    Dema valve?

    I only know of the Dema valve right by the pump. Is there another one? I do have a weep system but this is considerably more pressure than weep. Could it still be weep? Thanks

    Dema valve?

    I have a ss bay where the water occaisionally just runs on it's own with about 10 lbs. of pressure. The logical culprit is the Dema valve, right? Thanks

    Ryko Softgloss add-ons

    Mark, I notice the arches as an option on new machines. What is the function of the arches?

    Ryko Softgloss add-ons

    My top wash is currently $7. I'm not sure if bug juice and rainx warrants a $3 bump. I'd like to have 1 more thing but I can't think of what it should be.

    Ryko Softgloss add-ons

    I think I'll do just that. I'm going to do rain-x and bug spray for sure. Any other suggestions that don't cost $20k? Thanks

    Ryko Softgloss add-ons

    How much did it cost you to add the rain-x? Is the tire shiner a Ryko add-on or something free standing? I don't really have any extra length to work with. Thanks

    Ryko Softgloss add-ons

    I already have all of those things and I am very happy with my softgloss. I'm just looking to add something new so I can get my average price up. There is a relatively new touch free at a gas station just up the street that was down most of the winter. I am considering making them an offer. I...

    Ryko Softgloss add-ons

    There are a couple of updates to the softgloss that were pitched to me several months ago. One was rain-x but I can't remember the other. I have tri-foam and wheel scrub but am thinking of something new to get the price up on my top wash. Has anybody added any new bells and whistles to their...

    Touchless automatics

    The price and availability of parts is also a very important consideration. If you can only get a part from 1 place they can (and will) charge you what they want.

    air line into clutch on Ryko

    Duh! You would think by now I would know that the Mac valve controls the airflow! What a simple minded creature I am! I'll replace it as soon as my customers will let me. We had snow last week so they are desperate to wash off the salt. I'm happy to oblige them. Hopefully my compressor can take...

    air line into clutch on Ryko

    Ok, as it turns out the clutch air is not my problem. It seems that there is air escaping from my soap nozzles all of the time. I assume that there is some sort of air solenoid that is supposed to keep that from happening. It is on the "drivers side " of the machine and there is a little plastic...

    air line into clutch on Ryko

    Thanks. I did finally get into the bay without a customer. I was surprised that I couln't hear the air leak. Is it only leaking when it's spinning?

    air line into clutch on Ryko

    What purpose does the air line serve that goes into the clutch on a Ryko Softgloss? My clutch is slipping (I guess) and has pulled the air line loose. I am still able to wash cars and have had a line all day so I have not really been able to look at what is happening. I hate to shut it down...

    Ryko SoftGloss Clutch kit

    Does anybody know what happened to Dirt's pictures? I think I may need to do the same thing to mine.

    Pro Forma Projection Help

    One of my objections to almost all of the pro formas that I saw are that they did not take competition into account at all. I don't think that there is anywhere left that doesn't have some level of competition and that has to be accounted for. It's a really tough time to get into the cw...

    rain barrel

    I was just planning on putting it on the trailer and filling it up at the house. We had lots of rain last year but the 2 previous years we had none. The bulkhead would work but I wasn't planning on removing the top of the drum. I've never tried the soaker with anything but the pressure from the...

    rain barrel

    I want to use one of my empty 55 gallon drums to make a rain barrel to water my wife's garden this summer using a soaker hose. I saw one last fall that had a spigot that just threaded into the drum. I can't find such a spigot. Does anybody have any idea where you can get one or have another idea...

    Ryko SoftGloss Clutch kit

    I would submit that the repair guys lost all credibility when they tried to blame it on not using Ryko chemicals. It seems like the rear ocillate would help. Mine will occaissionally get tangled in a trailer hitch but never with each other. Did you go for the first 1.5 years before this started?

    Why did they sell it?
