    2 step pre-soaks Ecolab alternatives - Dissolve All Low PH and Velocity 3692 Hi PH

    3692 presoak is one of blue corals top sellers. I am happy with the cleaning it does at .50 cents per car in my application. I do not use an acid presoak at all with it.

    We have our people wear T shirts with our name on them and we also provide aprons with our name on them. The aprons tie in the back and prevent belt buckles and buttons from scratching paint.

    Why is FloJet slowing down?

    Does your flojet have a muffler system on it? I have seen these plug up with ice when cold air is run through it. The small holes in the muffler will plug fast in cold weather. You can remove the muffler and the pump will be a bit louder but will work. It does sound like a air restriction...

    Tredle Switch Problem

    My older ryko units had treadle plates also and were a pain. I replaced them with wide pressure pads and had very good luck with them. No need to worry about rocks getting under them and they worked all the time. I think kleenrite, dultmeier and others sell them. Just order some that a about the...

    Belt Dressing?

    I use CRC food grade belt dressing and it stops belt slippage as soon as you spray it on the belt. I buy several extra belts and spray them as soon as I get them with the belt dressing. It helps seal up belt so water is not drawn into the fibers of the belt. I also use plastic bags from my water...

    Should I sell quarters in my vendor for laundry?

    I added a mix of tokens to the quarters I dispense. About 25% mix of tokens with quarters. If they get quarters from me they also have to use the wash.

    door issues/questionss

    I have chain drive operators and I also have problems in the winter. I do not think their is a fool proof solution for doors in winter. If you do go with a jack shaft door operator it is best to mount them out of the wash bay and in the equipment room. Extend a shaft through the wall to operate...

    Heat/Ice Melting Tape

    Most hardware stores will sell it in pre packaged lengths of 25 to 50 feet already made up. If you need better quality and custom lengths go to your local electrical supply house. Most sell it off of rolls and will cut it to length. You then buy the ends and put it together yourself. I like to...

    to splice or not to splice?

    It is best if can move the hose so that the splice is not close to the bend point where it failed. If it is close to the bend point it will fail even quicker with a splice in the area. If you are talking about a 1 inch or larger HP hose it can be very difficult to get a hose type clamp splice to...

    Too Cold and Closed

    -15 f this morning and we got all the way up to 13 today. Feels like the bannana belt compared to some places in the US right now. To me it is not worth the risk anymore to keep the autos open when it is below 0 at night.

    Ryko softgloss and presoak solenoid

    I think the 3 hole solenoid valve has a built in bypass. It might be part of the freeze protection if you have that feature. The chemical will be cycled through the solenoid and back to the chemical tank to keep the lines from freezing. If it is a brass solenoid valve then most high PH presoak...

    Etowah Valley CC Capture Issues

    I do not see how it can not be a blue pay problem. None of us has changed anything on our equipment. The only common factor on this is the blue pay processing that has changed.

    Adding Credit Card to Changer/Token Vendor

    I have an old Hamilton credit card to token teller at one location. Sales through it have been dismall to say the least. After 6 years I doubt it averages $5 a day. Adding credit cards in the SS bays will result in a lot more sales via credit cards.

    RO Unit Shutting Off Due To Low H2O psi

    I have a Culligan RO unit that did similar shutdowns when I first installed it. It does not have a auto reset so you had to manually turn it back on after low water pressure sensor would shut it down. I tried a few things and finally I took a 3/4 inch nut and put it under the low pressure switch...
