Looks interesting. It might be something you can screw onto the bottom of a Hydrominder. FWIW I've made my own ultra-lean systems by using two suction tips, one that draws from the concentrate and one that draws out of the mix tank. It works well, but there's no guide on dilutions.

Time was several hours. Real money for the new parts would have been $500, but not everything I used was new. Shock sensors would have been better than nothing, it might have scared the guy off before he got to a second box, but the cops can't show up in a reasonable time since they've been...

1000 PSI. Any more and it will crack the spray disks, assuming it has that type.

I thought about shock sensors, but some idiot will put someone else's tokens or foreign coins or fill the reject chute with nickels and dimes, bang on the door, and set off the alarm a couple times a week.

Exactly, and here they've lowered the crime of burglary of a car wash to criminal mischief. We had $24,000 of vacuums destroyed for a few dollars in quarters, so it's not even a felony.

The mantra of the ignorant.

I'm curious why your income would matter to an insurance company unless you're covered either for loss of income or theft.

I was working on a trifoam system, the suction tube was stiff and I had propped it in the corner. It fell and landed on my crotch, dumping the stuff on me. I had blue balls for a week.

The coin wire from the LED6 needs to be hooked to the switch in the room. It takes some doing because a few wires need to be moved. Your "STOP" button in the room won't work, but you can cancel the unused time by pressing the coin pulse switch for two seconds and it will clear. The remote is...

If I used that padlock on my vac cleanouts, they'd be cut off within a few days. The ones I linked are more expensive, but they can't cut the boron carbide shackle.

Air goes into the smaller brass barb to make the pump run. It looks like it goes through a solenoid. It may not be opening, it looks like the liquid isn't getting to the pump. The far right bank only gets liquid from the pump. If you see air coming from the pump through the tube, it's...

The higher end ones aren't enough cheaper than a good one to get me to buy one. The little Ironton welder does a good enough job with the stainless sticks to do rough repairs.

What does that mean, the customers made a mess with the foam? You might want to use a clearcoat conditioner which shouldn't stain. I use Simoniz UVP which doesn't stain at all but has UV protection.

You're missing one Hydrominder and one is a Dema. You might as well order three 506 Hydrominders and replace them all, as well as the missing solenoid under the one tank. If the controller for the colors is bad, you can get one from Kleen-Rite. I'm sure there's a reason it was taken out of...

allpadlocks.com They have very good prices and they can key them all the same to a specific key number or you can just order them keyed alike and you'll always get the same key number. I use this one, they look nicer than the plain laminated lock and they're all still working perfectly after...

Solenoids don't have any way to stop flow in the reverse direction. I know that the two solenoids side by side are soap and wax, I assume the third one is cold water rinse. Does water come out the soap line all the time or only when the pump is running? "All the bays doing it" means what...

Way to be completely closed-minded.

That's one of the few things I liked about the D&S 5000, it took two of us two days to go from an empty bay to washing cars.

4 1/2" minimum unless you have 16-wheeler tractors and dump trucks, then I'd recommend 6" and rebar. I'll try and measure the slope of my bays. IMO they're ideal, enough slope to clean easily without chasing dirt around the drain while cleaning and not uncomfortable to walk on. I worked for a...

You two really need to stop pushing this. It works for you, but that doesn't mean it will work for everyone. There's no money in my meter boxes and I end up with one damaged every few months. In this one everything was destroyed, door/timer/coin acceptor, tore up the wiring to the switch, the...
