    New in bay option

    If you do add a trifoam system, make sure you mount the gun where the customers can find it easily. Mounting the gun holder catacorner from the high pressure gun will be certain death for it. I've considered adding a tire foam brush, but I'm worried about abuse of the brush. My customers...

    Spot Free Membrane sources -

    I haven't heard of them or used them. If I were to go by the one review, I would avoid them. "It lasts up to two years..." I generally get ten years out of a Filmtec.

    Air logic or Air shammee

    I have learned that salesmen are not engineers, engineers are not service techs, and service techs are not salesmen. Apologies for the off-topic question, but does anyone with dryers have trouble with people opening up the car doors and blowing the trash out into the bays?

    Spot Free Membrane sources -

    What company? Do they have standard 4 x 40 membranes? Are you really going to save $60 or are you risking $200 on something that may be a piece of crap?

    Recommendations on a new Auto Teller please

    Kinda late to be asking opinions on auto tellers when you already had one on the way.

    Adding Nayax to Vacs, count which way?

    Exactly what vacuum is this? That could be true if the bill acceptor is connected via MDB and they offer the vac with Nayax but can only do one or the other. Who is this guy?

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    The air draw from the boiler draft isn't very strong, certainly not strong enough to feel as resistance when opening the door. The fact that the door opens out and (assuming) it doesn't have a vent in it could be compounding the soot issue.

    Foam Brush Help

    You might want to cut the foam brush tip back a size or two, unless you're using Lustra.

    Recommendations on a new Auto Teller please

    So you're just "going to replace it?" Any reason? You have probably the best unit there is, albeit a pretty basic one.

    Recommendations on a new Auto Teller please

    I'd recommend a Hamilton as a general rule. Is there anything special you want to do, like dispense a token for free vacuums with a purchase or give out wash codes?

    Accounting software.

    I don't think you have to pay every year unless you keep updating to the newest version each year. As of 2019 you only had to purchase once. You wouldn't get updates to things like payroll, but the rest worked the same. In 2016 I was working for a distributor who was still using the 2003...

    Accounting software.

    You can still get QuickBooks Premier software to install on your own PC, but it's $799. I truly hate QuickBooks online after using Premier. You can use online with your phone, but the app doesn't allow for a lot of stuff, like looking up your cost of an item, and using it from the site is...

    Accounting software.

    Peachtree? I haven't used it since 2005 but it's cheap and easy for basic accounting. I just track everything in Excel now.

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    They cleaned the inside to improve water flow. Eric H needs to clean the outside to improve air flow. Your comment is both unhelpful and off-topic. I'm not trying to gaslight you. You're either trying to derail the thread or you're so ignorant you don't even realize how ignorant you are...

    No high pressure soap

    Since the soap and wax draw the same way, you have a problem with the soap. If you have a Hydrominder that draws soap from a pail to mix in a tank, start by checking the foot valve in the bucket. Also make sure the valve is flowing well, should be about 4 GPM. Sometimes the water flow slows...

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    Completely and totally unrelated to this issue. They descaled the burner.

    Cleaning RayPak heat exchanger

    Make sure the main valve isn't opening before it ignites. I've personally seen this, the flameout can blow out the pilot and it will send fire everywhere. Someone here recently posted with the same problem.

    Pressure regulator

    The time has come. That regulator is bad. If something happens and you have several tips get plugged at once it could damage something because the regulator is not regulating.

    Foam Brush Help

    Did you put a gauge on the liquid side to monitor it? That's the only way you'll be able to tell if you're starving the pump for air. What did you put in the generators? If you pack them too tight, the liquid will flow fine, but when you turn up the air the foam itself can restrict the flow...

    Foam Brush Help

    I'm running a very busy 6-bay car wash off one line that size, four low pressure systems with Flojets. It's enough.
