It stays hot for a while, longer if you insulate it. You can also put an electric immersion heater in the tank to keep it hot between customers.

That's something I've considered if I ever win the lottery. I'd be the Gordon Ramsay of the car wash industry. "You idiot! Why have you put your foam brush pickup into a wax bucket?"

I would let him pay to move it, unless he will give you enough free rent to pay for everything. The water and electric will have to be re-routed and that will cost a lot, as well as reducing capacity by one bay. Is there possibly space to add a small room to one end of the bays? There will...

The breaker could be failing from being repeatedly tripped. The motor could be going bad, or something might be partially plugged which has increased the load on the pump and motor. The dial on the breaker would be to adjust the trip point, which I assume should be set at about 10% above FLA...

You could use injectors at the bays, but that will greatly decrease reliability. You'll also have a whole new challenge to figure out how to get soap to the bays in a separate line. You could use a dump solenoid in the room on a return line to fill the line with soap or water when those...

It will interchange, you might have to reuse and flip the bezel (The U3M means upstacker/300 bill box/shipped with MDB harness) and you'll have to take the bills 4 ways to accept them face up.

Tighten the belt.

Nylon tubing will also get brittle if it's exposed to sunlight, unless it's black. I use all black Nylon tubing now.

They have been phased out. There's one that's a direct replacement, I don't know the part number.

Same, 1/4" is enough for most products if you have to throttle it down with adjustments. If some of your runs are a lot longer than others, IMO it would be better to use 3/8" tubing and let the solenoid orifice be the restrictor.

Dixmor timers in the coin doors have a magnetic reed switch near the face. Just swipe a magnet near it and it will switch to coins deposited. Make sure you switch it back, some of them don't time out. 2-3 hours a day is every single day.

It sounds like a good deal. A car wash like that in my area would probably go for $2 million. The auto bay will be the biggest challenge. There isn't a lot to the SS side that can fail catastrophically and require a lot of maintenance. Find out as much as you can about the auto unit, the...

Yeah, the drivers blow the grease off. They don't care that it takes ten times longer to clean up the mess than they spend washing it off. They just have to put some new grease on the head before hooking up to another trailer. I know a guy with a couple truck bays, he put up signs stating...

I'm sure meth heads are totally reliable and won't steal out of customers' cars.

I ordered one of these to try, it'll be easy to install since both washes have DIN rail in the boxes. Thanks for all the replies.

Probably not.

If the solenoids aren't on a manifold (individual solenoid for each pump soap and wax), just reverse the lines. The solenoid becomes its own check valve. The ones you linked are terrible. I was given some by the customer to build his boom manifolds, and every one of them failed within two...

Free shipping on a certain dollar amount, I think it's $2,250? If you're ordering that much every so often, they should assign you a rep. He/she will make sure you're taken care of. We have something like 5 million points built up because we never pay shipping. Certain things are buy x get...

It's a manufacturer of piezo buzzers and speakers. In this case they're referring to these: https://www.floydbell.com/series/AnnouncerSeries

Not without more information. What system do you have? Is this the 2-bay SS with GinSan equipment? If so, you need to increase the pressure and open up any adjustment valves on the liquid side of the wax.
