    Maintenance on a Mark VII touchless

    What kind of maintenance can I do to make this older touchless perform better? I’m fairly certain the previous owners only fixed breakdowns and never did maintenance. Some of the applicators for the triple foam seem to be clogged for sure, the vfd broke and was put in full power at all times -...

    Center boom maintenance

    A couple of the center booms are hard to turn. What kind of maintenance can I do to these to make easier to use? Looks like there is a wheel of some sort up there, do those require replacement at certain intervals?

    Latches for clean outs on Fragramatics

    A lot of the latches on the vacs at the wash are either loose, bent, or broken from age and use. The slots are worn out also. What are my options for repair on this without spending money on the latchless kits? Vacs have been neglected like the rest of the wash.

    Appraisal Value

    There should also be a formal rental agreement on paper in place and on file

    Appraisal Value

    To take it a step further. Rent should be in line and provable to market rent. This is to avoid issues with the IRS for converting ordinary income to passive at a greater rate than market rent, and to avoid issues with the aforementioned LLC protection

    Appraisal Value

    Joswhaha is correct. Also, no rent transaction could negate your LLC liability protection you are seeking with 2 LLCs. The court could find that you are actually operating as one company since their is no formal rent, and a real landlord wouldn't allow a $0 rent. Piercing the corporate veil. I...

    Seperated Chemicals

    Maybe can home make something similar to this concept for the 5 gallon container. https://www.amazon.com/Fluoramics-55-Gallon-Drum-Mixer/dp/B09V9BF33X My question, how do you deal with the foam when mixing soaps and other foaming chemicals?

    Seperated Chemicals

    What size are the containers? They make drum mixers that attach to a drill and fit in the hole of a 55 gallon drum, and I am sure others too. They are a little pricey.

    Need about 50 padlocks keyed alike

    Thank you for all the suggestions - I will take a look at them. These are for all the lower security stuff at the wash - vac cleanouts and dumpsters mainly. These will not be securing anything of value, just mainly to keep the rift raft out and keep people from dumping their house trash in our...

    Need about 50 padlocks keyed alike

    Hi group, looking to buy about 50 padlocks keyed alike for our vacuum clean outs, dumpsters, and lower security stuff. The locks on there now are old and giving us trouble, some don’t open and some only sometimes open. Where should I be looking to get these? I have seen lock America thrown...

    Nayax with ACW5?

    So the customer can choose the wash before or after making payment on the Nayax? I see in the pic you provided you have instructions to choose wash first. Is the pre-auth for the amount of the top wash? We know how many customers read instructional signs...

    Cat 310 low pressure and pulsating like crazy

    So the copper washers and plunger backup rings are on backorder until November at Car Wash Superstore. Will see if Kleen-rite or other source has them in stock. If I can't find any, I will just take the pump apart and replace the plunger o-rings and hope for the best. I can probably anneal the...

    Pre-Soak Back Feeding

    I don't think it is a swing valve as it is mounted vertically. Will check if I see any markings on it tomorrow. All the valves were removed and inspected today. Total of 3 split orings and one valve was completely missing o-ring and backup ring. Broken backup ring was found in the pump o-ring...

    Pre-Soak Back Feeding

    Thanks for the guidance. Opened up the valves in the CAT 5CP pump and 2 had split o-rings, replaced all the valve o-rings for good measure. 2 valves separated while pulling them out, waiting for the new reversing pliers I ordered to get those out, should be here tomorrow. Will report back once...

    Pre-Soak Back Feeding

    Hi Group, new problem popped up today, hoping you guys/gals can guide me in the right direction. Noticed that when pre-soak is selected in one of the bays, it is back feeding liquid and air back to the plain water holding tank for the HP soap and wax. Seems like it is only that one bay that is...
