    Digital Car Wash Advertising in 2023

    Keith & others, From your experience ... do Google Ads somehow have the ability to location target specifically ... like in our case ... dog owners &/or vehicle owners within a specific geographical proximity? For example ... it would be nice to not waste advertising dollars on dog or vehicle...

    Tankless Combi Water Heating & Floor Heat?

    It seems like some of the carwash-convenience-gas-diesel station ... would be good candidates for a tankless combi. I heard that a fitness center locally has proved that a tankless combi is working out well fo rthem. I notice the Navien NCR-250/150H uses stainless steel for both of its heat...

    Fleck Softener 2.0 vs 1.5 gpm refill flow control 1700 Brine Valve

    Thanks ... Good info to know. Travel time needed probably would not be ideal though. We ordered over $500 in pertinent parts for the twin Pentair-Flecks ... since they are 16 years old now that the Pentair-Fleck tech support superstar on Tuesday "over the phone" Andrew recommended that...

    Tankless Combi Water Heating & Floor Heat?

    I am in the process of getting local quotes on a Tankless Combi Water Heating & wall baseboard installation. For some reason locally there seems to somewhat a phobia for any brand of a Tankless Combi Water Heating & Floor Heat that is resulting in higher than normal bids. We are tempted to do...

    Fleck Softener 2.0 vs 1.5 gpm refill flow control 1700 Brine Valve

    I wonder how important it is to match the exact original Fleck gpm refill flow control 1700 Brine Valve? In other words... I wonder if it would create a problem on our softener system if we replaced brine valves that said 1.5 on them with 2.0 ones. Would it just mean it would refill the brine...

    U.S. Census Bureau Survey for Car Wash Income Categories?!

    I am sure that many of my fellow car wash owners have received in the mail ... what seems to go way beyond our 100% honest reporting for normal IRS record keeping & reporting requirements etc. Any thoughts? I think it goes into too much minutia requiring valuable resources going towards...

    Kleenrite Alternative

    Steve is another good guy at KR. I think most will agree ... no matter who or what supplier we work with ... to not rely on just verbal during transactions (orders). I do squirm though when too much effort (time factor) becomes necessary with written & pictorial proof ... 100% complete...

    Air compressor problem

    Some portions go back to 1987. Not sure if age is the only factor ... we notice anywhere some tubing is against or on top of each other ... there can be a gradual wear & eventually a leak from the abrasion! The longer lengths of tubing tend to be somewhat protected inside of a 4" PVC that we...

    Air compressor problem

    It maybe that your plastic tubing is newer making it also less likely to develop leaks!

    Air compressor problem

    So the SMC brand tends to be a bit better than the KR's John Guest brand when it comes to plastic push lock tube fittings???

    Air compressor problem

    It sounds like you stay on top of any slight leaks etc for that kind of "rarely see it running" performance!

    Car Wash Accounting - Operating Cash Reserve

    Even if ... not closed ...during an extremely bad weather winter like this winter here in parts of North Dakota ... income both gross & net for some of us up here in colder climates would tend to throw futuristic projections off! We are finally getting a bit of low 30s F° temperatures to start...

    Sometimes you get a lucky break!

    Kimberly, We had a rascal contractor crew once "upon a time" get extreme amounts of basement foundation sealing tar all over our two Alaskan polycarbonate doors... two hog hair brushes ruined in our tandem bay & also "much more difficult to remove than oil" on our FRP bay walls. It was like...

    Air Compressor - Breaker Tripping off

    rshiggaon, If were my problem. I would watch the pertinent air gauge to see exactly when the air compressor is shutting off at ... with its automatic on-off pressure switch. If that switch is intermittently failing ... allowing the pressure to get too high ... you may see simultaneously with...

    Security Cameras

    Just thinking out loud ... I wonder how many besides myself who are in a climate where both doors must be shut because of low enough temperatures ... who make sure that there is some type of "fan-heat strategically aimed" to clear the natural fog-steam that is created. That way the cameras &...

    Help with VFD for SS

    If it were my project...I would be concerned about the motor spec only showing 60 hz rather than a range of hz...as in 2-60 hz.

    Help with VFD for SS

    Like I said I could be wrong. I personally would call them and ask them about a lower speed setting on the vfd compatibility???
