    New floor!!!!

    Back in the 70 and 80's I had snap on orange and white (one foot square) squares on the outside of the car wash equipment for walking. But I didn't have the cars traveling on them. It took away the slipping and fatigue on the legs while walking in the tunnel. I love the look but why did you do...

    3/8" Hose to 1/4" Hose

    Yep. I had 2505 tips and changed a few bays over to the 1505 to see how it performed. Liked what I saw and changed all the bays. Before I changed all the bay tips I had great soap in all the bays. For some reason one bay in each wash just lost the soap. Like I said before I changed all the...

    What do you think about these financials?

    I'd think about cutting my own grass. Why did the phone bill increase (x2)? Is it because they needed internet for the credit cards? Was the credit cards installed recently? Why do you only have 1 year P & I? You should get 3 years at least. Are the automatics touchless or touch? If both are...

    3/8" Hose to 1/4" Hose

    I've been using 1/4" hoses, 3/8 ends, one hose guard and 1505's tips for 15 years in 2 washes. I use it in the booms and boom to gun.

    Flash Drying

    We use the AVW 5Hp. single oscillating blower on the top immediately (12-18") after the rain bar and drying agent application. With this setup we were able to shut off our medium rinse and use 2 rain bars. Would it more beneficial to shut down or reduce your your high pressure rinse and add 1-2...

    New regulation in CA regarding reclaim

    How much water do all the restaurants in CA. use? I bet there is 100 times more resuarants in CA. than car washes. Talk about water consumption. Why don't they recycle all the restaurant water? With all the swimming pools in CA. I would think that a lot of water is used. Why not include all the...

    Raypak floor heat boiler

    I've had to clean out the pilot several times. Also replaced the what I think was the the starter too. Now every month of the year that I don't use the underground heat I turn it on 1-2 times per month for 5 minutes to make sure the pilot doesn't get crap in it.

    Measured Tunnel and Equipment

    Advice on replacing conveyor chain

    Seems to me if it always happens to the first roller and not the second the air pressure to the fork might need adjusting. Maybe the fork is not coming up quick enough for the first roller. Since you put the new chain on in March have you tighten up your chain by removing some links?
