    It looks nice ... the simplicity can work for you. Kind of wondering about the 3D physical dimensions though?

    Theft of meter box doors, and looking for advise how to secure them better.

    Coach, Based on experience & my limited observations ... most of the thieves don't believe in keeping their trousers up with belts etc. My thoughts are that at least with coins if they are on foot they will be nicely weighted down. For sure they won't be able to put any of the coins in their...

    Interested in building a self service ATV Wash

    "It works for the democrats." They along with the "deep state swamp leaning" mainstream media ... the way they have been getting worse & worse ... that is a valid analogy!!! I might add some republicans to that statement too! Back to the specific original topic of "ATV MUD". We would much...

    Anyone use brass reusable fittings on your pumps?

    FWIW since you mentioned "inlet" ... if it is gravity feed ... introduction of air from an inlet quick disconnect or whatever inlet fitting is something to consider.

    Zoro Promos

    We just received our $200+ DeWALT 20VDC Grease Gun Kit & it clearly says on it "Proudly made in the USA with Global Materials".

    New Floor heat boiler

    It definitely looks different that the Raypak TP which I believe Raypak still sells?

    Rebuilding AirLift Magna Glides

    gpsoma, Is the big enough gain "speed" or "durability-long term cost" when it comes to replacing the Airlift Magna Glide Alaska door with an Airlift Roll up door??? The roll ups may have their own set of problems? The rollup XRS series??? maybe now they have been out long enough so long term...

    Rebuilding AirLift Magna Glides

    Wow. I had no idea that the Magna Glides were that spendy to buy & maintain. On the other hand ... looking at car washes over the years with rusty operator-chains etc with torsion springs might not be the better choice either. We bought & installed 24VDC ZAP operators from Airlift over 17...

    Poll: We use an App for our car wash

    I guess poll is closing in 4 minutes. I got an email just now from PayPal Venmo ... not sure if anybody uses the App-QR code process within their car wash app??? Intro rate 2.2% ... note intro stipulation ... appears to be some fine print involved.

    Observations on the election

    The "live streaming" view & like stats on YouTube tell a lot also! COMMENTS ARE FACILITATED which I took advantage of yesterday. Hopefully, the comments are not so numerous that the odds are too low to be seen. About the violence ... IMHO ... the never Trumpers seem to be the ones fomenting...

    Poll: We use an App for our car wash

    Not sure of the logistics but it would be great if some of us could "in house" write & "test" our own Android or IOS app. That way it seems like some of the dependencies would be a bit less. Outside connectivity could still be a "proprietary elsewhere" stickler though. I have read that there...

    Hi All. Noob from NY

    I used to own a couple of Subarus. The one with fabric seats got grossly stained & I was sure it was hopeless for getting out. I got a hold of a can of foam fabric cleaner from an automotive parts store.... I don't remember what brand. It thoroughly removed the stain totally & unbelievably...

    Zoro Promos

    Thanks washnvac, My luck is that ... the grease gun kit of interest states not eligible for any promo code. Other items in cart appear to accept the code though. I am taking the complete order elsewhere going with Dewalt instead of Milwaukee. I do try to make an extra effort to buy local...

    Kleen Rite Soaps

    Any specific flow meters besides Soapy's Rykos that anybody can recommend for self serve? We have the valve increase or decrease capability but now are just going by sometimes unreliable visual appearance of soap or wax usage from a possibly unreasonable customer. Some car surfaces for some...

    Kleen Rite Soaps

    Soapy, Out of curiosity ... I wonder if anybody is using (for soap or wax). flowmeters within their self serve bays or if it could even possibly make any sense at all on the self serve side.

    Fighting the Freeze During Winter

    IMHO, a lot depends on the elevation-how far north combined factors ... which can mean longer longevity of even below 0° F temperatures. I am sure some like us here in ND the winter operators' focus tends to be be on the 2 overhead doors for each bay. Specific current local competition in...

    Politicians on the take? One TX carwash

    ECKERT16, Do you have an updated summary on your situation for us now that a bit more time has gone by? My thoughts & where my heart is ... that what you are documenting along with support from John Stossel ... is 100% true. If it wasn't true ... it seems like there would be a lawsuit frenzy...

    Pushlok check valves

    The .3 cracking psi should be close enough if you are targeting 1/3of a psi. If not ... I wonder how many other brands of "tube push to connects" are available via an internet search? Waxman, I am not sure what the cracking pressure specs on other brands besides JG but it might be worth...

    Fill in the Blank: Owning a car wash in 2020____________________________________

    Heck ... darn ... here ... I thought I was shedding light on possible 2020 overconfidence & the fact that it seemed like some specific larger metro areas than our 132K population tended to have more Covid-19 restrictions on activities. I am sure most will agree that "context" can be important...
