A lot of what you buy for a stand alone unit is the case. Difficult to vandalize and break into. JE Adams makes the ones I have bought in recent years. Fragramatics also makes one.

Have several of these. Initialy Thomas was the Brand of Choice for the compressor and now it seems to be Gast used by JE Adams and others. I need to replace a couple - past rebuilding and the Gast are about $470.00 each. For about 1/3 of that I can get a big box store compressor with tank...

The issue is only partly what will clean. The other issue is what will customers use, an use longer since they are paying for time. An operator once said to me: "The more toys you have, the more they will ply with. This would include not only the regular FB but also a second for wheels. Other...

Room temperature product chemical mixes with warmed water in the hydrominder bucket.

I have a hot water line T'd into the hydrominder feed line(s) . As the outside temperature gets colder I use less cold and more hot. In warm weather I make the foaming products supply temp just a tad on the warm side - Foams better. DA seems to work better if some hot water takes the edge off...

I have hot and cold water lines t'd into the hydrominder supplies. Separate for DA and other items. Seperate for DA because it seems to work better being a little warmer than what I need to get good foaming on other items. As it gets colder I will adjust the mix so the solutions are warmer...

Every location is different. I use 2 65/05 on top and three 80/05 on each side.

Best way I found is to take it down, let it soak overnight in a barrel with wheel cleaner, dawn and maybe a little bleach depending on type of grime. and run thru the washer. You can do 1 row a night. You can also keep enough cloth for one extra row. So you can always have one being cleaned...

2 Items. 1. Just yesterday I see the DA not working properly. Scientific step #1. Put fingers in Hydrominfer bucket and see if it feels slippery- No. Next step. Pull off suction hose. - Tip not sucking. Next step Pull out tip - not clogged. Put finger over opening tip screws into - not...

Some time ago had Jelling issues with a KR Pre Soak so went to the same Low PH Product for Pre Soak and HP soap. I think the FB soap my have a little more foaming element.

FWIW I never test the PH. I just look at how the water runs off the car after the DA / Setting rinse and can tell if something is miss. I know, not the most efficient method.

I think you are correct. There must be a way to put the RFID on the vehicle. This would also solve the issue that tunnels solve with not having commercial drivers on monthly plans. I was told by one chain they do not sell them to Lyft and Uber drivers. Don't know how they monitor that since...

What about the other half? Sorry, Robert - Could not resist.

Well, I opened my file drawer. looked under Last 50 years in the business, last 30 as an operator, last 12 operating 4 tunnels and it told me. Expected annual Volume has nothing to do with recommended tunnel CPH. Recommended CPH is a function of dirt to be cleaned, environmental...

We think alike.

Depending on fresh water cost versus the ability to get acceptable level of cleanliness from re claim I would not reccomend it for most applications. I use it for underbody wash and initial wheel blast only.
