    Cat 3535 Manifold Repair

    It was vilco. I sent only one to them. The orings would not stay in place. Never could get it to work right. Have stayed with Kleen-Rite ever since with no issues.

    Thermal relief valve question

    I use the thermal relief valves. Mostly because I have some CAT 623 pumps. When someone leaves that running without the trigger pulled, it heats up really quick. Within 60 seconds or so, it typically starts blowing out to bring in lower temp water. Both hot & cold are gravity fed.

    FRP question.

    All my locations are drilled with the plastic rivits. The holes are 1/16" larger than the rivet, to allow for movement with the varying temperatures and moisture. I would think if you glued them, they may buckle with the extreme temp swings. Oldest location is 22 years, and I have never had to...

    Watts 009 backflow

    Can not help your issue, but my town just instituted yearly inspection of these. $400 per wash. Just another nice expense for us rich business owners! :mad:

    Ginsan gs402 weird timer issue

    I had this same issue at one of my locations using slugbusters. Ended up using the slugbuster to trigger an ice cube relay, which inturn made dry contact pulses to the timer. This solved my problem. (not sure about your pulse button) I have the same timers and acceptors at other locations...

    World Pay SNEAKY review trackers fee $$

    That is just shady business practices. They know that no one takes the time to read all the crap on those statements. I was just considering going to Cryptopay. That will be a big heck NO for now until they find another processor. When I spoke with a tech at Cryptopay, he said they knew about...

    This is a dumb question but I’m new to the business

    Remove the belt, then pull the pump forward a bit. Tighten bolts, then spin belt back on. (Be sure breaker is off before you do this, though. Do not want you to lose a finger) I never loosen bolts when putting belts on. You just spin old one(s) off, and spin new one on.

    Gas Prices..

    Last time gas went above $4 in Delaware (August 2007), the business took a straight decline downwards for the next 5 years. This time is a little different, as there is not a banking and housing crisis. Anyhow, with the cost of everything we need at the car wash increasing we have decided to go...

    How far can Electric SUV Travel on a full charge

    I disagree, MAC. No way practical. We can not supply enough electric now across the U.S., but we are going to be able to charge all the EVs ? How about all those folks stuck on I-95 in Virginia in the snow storm a few weeks ago for over 24 hours. Would you have wanted to be in a electric car...
