    Unloader Replacement Help

    You will need to re-plumb a little bit to use the smc 555 regulator. The 555 are good regulators to use and worth the little time and $ it will take to re-plumb. You will have to add a tee to your outlet of your pump once you remove your unloader. The black hose will go to one port of the tee...

    If it were your car wash... New owner

    The previous owner lied to you, I don't care where in the country you are, your fixed costs to run a 2 bay wash are going to be more than $15k per year. Cost of capital? Insurance? Utilities? Heat in PA to keep your wash from freezing in the winter? Not trying to be a Buzz Kill here, just trying...

    SS HP wax

Both autos are in tertiary markets and have multiple tunnels nearby. We will be increasing our cost without being able to...

    SS HP wax

    Yep, they clean really good, we have a foam bar on one of the machines. Thinking about how to use 3x foam in the mix with these. We already use a ceramic 3x foam also, so maybe can work that into the wax mix somehow.

    SS HP wax

    May try adding ceramic to the SS side on our next price increase. Most of our sites we take over are so below market price wise that it usually takes us a couple years to get up to market pricing. We don't like to do more than 1-2 price increases per year and usually at the very least try to...

    SS HP wax

    Everyone who is using ceramic in the SS bay, what is your pricing? Did you increase your price when ceramic was added? Ceramic products are significantly more expensive than regular SS wax. Im pretty sure ceramic will get more use than wax also, which will drive up blended chemical costs on the...

    carpet shampoo

    We use odoban carpet shampoo concentrate from Home Depot @ 8oz per gallon of water. Looks good and works good. We’ve seen an uptick in usage after switching to this, I think due to the better show

    Goldmine cycle signal coming too fast

    yes, there are a lot of 24vac delay relays available that can do what you are looking for. Might be easier to ask the manufacturer if they can fix the programming to suit your needs before adding your own fix.

    What kind of credit card do carry? Magnetic Strip only, Tap only, Magnetic Strip and Tap

    All my cards have all 3, I use tap as the first try, if that doesn't work, I insert the card. Don't think I've used the mag stripe in years - an only then its if the CC terminal had an issue with the other 2 methods. I don't use my phone for payment - but the majority of my generation and...
