Washregal, Maybe no one else is interested but if you find time to try that ... I personally would very much like to know ... at what pressure-volume threshold ... could get us to move around the car wash (drain below us) in an elevated state with the gun in a McGyver Style backpack like...

IMHO, fewer or even no $1 dollar paper money would help improve the number of times bill acceptors & also high end bank bill counters have to be repaired. Us in more rural USA are more likely to have shipping as an added expense also. LOL ... much better to have bales of 5s & 10s & muscle...

Great story Mac. I also have a true story of a very prominent in his area (my uncle Bob's) who at his funeral ... a Native American ... held us somewhat breathless as he told of his long term friendship with my uncle Bob & with a flute made out of wood from a torn down building ... & then...

Just what i believe is a relevant observation: Considering the number of times we have had to send in ($$$ ouch) both our Mars & Coinco bill acceptors ... there is no way that anyone will convince me that bill acceptors are less maintenance than the better coin acceptors. Especially when they...

Tdlconceptsllc & others, Hmmm .... At the 4:00 to to 4:51 end finish of this below YouTube clip of a MacGyver episode. This also appears to be a gas or diesel driven hi pressure washer setup ... so you be careful now upping the power a bit too much ... you hear ...

Whatever hose washdown is a good fit for whoever ... go for it. For us specifically, we have found the washdown ability we setup without too much trouble has been the best fit for us & our setup (long term wise). One thing I should have mentioned is from day one over 25 years ago we have used...

At the point of four pumps ... yes there is actual warning signs of heat build up & questionable wash down gains over three. There are actually 7 pump setups available but one is a portable backup that is on wheels that is used with some quick-disconnects (both electrical & water & chemical...

I am not sure on the bigger pump but with joining the flow via manifolds & controls with three or four Cat 310s with 3HP 3ph motors ... it sure seems not too complicated for us considering the time we save. I think the extra momentum from water volume is more effective than a narrow spray with...

For an area that has customers with more mud than most left ... maybe the larger pump could be a gain in cleanup time. No regrets in having set up more than one pump for our cleanup over 25 years ago. Over the years it has actually simplified our cleanup process. Not sure if the better nozzle...

Just a thought ... I wonder if the 3535 or similar pump was setup with a programmable VFD ... then a signal could be sent to the VFD when the single wash down nozzle was used changing the program to make the motor run at a different RPM. It seems like that could possibly help prevent the...

This post reminds of when a young nephew wanted to know if when I squeezed the trigger on my "wash down" special gun utilizing several pumps via a common manifold & hi pressure 3 way valves. I am quoting him "does it lift you off the ground ... if you are not careful" Note: At the 4:35 to...

Ric, 2Biz & others, Seriously, if your "cycle timer" is meant to be in a dry area & you don't mind getting acquainted with the I O & others ports of a less than $10 Arduino PCB. With secure connections these boards with a less than $10 external relay & less than $10 transformer or USB 5vdc...

Eric & Earl, I am also tempted to have this made up to put this by our vacuum area. Maybe add something about cameras. Maybe adding something about discarding tires which cost us because our dumpter pickup adds ... if I remember right $10 for each one ... & they do check for each one. Maybe...

Earl & others, I suggested to my agent to not include the "lost income ... business interruption" I was told that the main reason for that specific coverage is to make sure the business can maintain their employees' income during reconstruction.

A good argument if it ever came into small claims court ... for some of us ... would be that even with the signs to "spray first both vehicle & brush" we have on rare occasions seen an extremely unthoughful customer just at the very beginning grab the brush & start rubbing heavy dry dirt on...

Jason & others, I am using MicroCoin with a GinSan control board. If you call GinSan ... based on positive experience ... I am pretty sure they will explain the specific wires to & from etc for the MicroCoin. I like both Parker & MicroCoin ... it just seems like MicroCoin is more future proof...

Just to add to my previous post. If it is used in a bushing bearing situation then there are plastics that is a bearing quality material & would be a better choice based on that need.

bigjws, If you can find a friend with a 3D Printer that uses a plastic that meets the strength & chemical resistance requirements ... that could be a real nifty solution. With someone, I picked up a bit of 3D printing experience with ABS & PLA plastic ... but I am not sure if you need to go...

Earl & hopefully others not 100% fixated on cashless, We get the key information for free with our EMV compliant better structured long term wise ATM. Beyond key info ... it seems most of the time for most of us ... there can be "info overload" from some of those with extra monitoring based on...

Cherokee235 & others who are at risk, Good points made on the cozy future proof "for them" percentage ... regardless of how bad inflation gets. One thing that Canadian Operators (who also have CC acceptance) have going for them with the greater availablity of $1 & $2 coins (possibly future $5...
