    Who Uses Powder Presoaks?

    They don't anticipate changing the prepaid freight, at least not for a while. Sonny's is allowing to conduct their existing business as usual.

    SS bay soap

    Me too. You have to start with a clean tank and you have to thoroughly clean the copper, might even need more than a small piece. I had to use three 2' pieces. And if the algae is growing in the pail/barrel before it's drawn by the Hydrominder, the copper in the tank probably won't work.

    Help wiring a LP panel

    If you don't already have something on the compressor, you might consider a filter with an oil and water separator too, or a regulator with those on it. Flojets don't like oil or water in the air.

    Dumb luck

    My wash had another bigger and more nicely equipped wash just up the road. It was sold and closed right about the time I got mine. There's no place within five miles anyone could realistically build any sort of wash considering how much property is selling for and the lack of anything vacant...

    Grease for Overhead Springs

    It's mineral oil/kerosene/paraffin oils and "proprietary ingredients."

    You don't have spot free rinse? I like having two rinses, and I put the trifoam after the first rinse like you've planned. The regulators can take 150 PSI inlet despite what the manual says, but I always put a regulator on the compressor and set it to 90 so if one on the system fails and lets...

    I might be wrong, now that I think about it they may come in from the side. I was thinking they'd come straight out the top end. Even so, it does look like the lower of the two screws is backed all the way out.

    Who Uses Powder Presoaks?

    I don't use it, but I have a customer using Red Hot from Scotch Plaid. It's mixed in a basket for the SS and the presoak Hydrominder draws off that, I'm pretty sure with no tip. It cleans really well and foams with air injection without sputtering. I've used Red Hot for bay soap and like it...

    Fresh n vac

    Not just the coil, there is nothing hooked to the relay at all, neither 24V nor main voltage. There's a white wire with a spade terminal and a screw stuck in it just dangling in front of the relay. For the vac motors to run, they must have been connected directly to 120V power. Maybe someone...

    You're going to have to make changes to the rotary switch. Pick what position you want it, choose an unused wire color for it, rearrange the other selections to allow for it, and have a new decal made as well.

    No, it's more oval, they're just like Spraying Systems veespray tips.

    Yes, but you won't like it.

    Grease for Overhead Springs

    I would not recommend lithium grease, at least not the stuff in a spray can. D&S used to recommend using it on the 5000's arch chains, but it absorbed water and made the chain rust. Somewhere on an old phone I have pictures of chain I removed that was rusted solid into a stick of steel. Later...

    What's in a name ? What should we name our new tunnel express car wash?

    But he only owns 17 cars. I wonder if they're all always dirty.

    Pit-y the fool

    Texas, and I go by a letter from the EPA I read some time ago. It doesn't need to be tested if you let it dry where the liquid can drain safely.
