Trying to figure out what options are out there and what’s best for semi/rv’s. Thanks

    Truck bay boom system

    Did you end up making something? I’m building a wash that will have truck bays and I’m trying to figure out how to do the guns/foamy bushes.

    I built an app in 5 minutes to stay organized-What Tools Are You Using?

    I use google sheets with my employees. They do a daily write up of what they did and it ends up in my email as well as always being saved in google sheets. Updates to my phone automatically and is free. I also do project lists on there so employees can check them off as they have time to get to...

    Floor heat question

    I'll also add that if it's a super old wash sometimes they used PVC to supply the manifolds. I had a leak at my wash and decided it was probably in the PVC sections underground and not in the actual "floor heat" loops. I used the old PVC lines basically as a conduit and put pex inside the PVC...

    Floor heat question

    I use these for constant pressure, if it's only a tiny leak and you use glycol I'd go this route but it sounds like your leak is bigger... https://www.supplyhouse.com/Axiom-DMF150-DMF150-Digital-PRESSURE-PAL-Hydronic-Mini-System-Feeder-4-6-Gallon

    Vac motors - 120 or 220v

    If existing power isn't an issue, what is your preferred motor? I'm getting new vacuums and have always tended to try and get higher voltage items. For example I have the 220 v air dryers instead of 120v. What is the reasoning behind the preference towards 220 over 120 for a lot of people?

    American Changer - The new "green stripe" hopper

    Do you know if you can bypass the sensor on the green stripe ones? Both my new ones that didn’t last long give the hopper low error.

    American Changer - The new "green stripe" hopper

    Has anyone had any issues with the new green stripe hoppers? I've gone through 3 of them now for basically the same issues. Optoblock errors and hopper low errors (when it's full). Yes, I've cleaned the plates and checked the eye but the error happens almost daily until changed out for a new...

    What size hose are you running? Normal claws at the end?

    Employees

    I've used Indeed. Set your daily spend limit to like $5 per day. Expect to go through hundreds of applicants before selecting one for an interview. Then keep doing that until you find someone you like. I have incredible employees and their applications and interviews easily stood out from...

    Cryptopay Tap Plus only (no magnetic readers)

    Good looking meter boxes! I did green LED light too as just a "hey the meter is still running" light. I've only had issues so far simply because people beat on the light trying to get it to shut off thinking it's some sort of button. And yes there's signage on the meter box with an arrow and...

    Arch Vacuums

    Or if it typically clogs at the joining of the the boom and the hose why hasn’t anyone created an adapter so that the hose can somehow connect on the inside of the steel to it tappers up in the direction of suction or maybe a sleeve adapter to it’s all exactly the same size?

    Arch Vacuums

    I didn’t know they come as 1.5” hose. I’ve always used 2” on regular style vacs. Does that mean they only make the steel boom in 1.5”?
