    F4 tornado hit our wash

    As has been said, the adjuster works for the insurance company not you. I've had the distinct displeasure of having to speak to several over the years. They have limited to zero knowledge of mechanical equipment in general and car washes in particular. The good ones will defer to the...

    Coin Box Heater.

    If your current heaters have been accomplishing what you want but just have stopped working, replace them with the same size you currently have. No need to re-invent the wheel. I've seen more than a few go overboard with heaters and have to increase the size of transformer and/or generate so...

    Coin Box Heater.

    It should. We build our doors standard with 2-10W heaters, usually mounted vertically. Sometimes we or the customer may add an additional 10 or 20. If you already have heaters, and they accomplish what you want, just replace like with like.

    Coin Box Heater.

    Nope. 80W/24v=3.33 amps. You only have just a smidge over 4 amps available from the transformer.

    Vacuum Fire on New Vacuum

    That "smoke" comes out at around 60 seconds. That's exceptionally fast for even the cheapest motors I've seen to overheat.

    Newbie - Buy a car wash?

    One thing to realize is that Hydrospyray equipment most likely is going to be an issue. The PLC controls not just the automatic but all the self serves as well. I have helped a few customers over the last year with that system. They could not get help from the manufacturer so reached out to me...

    Vacuum Fire on New Vacuum

    Why was there "smoke" coming out from under the dome when the person was vacuuming the white car? If it's just dust, you have a filter issue. Too much dust in a motor will cause a fire just like in the video.

    Give me a call. I'm a filthy rotten capitalist pig and would have no qualms about taking your money as several members of this site will attest to.

    Possible to Have High Pressure Soap Added After Pump

    Do. Not. Do. This. Here's a simple analogy: A landlord offers you 6 months free rent on a house, but you have to remodel the house. He gets to pick every aspect of the redesign but you get to pay and do the work. A year later you've really made the place nice, the property value is the highest...

    Looking to purchase existing car wash

    For the equipment, get at least one complete inspection of all equipment by a good technician. I've seen more than a few buyers get burned because the financials "looked good" but they were buying a site with equipment at the end of it's useful life.

    Yup. And the same problem exists. The batteries and how to charge them efficiently.

    Minimum Volt Amp Transformer for 1 bay with 10 push button

    Ohm's law says not to exceed 4 amp for the fuse. That setup really shouldn't pull much over an amp in and of itself and usually less. The majority of the draw will come from what that board is turning on(solenoids, contactors, logic controls, idiot lights, etc). If you have a bill acceptor...

    Meter Boxes for dummies thread

    The green wire from the Nayax goes to the white/black(pin) wire of the LED6. The two blacks go to 24VAC common and the two reds go to 24VAC hot.

    Minimum Volt Amp Transformer for 1 bay with 10 push button

    What is the VA rating of the transformer. If it's 100va you don't want a fuse larger than 4 amps (100/24=4.17amps)
