    Petit or Oasis distributor

    Thats a good thing. You will have the experience and knowledge of all 3 machines. It's all about choices. I asked my wife about me having 3 differant girlfriends the other night. Bad choice. Didn't turn out how I thought it would. 👊 🤷‍♂️🤣

    Water Softener

    Looks great! I like the bases for cleaning. The SCH 80 plumbing makes me want to throw up though lol Im assuming that was the plumbers or owners choice 🤣

    Water Softener

    My first tunnel I bought I was watching cars come out looking great. I asked the owner what kind of soap does he use. He walked me to the back room and showed me a pallet of dawn dish soap. I only had touchless washes before that use a a lot of chemical to clean. I was completely surprised by...

    Petit or Oasis distributor

    Hello sir, When I mentioned Chinese machines I was referring to actually machines made in China (CBK and others) that sell for 30-50K. They are absolutely JUNK and a complete waste of money. Oasis, Washworld, Petit, and most AMERICAN manufactures make great machines. They all have there pros...

    Water Softener

    Do you have a touchless? If your IBA is a touchless then having soft water is not a choice. It will improve wash quality tremendously. Also you will use less chemical. Nobody will remember your decals but they will remember how clean or dirty their car came out. That will bring repeat customers...

    Petit or Oasis distributor

    Thank you for validating my point. The petit is only “fast” because of its configuration and passes. When you put two or three chemicals on at the same time then you reduce the number of passes needed. If you took a water wizard or a razor and did the same they would be practically the same...

    Petit or Oasis distributor

    In your climate I would defiantly go with a Oasis since their machine has a heated system integrated with it. They do not rely on just doors to keep it from freezing like a petit does. Also it is way FASTER then a Petit. Give Oasis a call they will take care of you.

    What is this dispenser called and where can i find it?

    They are called foaming blocks. Yours are used for triple foam from what I can tell. Every manufacturer makes their own version. Just call the manufacturer of your machine or tunnel to get them. Aftermarket companies like TSS and Vaughn also sell them.

    Can't figure out automatic doors

    The air lift controller does not switch your doors from manual to automatic. That is with the settings in your PDQ wash systems and is usually tied to a thermostat to determine when to use the doors and when not to. Check the settings again on your PDQ and then check and see what temperature the...

    Wiring Super Air Shamee

    Their diagram is wrong. A "motor starter" is a 2 piece unit (contactor + overload). A contactor by itself has no overload feature. You can use just a contactor or you can add an overload to it to make it a "motor starter". It's up to you. If you use just a contactor then the breaker will trip in...

    Arches on pay vacs

    My guys run the vacuum then use a stick of 1/2" pvc electrical conduit to unclog. They used to use fish tape but swear by the conduit and say it's a lot faster.

    Arches on pay vacs

    Thank you. Going back to Jim Coleman two motor combo vacs. The two motor is just as strong as the 3 motor arch vacs. The clean out doors are also completely secure. The locking latches for the clean outs on the gin sans are very poorly designed. You dont even need a tool to pop the latch pin...

    Arches on pay vacs

    I would not do arches on pay vacs. I spent 100K on Gin San arch vacs about 3 years ago and I'm replacing them within next month or two when the new vacs come in. Learned my lesson. Yes it was expensive. Vacs get clogged constantly. Do they look cool YES but if they dont work there good for...

    Treadle Switch Design

    You need to just add two sets of photo eyes and few relays to create a virtual treadle. Get rid of the floor treadle. What model control panel is on your typhoon? Does it have a DTAM or Red Lion HMI? Im assuming a DTAM.

    Air Shammee 1 vs 2

    Very simple fix. All you need to do is put two screws up there through the coupling and hose before the hose clamp. Have not had one come off in over 8 years and your not restricting any swivel motion since its a fixed mount coupling anyway.

    Whitewater Express

    You can find most Whitewaters on LoopNet for sale on a lease buy back for 4-5M. Can't wait for all these corporate PE washes to fail. Sure some do good but majority dont to justify a 5M build hence why there for sale. Just taking investors money and selling dreams. There a cancer to this...

    Hamilton Goldline IDTech upgrade doors

    I had a brand new commander that had this issue. It ended up being the reader. It would not disable the bill acceptor though but my machine was a commander. It would work for 10 cards in a row then stop working, Got it replaced and have not had an issue since. Im assuming you still have...
