I see a lot of retired people who become drivers moving cars from one state to another. A good way to see the country on someone elses dime if you like driving and seeing the USA.

Check all your circuit breakers. I keep a list of all the 2 digit codes for my rykos in each cabinet in a zip lock bag for quick reference.

I have a friend who sells NEBO flashlights. They make a several great rechargeable lights. I keep several at the washes. I even have a 12,000 lumen flash light that will light the night sky or several acres.

I would guess minimum at 200K. More if you need to upsize utilities. 2 inch water line is advisable. Depending on weather needs if you are in cold weather you will need doors and heaters that could add 30K. Bay size should be 16 feet wide by at least 30 feet long with at least 10 foot high doors...

My mosmatic hoses have also kinked in a few spots. I was real concerned with them kinking and not letting weep water flow that would end up in a frozen line. But this last winter I did not have one freeze problem in 11 SS bays.

I am going from $3 for 3minutes 30 seconds, to $4 for 4 minutes soon.

Congrats Mac.. You have always been a real asset to this forum and your wisdom will still be needed. Enjoy

I went to the industrial Hose store yesterday to get some small length of hoses and some hose clamps. They did not have any hose clamps in stock. Short supply means increasing prices.

I sold one of my washes a few years ago that I had built on a old landfill used for construction debris. Discount tire paid for a phase 3 environmental study before buying the location to tear it down. They spent over 100K to do the study. They drilled several core samples down to bedrock. They...

Your close to Etowah vallley so you might call them and they could give you some insight into what might fix the problem.

You don't want the air pressure that injects air into the foaming brush solution set higher than the air pressure going to the flojet. Set the injection air to about 20 psi less than the air to the flojet.

Use overhead radiant heaters in the auto bay. Heats the objects not the air. Floor heat in a Auto bay does not work as well.

I think from now on when people are in my bays doing stuff and not paying I am going to tell them all time in the bay must be paid for weather using the services or not. $1 per minute with a $50 up front deposit. I will refund any unused time. I doubt many will want to pay me.

Went to one location yesterday and had all this happen in a 10 minute period. SS bay 1 a guy living in his car had his hood up and was sitting in his seat. He opened the door and told me he was just making his ham sandwich and waiting for the engine cleaner he brought with him to clean his...

ICA did a study years ago about carry off water from a car wash. As I recall it was about 35%, I would call the ICA and see if you can get the study so you have documentation.

I use a 50/50mix of water and low fume Muratic acid. brush it on the plastic and let it sit for a minute or two. Then scrub with a soft brush. and rinse with water.

What size of boiler do you have? How many square feet are you trying to heat? I think Huron Valley boilers has a chart you could use to determine how much boiler you need for the square footage and the location you are in.

I saw my father once respond to a customer he had fired who said" I will tell all my friends not to come here"..... He said " Good, If they are anything like you I would not want them anyway."

For anyone adding a token vendor to their IBa pay station I would advise one that the customer has to push a button on the token vendor to receive the token. Many people just leave them and other folks scoop them up. It will pay for itself in the cost of tokens in a year. I had a good talk with...
