Diana: I own 3 car washes in the Wichita area. The same low life stole 8 of mine @ Derby wash. Have him on camera but no tag had rag on it. Derby police have video. Strange, SE Wichita wash I have found 3 JEA coin boxes and security bars like new in field w of wash. Mine were all there. Last...

Haven't had that problem with pit dirt. But the "Bud" really grows from the VAC dirt. A disabled vet cleans my vacs, fixed him up a place and some screens to go through the dirt and take a magnet to the dirt. Eighty + vacs so he is pretty busy. I cleanup with a frontend loader and put it in my...

After "getting to old for this" need to go to the fun side of this business. A fellow came up and said "Hey those vacs don't work" Three of them. .75 start with quarters or one token. Well this fellow put a .25 in each vac, which is .75total. Thinkn he really couldn't be that dumb I put in two...

24" x 16" will get you in. But, pit has to be deep enough to manuver the lower arm. My pits are 800 gal. two loads when full. They are open. I have one wash that has two small openings, what were they thinkn? It is sucked. May try and cut a larger opening as to use the clam machine. I have a...

Twenty five years and I have seen Deers gutted, fish gutted in my wash bays. Two AM my cameras caught a couple of fellows butchering a four to five hundred pound calf. They just cut the little fellow up and left the inturals behind. Tag cam got them. They just went to the country shot a calf and...

Buy the note. Take 1st pos. and take the wash for half the asking. It would cash flow at four to five hundred K nicely. jjw

I have a 450. Stays busy. Might check as to where you can deposit dirt! I lined the box with 3/8" plastic helps dirt to slide out and no rusting out. Had to rebuild bucket arm and clam bucket once. Works great. jjw

Scottv; Yes, just plan ole cow licken salt blocks, stackum in the tank. As far as cleaning the tank, probably could just forget it and the resin cleaner also. It is just something I do to buy a little prevention insurance. Very little if anything in the brine tank. Have a great week! jjw

Been using salt blocks for fifteen years with no problems. The fifty pound block is 99.9% pure in the sticker. Cost from 3.50 to 3. 80 each. Clean out tank every other year, not much residue. Run resin cleaner once a year. Works for me. jjw

I have a ShurVendPlus VISI-COMBO unit that I bought from Jim (Uncle Sam). Works great, well built and great customer service. Put a large sign next to it advertizing cold pop and water. Not much profit in pop/water, here is the "but" it keeps the customers happy and gets them looking in the...

Rudy: IMEG tips produce a larger droplet of water. More mass = more energy transfered to surface. Drop a shot put ten feet and it will carry a lot of energy to the surface. Drop a nerff ball ten feet and not much affect. I use them with measurable results. Have a good day. jjw

A quote from 1962 with a fellow named Ray. He was asked why he though he could make money by selling hambugers. Ray replied " I'm not selling hambugers I'm buying dirt." Remembering this has made me a succesful business man. Location, what is the value of the dirt at your choosen location if...

RPH is dead right. Caustic beads are cheap and work great for cleaning engine blocks and ovens. All paints have oils in them and what caustic does when activated by heat is remove the oils and any wax that might be on the finish. I use the KO product 9115 powder @ 400 to one for a presoak and...

I have a four bay SS truck wash. Yes they are a mess. You just have to get on to them at every turn. I have a skid plate cleaner at the shop next to the wash, the regulars just come over and ask for it with a twenty dollar bill deposit and just sit it on the plate and let it work and the time...

Pressure over volume, it all starts at the tip. You have to determine what you want. IE: Truck wash = 5 to 10 gpm @ 2000 psi. Car wash = 3 to 5 gpm @ 1000 to 1500 psi. Go to the charts and select a tip for your application and customers. Work your way back to the pump and set rpm to match the...

Buzzie8: Don't do it! Car wash detergents aren't that difficult. Here is the catch, 11372 pages of local, state, and fed. regulations will hammer you. I owned a Industrial supply co. for a number of years and handled a large varity of chems. Some were bad, bad and worst. The chem. enginners...

Is your system drawing from a resevor with a float valve? Does your system have check valves at the boom or in the mechanical room? Do you have dema valves controling your soap supply? Sounds like design problem maybe. Presoak may be clearing out of your manifold when you turn on the rinse...

Buss: komfg.com, product 9115. Raining here and cold 34 deg. Have a great day! jjw Oh by the way. The business end is at the tip or the delievery end of the business. Titrate be it SS or IBA at the tip and to activate Ph 110 deg. That's it.

Bubble: A sign next to the CC reader attached to the coin box. The sign states first swipe three dollars for six minutes and following swipes are one dollar for two minutes. IE: swipe swipe = four dollars. After card swipe about five seconds it's accepted or rejected. Big time will display...
