    Lubricity

    Interesting idea try it for a couple of days. See if you notice any differences and get back to us. My first thought is that the chemical cost will be higher and you lose the "show" of the foam.

    Wand holders - Design - Freezing

    Looks good. It seems to me if you have a problem you can take off your union and just let it spray onto the floor at that angle. I had 2 washes (15 bays ) with the gun holders angled. The only deference I see is that I had the gun tip angled away from the coin box area and it looks like you...

    Where to get my Scancoin counter fixed

    Contacted the company and they said there is a restocking charge from Scancoin even though the parts have not been sent yet. Guess I have to wait it out.

    Where to get my Scancoin counter fixed

    Called Scancoin and was told they don't repair the 303's in house anymore. They gave me a name of a company. I sent it to them and they called me today and said to fix it would cost $68.00. GOOD The problem is they have to order the parts from Scancoin. Scancoin moved the manufacturing to...

    Winter Blend?

    Check your drip system and underground heat nightly and early in the morning for a while to make sure there's no issues. If you have a wind chill factor take that into consideration to your temp settings. Make sure you have no leaks in your lines in the trough, any fittings in equipment...

    Employee Goes for a Ride!

    There is nothing funny about this. It took less than 10 seconds for this person to possibly lose their life. Thank god it didn't happen. What's funny about that? As an industry we need to have better education/training of not only our employees but us as owners and operators.

    Lo ph and Flash Drying

    What is the distance from final rinse to the flash dryer? Can you change your high pressure reclaim rinse to high pressure fresh water rinse and reduce your tip size a bit to see if that would help?

    Heads up Tampa bay Florida

    I've been thinking if I could build a high impact/high decibel switch inside the coin box door with a high pitch alarm that would trigger an electrical charge to the box, discharge smoke/fog with cayenne pepper and have a bright LED strobe light above the box that would turn on. So when someone...

    Coin box that accepts coin, bills, c.c., phone apps like Apple Pay

    Back in 2000/2001 when I put in credit card machines in all the bays it was expensive and many operators weren't sure it was worth it because of cost and fees. Today it's almost the norm. For us, self serve operators, to have to compete with Express Washes I truly believe that these types of...
