Howdy y’all I have 1 bay that started pulsating when on high pressure. The pressure bounces from maybe 850-1000 and it is noticeable at the gun and at the pump. Is this a common issue I could use a little guidance?

Thanks guys, I have been working on this a little today and it appears pretty straight forward. It looks like the reject water tees into 2 valves, one that sends the reject back through the membranes and one that sends the reject out of the system. The valve that sends the water out of the RO...

Yes, that pressure tank is disconnected, it was for a water filling station that is no longer in use. Where does the reject water come from? Is the reject from the bottom of the 2nd membrane the water passes through? There is a tee there with one line going to the storage tank and one back...

As far as water quality my TDS is in the 70s after the RO. My hardness from the city is about 6 and now that the softener is actually plugged in and mostly operational is low. I cannot remember exactly though. I only have the soap test and I test the water every time I’m there because I...

Yeah, that picture was actually of the broken fitting but I only had those 2 pictures on my phone. I had to replace the fitting and valve due to a little leakage. I am going to try to spend a few minutes tomorrow figuring this out and save me from paying a ridiculous price to get it working...

This is something I will be doing. So I am a fairly motivated/ driven dude and have already had two young guys try work with me on the weekends engaging customers or helping folks wherever needed, I think my exuberance and pace did them in. Both only worked a day before giving up what I...

Howdy Yall, So my RO water is about 70 hardness and I am going to work to correct the issue. I had Culligan come rebuild my carbon filter and they are supposed to come back and repair the RO system but due to Covid 🤷‍♂️ they are way backed up. My incoming water is about 400 and the water...

Thank you! I like that idea but I don’t think it will do what I want for customer loyalty. I think it will keep folks in the bays longer and get them to spend more money! Do you guys know any other good ideas for customer loyalty or customer engagement? I am going to push pretty hard with...

Is there a preferred model of in-bay handheld dryer? I haven’t really considered it but it may be worthwhile.

I’m not sure about the details yet. I was just thinking it sounds like a fairly inexpensive bonus to offer and there seem to be a few people that bring their own towels and a few more I think would use them if I offered them. I am thinking any little thing I do to make customers feel...

Howdy y’all Everything has been going well and I am having ideas to help keep my new customers around. I’ve get some old threads about operators offering a towel drying station and I am considering the same. My wash is located in a good area and I have someone there 4 days a week to keep an...

Howdy y’all, We have been collecting much more in quarters than I remove from the change machine. I keep fairly detailed records when I remove the money and noticed a few interesting trends. So far, if I was to remove $100 in bills from the changer, I would remove $125-$130 from vacuums and...

I think some of you guys best days are days we have zero customers. So far, if it’s under 20 degrees, customers are nonexistent. Around here we just wait a day or two and it will be in the 60s again. I ended up just letting the water weep during the recent cold spell. I had 1 of the curly...

I see these for sale on Facebook and think I can make one work.

Howdy y’all I am going to build a meter to vend air and want to know if anyone has a box similar to a JE Adams 6070? Like this or is there a less expensive option? I have extra Led6 timers and thought I can easily set up a solenoid to vend air.

Im thinking my SOP will be if it’s below freezing for over 24 hours or so straight I will blow everything down and shut the power off. That is maybe 0-4 times a year. Do you take off the brush and gun and blow it out of just force air through the lines to push the water out? I could rig up...

Howdy y’all Does anyone have a plan for when you weep water or when it’s better to blow the lines out and pump in something to prevent freezing? Here it’s going to be 10 degrees tonight and 40 tomorrow then 20 tomorrow night and 60 on Saturday. I was considering blowing my lines out since...

I didn’t feel like there was a great benefit but thought I could be missing something. I am going to advertise the heck out of the fact that I have hot water soap and wax though. I have been telling everyone it is coming soon and it seems like everyone felt it was a big positive….or they...

Hot water back online! 120 gallon tank was delivered yesterday and we got it plumbed this evening. Now is there any benefit to having hot water rinse for thes IBA or just heated presoak?

Good plan about rerouting the chemical line. I’m glad this air bubble isn’t something to worry about. I will continue replacing the chemicals lines and not worry about it.
