    Need replacement of my burnt Carwash

    Then why do you both post within minutes of each other almost every single time? It doesn't seem like the same car and driver. It is without a doubt. You may have deleted the videos that proved it, I don't care enough to look. I have made record of the proof on your YouTube channels. No one...

    Water Softener

    I stick a garden hose in the distribution tool to keep the tank full and siphon the resin and gravel into a garbage can. It used to take me about four hours to change resin in a twin 24x72" softener, about half of that just siphoning the resin. I'd probably need help doing it now since my back...

    CAT CP 2120 Vibration

    Most of the car washes around here were built in a very similar way regardless of who made the equipment, which usually has soap and wax solenoids mounted in the underside of the electrical cabinet. The hose/tubing fittings are prone to leaking, which causes pulsation. A lot of them use the...

    Meter Box Door Replacement

    I ordered two SecureCoin acceptors. If they work, I'll send you the MicroCoins.

    Meter Box Door Replacement

    I've got a friend with a wash with all Microcoin QL, even in the vacs, and he's had no problem with jams. They're mostly very old, some might be 30 years old. Mine started jamming regularly after six months, one jammed the second day in use, and one I had to zip-tie together when someone tried...

    Meter Box Door Replacement

    ...Duh. Didn't think of that. I'll try it, but I'm not sure it'll help much. This last time when they both were jammed, neither one was jammed up the return chute, just in the coin path.

    Grease or silicone spray

    It would help to know what equipment you're talking about.

    Water Softener

    Softeners have a max flow rate. Resin doesn't, it has a rate at which it can effectively soften flow through it. Doesn't do OP any good to have a softener that can flow 60 GPM if the resin bed can only soften 12. He bypassed the softener to see if the restriction was there, and it is, so now...

    Meter Box Door Replacement

    FWIW I ordered two Microcoin QL acceptors to try, and they jam a lot. They got really gunked up really fast, and cleaning them hasn't helped. A few days ago when I got there they were both jammed. They also reject a lot of coins they should accept, which might be why they jam. I can't take...

    I……. But….. what?

    I once got a 3-star review, all it said was "It's busy". Yeah, I run a good car wash just so YOU can't get in.

    Water Softener

    I agree with DavidM. I've replaced the media in softeners by myself in tanks as big as 7 cu.ft. capacity. The hardest part is unhooking the plumbing and getting the heads off.

    Meter Box Door Replacement

    I definitely like the whole idea of pushbuttons (In fact, if I had the perfect wash I'd do a nice touchscreen), but in real life rotary switches at most washes will hold up better against customers.

    Attempted theft

    Just happened a few days ago, took less than five minutes to get the plug out.

    Recommendation for Spot Free Rinse?

    It's certainly your prerogative to do that, but I assure you it's unnecessary. Maybe next time you're ready to replace them, test the TDS once a month, then wash your vehicle and park it in the sun to dry. See how high the TDS reads when you start to notice spots on the windows. If you plan...

    Credit card processing for IBA

    You can add Cryptopay, but there are some downsides. The big one is that your fees will go up.

    Attempted theft

    That's how you break a lot of drill bits. There's a much faster and easier way.

    It can be any of a number of things, seals usually pretty low on the list.

    Meter Box Door Replacement

    Dixmor LED 6 plus the Coleman retrofit trays will perfectly replace your old ones. If you're not using any tokens, I'd recommend Sensortrons or Slugbuster P-47. You can get everything from Kleen-Rite in one order to save shipping, just ask them to ship the order complete.
