What the heck does that mean?

The ones that really burn me up are the ones that intentionally drop the tailgate to let the dryer blow out the trash. The two times I caught them I cleared their wash and said I'd let them through after they cleaned out their bed.

If it started suddenly, it's most likely a simple issue like a piece of trash caught under a valve poppet.

He doesn't test them with hot water, but he tests everything else:

Good, the CFA coils fail regularly and cost more than a whole Kip cartridge.

Just connect one of the Cryptopay red/green wires to #9 wire, the timer knows what to do.

Yes, pins on the left side for a hinge and on the right attached to the cam. If you still have the pattern I might have to order a couple spares from you.

I use 11' HP hoses with a swivel saver. If I used a hose so short that the gun can't reach the box, they'd be maybe 6' long and the gun wouldn't reach the floor by several feet.

If I were to buy equipment, I'd probably go with National Pride. It's by far the most solidly built stuff out there. The only thing I don't like about it is getting to the high pressure motors on the bottom shelf. If you have enough room that you can leave space behind it to get to the...

I like the bottom of the HP hose to be at or just below my knee while I'm washing the side of a car. Where does your measurement put the low point?

This info is meaningless to anyone whose car wash roof and boom mounting is different from yours.

I've never seen these doors anywhere else. There are pins on each side, two that act as a hinge on the left and two that attach to a cam on the right for locking it. The door face is 14 x 14".

It's probably a common, non-metric size. I'll bet you can find a replacement by measuring it. Or look for something called a Parbak ring, instead of a split Teflon ring it's a very high durometer rating buna-neoprene ring with a concave side to accept the o-ring. These reduce the failure...

I know that was the idea behind putting the vacs in front of the bays, but too many people like to vac after they wash so the reverse out of the bay and spend an hour or more there vacuuming, drying, and detailing. Also when I have five of six bays in use, inevitably someone pulls up to the vac...

It's a pretty dedicated use space without making major changes, but someone could do both oil changes and minor automotive repairs. The lube business is doing well around here - the dealers charge a lot more and a lot of them have a bad reputation.

I don't know, I will go look for separate meters.

Can you get rid of the pressurized storage tank? That would clear out a lot of space and remove what looks a lot like a complicated mess. I see what I assume is a storage tank to the left. Is the pressurized tank used to deliver spot free water to something? The rest of the unit looks like a...

It could be in either place. Every car wash is different.

Did you notice the huge crack in the PVC fitting to the left of the ball valve? I assume your TDS is reading 70. If your RO water is actually testing 70 hardness, your system is way beyond screwed. RO systems are surprisingly simple. Culligan is going to charge yo a small fortune to fix your...

I'm the one telling my fiancée what not to put in the washer and dryer. Not that it makes any difference...
