    Only 2SS frustration

    That's why I checked the laws about trespassing. In Texas, once I tell them to leave it's not just loitering anymore. With clear signage and a blanket criminal trespass warrant, I don't even need to be there to have someone issued a CTW. That would be very easy to create.

    Low pressure foam set up question

    I always have - depending on the chemical used they may clog over time, but it takes ten years or longer in my experience. There's no attic or trough in car washes here, so they're easy to replace.

    Low pressure foam set up question

    You will definitely get foam to the brush faster with separate lines converging as close to the boom as possible. Ole' Tom may have had a lot of experience, but he was a stubborn and close-minded guy. For a 2-bay with short runs to the boom, 1/2" hose may be okay from the room. Longer than 25...

    Only 2SS frustration

    I kick people out of the bays all the time. You learn the signs of loitering pretty quick - eating, opening the hood and immediately pulling out their phone, getting out and wiping down the outsides of the windows, etc. I found out the Texas laws of loitering and printed the statute. If...

    hydrominder issue

    I looked, the stuff in hardware stores is 5/8" OD, so really thin wall. Kleen-Rite sells the 3/4" OD and cheaper than the hardware store stuff. The thicker wall is a lot better since it doesn't kink (The thinner wall comes conveniently pre-kinked).

    hydrominder issue

    98% of the time I need to replace one is because I took the old one off and can't get it back on.

    hydrominder issue

    Where do you get the hose? I've tried the clear vinyl from hardware stores, but it's thinner wall/bigger ID and is much more sensitive to the chemicals.

    I mess with so many Hydrominders I just keep a half-dozen discharge hoses on hand.

    hydrominder issue

    There is a restrictor ring in the original hose. If you change it out with a regular hose, it won't draw.

    WW 2.0 Vibration

    That's not how unloaders work. If there's a complete obstruction, it will run the pump with no pressure but keep the lines to everything downstream pressurized. That isn't ever going to happen with your unit, and that's why I recommended the balanced pressure regulator. There's less to go...

    WW 2.0 Vibration

    That sounds like cavitation from the pump not getting enough water flow. It could be from a line draining empty of water and the plumbing to the pump being insufficient to let it fill properly, or a number of other problems. It's not the valves or it would pulsate all the time. It's probably...

    credit cards charges passed to customer ??????

    You cannot bring your own merchant service with Cryptopay. If this is a business, post their info. If it's some guy, he's most likely trying to scam you.

    credit cards charges passed to customer ??????

    I assume you're still with Cryptopay. You can't bring your own merchant processor. They lifted the "same price cash or card" thing some 20 years ago.
