Some areas around here have so much chlorine in the water that regular softener resin doesn't last five years. There is a resin type that can handle it better. Assuming your IBA is a touchless unit, you might consider running the high pressure passes on hard water.

Is the cavitation issue something new? You may have a problem with your softener.

It's always worth asking. Worst that can happen is he'll say no. Unless he needs the whole amount now, he'll have a steady and significant income for the next 10-15 years.

Try to get him to owner finance.

You need a timer with a "last minute" alert. There are GinSan timers that have it built in, so you can either directly replace what you have as long as you have an unused wire to connect the horn in the bay, or you can move the timer to the bay. I'd recommend Dixmor display timers in the bay...

It would be better if your gravity tanks (Soap and water) were at least as high as the pumps. Cat 310s specify the supply must be "flooded," basically the tank high enough that water will free-flow into the pump. How are soap and wax supplied now? Is there not a tank compartment for water...

I've done that, not with the deposit part. One bucket washer actually started the timer with the switch off and went back to bucket washing.

That's how reverse osmosis works. The higher flow through the membranes keeps them from fouling, and it increases the production with no cost. You can run 1:1 reject/product at the higher flow, where if none gets recirculated you need to run at least 3:1 reject just to get a decent life out of...

Here's another option: https://www.tristarvet.com/product/swivel-ramp-bathing-tub/ This tub by itself was about $7,000 last time I checked. It would take maybe another $2,000 in parts to make the same thing Kleen-Rite sells for $14k. There's really nothing to their system, an injector on a...

All it takes is a Dixmor timer and Cryptopay.

I don't get it, the only thing I can come up with are these people are used to raising a stink to get what they want, or get out of trouble, and they've learned that it works. They take no responsibility for their actions.

I think Kleen-Rite's is around $14,000 now.

At one wash I look after I'm about to put up signs stating car wash is private property and open for paying customers only, no loitering, etc. It's being abused like you wouldn't believe. I know it will look uninviting, but the actual customers understand when I explain why I ask if they're...

I keep an eye on them and replace them before they break. They usually break near the gun, and the early sign is rust stains coming out of the cracks in the hose. Sometimes I find a bubble of rust in the mid-length of the hose where it will eventually break. I don't use a bend restrictor at...

I never got a concealed carry permit, so I just open carried until it became legal to CC in Texas. The homeless spread the word amongst themselves that I'm armed and avoid me like the plague.

It wasn't easy for me, I got my dad's temper. Part of what helped was a guy who had made a huge muddy mess outside the bay from blowing loam and grass bits out of his bed, I was pretty nasty with him, took me hours to clean it up, and I was just finishing he drove back through and apologized...

Same, with the charcoal filter if it's 1 cu.ft. per membrane the charcoal will outlast the membrane. I change both together.

I gauge these situations by the person. I would've said something like "You know that's going to ruin the paint of the next car, right?" If I get attitude, then I feel okay to go off on 'em. If I get something like "Sorry, I wasn't thinking," I'll explain that cleaning oil just isn't allowed...

I put a quick connect at the bay above the swivel. I can reach them with a small stepladder.

You should be okay as long as you're careful with the valves when you put them back in. You may need to oil them, and be careful not to force them in. Spare valve o-rings and backup rings are essential spare parts.
