Not the least bit surprised.

Not if you don't have 10g wire and a 30amp breaker. As stated before, if you have two motors and add a third you're not gaining 50% in performance. Due to hose and can limitations it's closer to 30%. It really comes down to customer perception. If you're rehabbing a really bad site with...

And they could easily be cooked by leaving a faucet or valve open 24/7. Same with electrical. They could have a handful of 100W bulbs burning day and night in the equipment room. Seen both done

Michael Jordan said it best when asked why he wasn't more of an activist "Because Republicans buy shoes too"

$500K? For that? In that location? Check back in a year and see if he comes to his senses.

Radical concept ;)

It's all over the board, to be honest. I've seen some operators decide to raise prices. Others haven't. It's absolutely driven by the local micro economy. The price you can charge in some areas of the northeast is in many cases double, at least, what you can charge in middle America. Here in...

The $1000-$1500 per bay per month is the number I have always seen throw around. From talking to good operators, it seems reasonable. In my opinion, the site is worth the dirt. If not used as a wash the building really has zero value. Assuming you are going to have to completely replace every...

See: Super Wash Inc. Still swear foam brushes aren't necessary.

Here in the great white north, customers notice hot water........especially when it's as cold as the buttcrack of hell outside. Yes.....some lunatics will wash their cars in a self serve bay in a blizzard.

Find out exactly what equipment is there. Contact the manufacturers and/or their reps. I have seen far too many washes bought by someone who didn't have everything closely examined and got burned....badly. There have been several manufacturers who have closed their doors over the last 15-18...

Good Job!

Ahhhh, the joys of carwashing.

So do I, but because I'm a freaking tightwad.

It doesn't.

What devices are downstream from the a fuse? One of those devices is failed/failing or the wiring to it is shorting out.

I strongly second this. Post several pictures if you can. It's easy, and very common, for a wash owner to overlook the incremental degradation of a site. Peeling, faded decals. Broken, nasty signage. Rough looking parking lot. Weeds in cracks. I've dealt with a ton of owners in your situation...

We typically recommend 1.5CFM per self serve bay.

The LED7 references 24VAC common for it's coin input and the LED6 references 24VAC hot. Make sure that one side of the button goes to the coin input of the timer and the other to 24VAC hot.

Little known info: Lots of single folks in Intercourse but as soon as they're married they are required by law to move to Blue Ball. It's not the cleanest layout I've seen. I'm not a fan of the flojet being that high above the outlet of the tanks. The compression fittings are leaking like...
