I would love to help you on this but Mep1 has decided I should not post any more.

Shouldn't this be posted on myspace or a personal blog page?

I don't have the experience of the previous posters but I have 20 grain hard water and have been using the same softners for 16 years at the carwash using just cruches rock salt and never had one problem with the softners being damaged. I buy a pallet every month for my locations so I go through...

I have been researching my locations for the past couple of months and it looks like it costs me on average $300 per bay per month for a SS bay to keep them from freezing. I have 2 locations with raypaks, 1 with high effeciency 95% hydro pulse boilers and 1 using Munchkin +95% boilers. The High...

Find the lights that come on with each bay plate then run a jumper wire between those 2 inputs on the plc. You could also go to the bay and find the wires from bay plates. They will probably go into a junction box on the wall. each wire will have a common ground already connected. The other...

I would also look at the bay switch. It only takes a short interuption of the signal to stop the wash. Check were the wires are spliced. Do you have the mercury switch setup> If so they are are spliced under the protective plates and water could be getting to the splice. For a short term...

I lost a transformer this year on one of my raypak boilers and replaced it with a spare transformer that I keep on hand for the Vacs. Just a small doorbell type of transformer.

If I fly it will be on Allegiant air. $59 each way and they have specials on hotels. I won't need a hotel but check them out if they fly out of your airport.

They are working great. I like the voice feature on the coin boxes.

Put a flat plate of metal behind the cable so that it sandwiches it to the door track. You may have to drill a hole through the door track and use a carriage bolt to hold the plate in place. You also can just take a hammer and give the door track a hit once a day to get rid of the ice. It only...

I will send you some tomorrow from the work computer.

I have 6 Ryko OHDs ( now called Radius) in operation. Maintenance on them is to grease 4 wheels every 3 months. 1 Zerk per wheel. That is all the basic maitenance there is. Every one of them has at times gone over 2 years without having any break downs. They are very open and easy to work on...

Three phase power is generally billed in 2 ways. First they take the overall electricity used during the month. The second part of the bill is determined by how much peak power you use at any given time during the month. Peak will be determined by how much power is required during the month at...

I know my November and December were way off. I used 1/3 less electricity this December vs. last december and the temp was exactly the same average both years and lights were on the same amount. I decided to be proactive and January 1 I lowered 3 of my 4 wash prices down $2 each. I had simple...

My bank sent it out and I do not deposit my blue pay accounts to this bank. Key bank is the one that has sent me the letter thus far.

Testing your antifreeze will depend on which type of antifreeze you use. Ethyl Glycol or automotive type uses a different tester than propolyne glycol. Floor heat systems generally use propylene glycol because it is safer for the environment if there is a leak. It is a little tougher finding a...

I have been sent a letter explaining that in order to stay in compliance with new regualtions the bank is hiring a outside firm to check everyone that takes credit cards for compliance. I forget the fee amount exactly but it was around what you stated. Mine came from the bank I use not the CC...

I have thought about getting some of the large concrete blankets they use when pouring concrete in freezing weather. Put these in most of the bays and keep one or 2 bays open. I think they would save a lot in heat bills and could be removed for the sunny wash days. They provide a lot of...

Randy, thanks for the clear concise instructions on how to do this. I am glad I did not just start flipping switches radomly or I would have been in trouble.

NEWSPAPER?--- only if you want ink all over the windows. Newspaper will also scratch the windows. Best leaves that kind of window cleaning to the glee club at the local charity wash.
