A lot of electric utilites are requiring a soft start on 5 hp or more. It is no big deal. Just delete the starters from your equipment package, and get them yourself locally. I just did this on a new auto for my location. I installed 8 soft-starts--6 for the dryers, 1 for the 15 hp pressure...

Yes. You have a separate setting for the for the output #2. (check the directions sheet or go to the Dixmor website) You may set it to whatever you want. I set mine at 34 degrees for changeover. There is a 1 degree delay, therefore it will purge at 33. Then it has to go to 35 to change back...

At an early bird session we were discussing solar panels. I gave a website address for locating incentives for each state. That address was incorrect. The correct address is: www.dsireusa.org This database provides all current grants by state. I should have known better for trying to...

I had this issue quit often on an iba that has two mounted on the machine. I finally installed a solenoid on the air line that shuts the air off when the wash is not in use. I have not bought a valve since; has saved me a good bit of money.

You can order from Dultmeier. If you have a few washes you can get a bulk order, and they pay the shipping. When I used to get it from them, you had to order $3500 to get a free ship. It may be a bit more now, but it is worth a phone call if you want to use the product. I did switch to AA...

That was going to be my next answer, ofcourse!!

Do you mean it would go clear with no wax, when on the wax selection? Or did it stop soap and deliver wax?

OK...when you said changed solenoids I assumed just the repair kit parts like the plunger assembly. But if each valve is independant, and you changed them, then ofcouse it is not that. I will keep thinking......

My guess would be that it was the manifold block. The small hole where the solenoid plunger seats probably corroded over time. Therefore the plunger was not making a full seal when shut off; thus some soap was getting through when the high pressure was on. This would require replacment of the...

Better yet.....dispense $1 tokens only.

Location- Salisbury, MD- 13 bay (11 s/s; 2 ibas)- $4650 Location- Salisbury, MD- 6 BAY (4 S/S; 2 ibas)- $5125 -Also in Maryland you pay personal property tax on equipment you already own. This is about $10,000 for both locations combined. It will depreciate down to about $4000 in four years...

I would be out of business with that kind of tax bill. I am pi$$ed because I have a $20k bill for two washes in one county. It is just too much, for what you get in return. I do not mind paying my share, I just do not want to pay because other a$$es have run their companies in the ground, or...

I have requested a couple of times to install wells at different locations. I think it is silly for me to use chlorinated and flourodated water to wash cars. And ofcourse, I have to have a carbon filter to remove the chlorine for the reverse osmosis. What a waste! But everytime, the...

I use a .90 high security stock token from Van Brook valued at $1. They are about $.19 each. It is just a bit smaller than a quarter. Van Brook gives me a 100 mile protected radius around all of my locations; where they will not sell the same kind of token (metal content). I dispense 100%...

Something like a Exxon speedpass would be better. The customer would actually have a card they would wave in front of a reader. That should be much less expensive then RFID. You would have to set it similar to credit cards; with a max charge and/or when stop button is activated the charge...

That was absolutely neat-o!!

If it is an actual bulb, bulbs.com com has several 14 volt replacement styles.

OK.....you are saying your yearly real estate property tax bill is $60k???

I always tell them a minimum of $1.2M. That gets the jaw to drop! And that figure is just about right (as a minimum.) As you said, everyone thinks it is easy.

People are generally stupid. I would not do it. You know car wash customers do not read; therefore it will end up being your fault for their stupidity.
