    Triple shine hydrominder mixing block

    I sent Randy a bunch of them several years ago. He may still have some. I've converted everything to 1/4" tubing. I have been installing dema tip holders and using single dema screw in tips in my hydrominders and it seems to work well to get the hyperconcentrates thin enough to use with just...

    AlamoBrand Carbon Filter (Model N2058)

    That's a fleck time based head, designed to backwash based on time set and the day pin. I am rusty but believe you adjust the time by pulling out on the knob and rotating. Don't sweat it too much if it's not working properly (as long as it isn't bypassing untreated water to the RO) I've got...

    Genius? or Dumb Super Wash Setup

    That setup might have been necessary to draw enough soap product through too if the soap was highly diluted.. I think a excessive water starvation might contribute to shortened seal life and premature head washout. I run my SS soap and wax tanks very strong and avoid throttling back my...

    Any Use Arcadian Products

    I know some people that use Arcadian and are happy with their results. At the show I talked to the chemist and he seemed very knowledgeable and a pretty good dude. I figured most IBA owners that ordered direct from the mfg. bought by the pallet. Nice discounts may be available at the order...

    Is an alkaline booster necessary

    No Idea what product you are using but I think your principle to add alkalinity (via booster) to a second pass of high to overpower the first pass of low is sound. But you will get a better looking car (shinier, glass looks better) if you can find a way to put some low back on the car (low pH...

    Presoaks Stacked Or Don't Stack

    I don't think there's a benefit from the two combining. I know many years ago some people claimed the heat generated when mixing the two together was beneficial. I tried mixing the two and found no measurable amount of heat generated from this. With rising utilities (water/sewer is 3 cents per...

    Mounting things on PVC wall panels

    I have J hooks and this has not been a real issue in my extrutech which is approaching 18 years old now. Good customer base though.

    TOUCHLESS AUTOMATIC DENCAR MEMBERSHIP?

    Not convinced if memberships are for everyone but the Dencar/Petit is working for many. Do it now and gain as much momentum as you can if you're gonna do it.

    Water softener installation - what needs soft water? Sizing?

    Depends on the age and size I guess. If it's got old electronics I'd be tempted to scrap it.

    Should I put a new razer in

    Not familiar with the M1 but I have two flex fives and they put out great cars. I know earlier models had limited programming flexibility but I'd say it's worth getting a tech to come look at the machine. The factory is in Bristol, Va and if that's not too far away you might could get a factory...

    YouTube Pinheads Putting Us At Risk?

    I will say that also they have done many operators a favor by making people aware of how good this business can be. As we know SS washes have fallen out of favor. I've had more interest in SS washes being purchased from younger people in the past couple of years than I have ever seen. And it...

    Best Card Payment Acceptor

    Cryptopay here but admittedly would prefer the Visual interface of Nayax or Monex. Both units seem to have their challenges according to posts I see here. It's time for me to make another decision as I either need to start buying taps or other units. Keno, what are you fees? I'm right at...

    Ryko Maxx 5 - FX3U

    I know nothing about the machine but what if you just eliminated the first return pass and moved everything up one pass? That would give you the pass you need. I would also consider just replacing the clear coat sealant pass with the proposed graphene pass. You shouldn't need both and...

    Are memberships for me?

    I have a friend who runs an express in a smaller town and I think a lower income level than yours. I think he has 700 members or so. His employees are not very aggressive at sales either.

    How to remove stains in bay

    All the previous posters mention products with the same active ingredient: Hydrofluoric acid. Almost every car wash chemical manufacturer makes it. Quest makes one called Aluminate and Arcadian Chemical makes one of the most well-know called Nu-Wall. It is also sold and marketed by truck washing...

    WW 2.0 error 100 and can eyes

    Based on the earlier discussion and potential problematic input card it could be card related so I wouldn't chase it right now. But if the card doesn't fix it it could be a prox switch or cable. If you know how check the DC voltage on that card and make sure you have 24VDC, or very close to it.

    Vac Issues

    You must have a transformer and relay mounted in the dome area. When you put a voltmeter on terminals 1 and 3 do you have 24V?
