    Need replacement of my burnt Carwash

    No one said you can't "put in your opinion." It's been asked of you that you include with your opinion that you're a 14 year old who rides through car washes and doesn't own anything. This has been said to you many times by several people. Instead you want to play like you're an...

    Anyone know of a new/used 5 column mechanical vending machine for sale?

    None of the 5-column Laurel vendors can hold much of anything but little trees. The 3-column vendors can barely hold towels, glass cleaner, and Armor All. There's just barely enough space to get the product on the shelves.

    Need recommendations for a LOUD white noise machine.

    I tested two of the Amazon devices, my Echo Dot and the $120 display model, neither will play more than a few hours without shutting off.

    Help repairing Fleck 9000 water softener?

    The new one has a different type of meter than the old one, which is why they look different. Have you considered replacing just the brass head and not the entire thing?

    Cryptopay Internet Providers

    You don't need high speed for Cryptopay. It only sends a few kb for each swipe, so you won't touch a 1GB/month service. I've helped two different people set up a wireless hotspot and they're both running it trouble-free years later. FWIW I have AT&T at my wash, 300 Mb/s service and it's $65 a...

    Need recommendations for a LOUD white noise machine.

    I have an Echo Dot which can play white noise. It seems pretty loud, but I don't know how it compares to what you had. A friend has an Alexa unit with display that has a pretty impressive sound quality while playing music, but I don't know how loud it can play white noise. I will say it's...

    Buying a car wash

    21¢ each is cheap if you vend them for $1. I know a guy who takes all currency but only gives tokens at the changer. He has a bill breaker machine that gives three tokens plus the proper change with a $5, $10 or $20 bill and a changer next to it that only pays out tokens and gives a bonus with...

    Air compressor headache

    I've had this issue with an I/R when the motor was failing, but it was a single phase. They use a really cheap motor. If the 3-phase is the same cheap crap, I'd bet it's going out and probably took out your contactor.

    Buying a car wash

    If you put CC acceptance on bays and vacs, you don't need it on the changer. You could put a CC swiper on the changer and have it pay out tokens, but historically that doesn't work very well without a lot of customer training, and even then they just don't want to use it. You can do all that...

    Extrutech in IBA

    FWIW I've had issues with Bosch bits drilling undersized holes, even with 3/8" and 1/2". I buy good wedge anchors from a bolt supply (The Home Depot brand are great about spinning in the hole and never tightening up) and sometimes I can't get the anchor in the hole without a LOT of pounding.

    Buying a car wash

    I think you're putting too much stock in a sign. A big digital sign can cost $60,000 just for the electronics. Nowadays people use Google and follow the directions. Just make it look good from the street, and make sure it looks like a car wash. Cryptopay is an excellent CC system...

    You might as well remove the check valve at the pump that the tube goes to and plug it. That check valve is bad or it wouldn't dribble out from the solenoid.

    The blue arrow is the unloader's bypass. When pressure is running lower than it's supposed to and the unloader is working properly, there should be no flow out of that port. The gauge is reading pressure direct from the unloader's outlet (obv. red arrow). This means some of your flow is going...

    Can you take some more pictures of the plumbing and possibly map out with a drawing how it flows? This makes me think the unloader is bad, but I'd hate to recommend you replace a ~$200 part if that's not the real problem. The way I'd test it would be to pinch off the bypass hose to see if...
