    I'd like to hear from other operators vis a vis replacing / rebuilding Flo Jets after 6 months. I do not experience this and can't help but wonder if you have an issue with moisture in the airline.

    Presoak takes to long to get to bay

    If you have needle valves an run them wide open, my thought is to jusst get rid of them and see what happens. (You can always go back.) Last post you said air was 50 PSI. I would cut it back to 20 and see what happens. Although this should not affect the HP Soap.

    Potential Cryptopay issue

    CMA Wash gets 5 calls a week or 20 / month for max charge issues. I may be wrong but I can't help but think some may be the CC Hold versus not pushing the button. For him it works out to 20 calls per $10,000.00 CMA - Has this been decreasing over time? CMA also notes different demographics...

    Potential Cryptopay issue

    Mel, The only time your problems are all solved is when you are in a box and they are throwing dirt on the lid. I think the volume of issues reflected by Mel and I give you a yardstick to work with.

    Metal Halide to LED bulb
