    Foam Brush Hose

    Randy &/or others, We might try to get 50' of that specific hose. It sounds great. But ... since we do not have any crimping tools ... I wonder what is the next best way to put NPT threaded end fittings on cut sections of it???

    Ginsan sensotron returns coin

    We have similar coin mechs (Parker) that accept dollar coins & quarters. Usually any problems are taken care of with blowing tiny specks of lint on the coin path.

    Unique Multifunction Timer Relay Usage Suggestions?

    I just received three (of the below multifunction timer relays today. I have a use for one on a laundromat project. The reason for this post ... is that I seem to remember some posts here mentioning the use of TIME DELAY RELAYS in car washes. This relay certainly is a bit more than just the...

    Leaks in radiant floor piping

    I would be a little nervous about its in-line pressure gauge warning. On the other hand ... maybe after the gauge is unplugged ... the stop leak will not re-plug because it has already done its job? BTW ... It possibly looks like a less cost radio wave based Walabot device with its phone app...

    Cryptopay Swipe vs. Tap ?

    A few years ago I was at a local cybersecurity workshop for small businesses co-sponsored by UND & SBA. There were some real zealots there who seemed to think that phone app payment was the future. The main speaker from SBA was a former FEMA admin shared some of the cybersecurity pitfalls in...

    Lazy rednecks?

    Our cameras tend to go back way longer than 5 days. Even so ... at some point it seems like an owner (lacking in unlimited resources) should be compensated for our "loss of time" responding to a "blatant" FALSE REPORT!

    Cryptopay Swipe vs. Tap ?

    I am a bit curious as to how many car washes successfully use a type of phone pay as an option? Maybe a QR code could facilitate that???

    Anyone use Hydraflex Evo?

    We looked into hydra-flex before finalizing all the build on our dog wash. The issue we had was the add'l space requirements involved for hydra-flex vs optimizing injector action. Near zero space requiring injectors might need more preventive care such as timely replacing old (no longer soft...

    How do I add a buzzer?

    We programmed our PLC dog wash with a grace period that counts down on the large touchscreen display. I think a "grace period" has proven to be worthwhile IMHO. Especially in combination with some kind of display showing the grace time!

    Lazy rednecks?

    I am pretty sure that clean up was by far easier than the "most horrific tar mess ever ... both polycarbonate Alaskan doors ... over all the walls, hoses, hogs hair brushes etc. by a local young contractor-real estate developers' foundation wall concrete crew. One of the 30 year oldish...

    Quick connection lock

    In colder climates, I can see where the quick disconnect could also make "blow out easier" bypassing the nozzle that slows down the blow out of the specific line.

    RO System

    Specialty Equip way back in 1987 installed a chlorine resistant system. We have a cellulose acetate RO membrane. The good news is no need for carbon. The bad news is that we are forced to maintain an acid pre-treatment. Hopefully, I have gathered enough info here on the forum to transition...

    Lazy rednecks?

    Bricks, I just learned something today. Not having actually owned an automatic ...I thought that only self service bays had garbage from pickup bed problems!

    Dixmor led 7

    I am a Dixmor led7 fan ... but out of curiosity ... can someone explain why anyone would order the serial version? Just wondering how common is that serial firmware actually used in the real Dixmor & other coin payment methods world. Cryptopay has gone in the direction of the the laundromat...

    Freaking masks

    Thank you MEP001 ... I am glad you asked & I see others are also seeking to be educated rather than just being indoctrinated. OK specifically ... better than Biden's & his cronies' ... puppets who pretend that some citizens are not making a huge sacrifices using their private resources to show...

    Freaking masks

    What some of us better citizens ... go through to help educate ... despite poor leadership from some in govt at all levels & the more crappy within the media. To understand the fear part a bit better ... when Covid 1st came on the scene there was an intense push in North Dakota for CONTACT...

    Crying out loud! Shut down.

    I might be wrong but another consideration could possibly be if you sell your car wash ... maybe your grandfathered in much smaller box will no longer be allowed when a new owner comes into the picture.

    Freaking masks

    I was in Sam's Club about 4 days ago ... I was really surprised at the manned sampler booth towards the entrance as I walked in. The young lady at the sampler booth ... had what I thought to be an "unnecessary fear" in her eyes as she insisted upon giving me THREE 3M-N95 masks.

    Crying out loud! Shut down.

    I tend to agree with Randy on his statement about a possible under sized situation etc. If the electrician &/or engineer insists on a whole new panel ... you might want him to oversize enough to possibly add a beefy enough Electric Vehicle (EV) fast charging outlet sometime in the future. I...
