    What is this?

    0000 steel wool and Windex.

    Old contactor issues

    I'd spend the extra $120 or so and get a contactor and thermal overload set.

    Water softener for my home...recommendations?

    It's not a filter. Just use a softener and quit trying to derail threads for your own purposes. You can start your own thread where the softener salesman you're talking to can answer your questions.

    Last coin alert beeper

    Except that horn isn't weatherproof. It'll probably last a long time as long as no one sprays water into it. I'm surprised it's not loud enough in the box with the speaker facing the coin slot. IMO it's plenty loud like that.

    Changer Problems

    You may have to take the faceplate off the old one.

    Self-Serve High Pressure Powder Recommendations

    It's probably not very available to you, but I use Red Hot from Scotch Plaid. It retails for $118 per box. One lasts me about two weeks. It doesn't need a foam additive.

    What does health insurance cost on open market?

    I can get health insurance through my county pretty cheap, I think it's $150/month but I doubt it has very good coverage.

    Any Self-Serves for sale in Greater Cincinnati area?

    Same here too. There are washes that are not viable to operate, so you would think they'd sell for land value or less since the building needs to be bulldozed and the pits dug up. Nope, they're asking 2-3 times what it should realistically be worth. I've made reasonable offers on several and...

    Water softener for my home...recommendations?

    I haven't dealt with removing iron and sulfur so I can't help with that, but if you're like most people and don't have a lot of water use at night I'd go with a small single-tank commercial unit with a 2 or 3 cubic foot capacity. A larger resin bed will do a better job of softening. You can...

    Foam brush not foaming like it should

    So it was the first thing suggested.

    If it’s not broke, don’t fix it …BUT…

    It will just leak. That type rarely fail, and when they do they fail to open when you need them to. I just remove them.

    Loitering

    I always ask first. "Would you mind pulling out of the bay to dry? There are people waiting for a bay." I am zero tolerance for any resistance to that.

    Should I be concerned...

    I would have to see the whole roof to tell if it's something I could do by drilling and running the heavy gauge Unistrut. I still haven't learned to weld, and I wouldn't weld it back the way it is now. I know a welder, probably the one who erected the steel of your wash, but he's also too busy...

    Foam brush not foaming like it should

    The chemical is too weak. You should be getting rich blue suds.

    Should I be concerned...

    The arm looks damaged too. If someone pulls down on it, it will get wedged and might not spring back up. I don't see the Dralco boom assembly on Kleen-Rite's site. Since the spindle mount is welded up there, it won't be easy to replace. I use the heavy 12 gauge Unistrut to mount them and I...

    Should I be concerned...

    Someone hit the boom to bend it like that. The spindle will have to be replaced. This is the correct one: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-65791-dralco-d2744-sub-ss-flush-mount-base-stainless-steel.aspx Edit: That boom is wrecked. You need to replace it all. The one you linked is made by JE...

    Foam brush not foaming like it should

    That system needs to be cleaned. The liquid in the tank is probably all broken down and slimy. The bowl on the filter before the pump is black when it should be clear. For some reason the valve on the Hydrominder isn't open all the way which can cause it to not draw enough chemical.

    Things Just Got Real

    For what exactly, another sales pitch? Are you not able or willing to tell what Touch4Wash can do that Coinless can't for others to see? FWIW I was lied to years ago by a salesman. I asked a list of questions and he answered "yes" to everything I asked, and none of it was correct.

    Loitering

    I can choose a criminal trespass notice which is a year, or a criminal trespass warrant which is lifetime. If a person knows, they can refuse to ID for a warrant which makes it useless, so I'll push for a notice, then they have to provide ID. Pushing for a notice got one guy arrested and his...

    Things Just Got Real

    You definitely turned it into an advertisement without answering any questions. You've already shot me down once when I asked about a QR code customers can scan to turn on a bay or vac or to select a wash. Tell me something Touch4Wash does that Coinless can't.
