    Cryptopay Wiring

    A photo won't do you much good as you'll need to know what the wires are and some timers wire up different than others, but it's really simple. One gray wire goes to the coin signal on the acceptor, the other to common.

    Burglary Breakin

    Not just well designed, but layered.

    LP functions running after stopped

    I run presoak at 90 PSI, no adjustments for liquid plus I run that in 3/8" OD tube for the most flow. Air is set so it just barely foams at the tip, literally as low as possible and still see/hear the air. Tire cleaner at 75 PSI, the flow has to be throttled back quite a bit per bay. Most of...

    LP functions running after stopped

    A lot of the delay is because it has to push the water out of the hose first. That's why I run such a high pressure, you can get a good coverage with tire cleaner at 45 PSI but it just takes too long to reach the gun. The downside to running a high pressure on tire cleaner is that you pretty...

    LP functions running after stopped

    GinSan equipment has a massive design flaw in that there isn't a separate adjustment for each Flojet pump, and they recommend the pressure is set at something like 45 PSI. I've gone through several GinSan washes and added separate regulators and turned the tire cleaner and presoak pressures up...

    Unlimited Pass - Why are they offered?

    IDGAF. I wasn't promoting either monthly or pricing, nor trying to give the perfect apples-to-apples analogy. It was just the first thing I thought of where monthly plans are the norm.

    Soap/Wax/Rinse Setup

    You should see the newest D&S stands. Everything is injected at the pump, spot-free goes through the pump, there are two regulators plus injectors plus all the usual solenoids as a traditional car wash put together in a way that almost nothing is serviceable. All this mess to not have tanks...

    Converting a Bay to a Detail shop

    It can definitely work, but let the detailer be his own business and make sure your customers know. Let him signage himself, ask him to create his own online presence, don't involve him in your business. I inherited detailers with my wash, and getting rid of them was the best thing I've done...

    Prep Hose

    I've seen this done, it's cheap and works. The PVC wears out and gets shorter, but you can just add pieces as needed. It's like $3 for ten feet at home improvement stores.

    Gray water dumping at wash?

    Exactly, let them go to an RV waste facility and pay them.

    Converting a Bay to a Detail shop

    Are you planning to rent out a self-serve bay or an empty automatic bay?

    Soap/Wax/Rinse Setup

    Very few washes in Texas have gravity feed rinse from a separate cold water tank, if that's what you're asking. Mine was built to gravity feed hot water from a tank, and the solenoid is meant to force cold water to overwhelm the gravity feed with rinse selected, but the boiler hasn't worked in...

    Gray water dumping at wash?

    I don't allow any dumping. The carpet cleaners leave the bay smelling like a wet dog, the food carts dump their utensil washing water and it starts to smell like rotten food, and then they start getting bold and dumping grease. You can probably imagine what an RV sewage dump smells like...

    It ain't over...

    Just throwing this in there and ignoring the Borg reference otherwise it won't work, but the individual has the right to create their own voice platform when another one blocks the voices of one side.

    lost pressure

    I've been using General Pump tips. They're half the cost with a hardened orifice insert, so they last much longer. The numbering system is the same.

    Compressor problem - tripping breaker when trying to start under pressure

    It should have one. A compressor that size would most definitely have come with one. It's possible it got replaced with one without it, just like the tank check valve got replaced with one that doesn't have a threaded port for the tubing that goes to the switch. Or it's got a relief valve and...
