I set up a cycle like that on a Belanger Vector to test on lightly muddy vehicles. It didn't clean as well as the regular 2-pass washes. It did do slightly better on the heavy dirt, but it didn't do much on the road grime.

I'd add another unit for just the dog wash. That's where you really don't want to run out of hot water. The car wash customers most likely will never notice. This is assuming you're not running low on flow. If that's the case, you might want to add a couple units or a storage tank and a...

What CC system or auto teller do you have?

The most chemical resistant insulation will be regular THHN wire. You can buy it by the foot in many colors at big-box hardware stores. I've been buying 100 feet at a time of 19 conductor 18 gauge tinned wire and strip it apart, which comes out much cheaper by the foot than buying spools of...

As I mentioned, if you use a single DPDT relay you will add four outputs, two NO and two NC, and each could run a different voltage. Output two is just on or off at set temperature.

That's unlikely, especially when you control what goes into the plumbing.

I was expanding on your comment for his benefit. I don't know that he's using a NC solenoid, he may need a NC circuit for something else entirely. Figured it couldn't hurt to let him know there's an option.

If you need a NC circuit, you can use a SPDT relay to reverse the switching. Or use a DPDT relay and you can have both NO and NC outputs in two different voltages if you ever need it.

Call Dixmor and ask them what you need to order. You can probably get it direct from Dixmor for the same price.

My guess would be he lost his ass on the deal and he's trying to sell land, building, and equipment at full assessed value.

Probably true, but it's really odd. They aren't intended to be left on the stand. I've seen someone do the same thing with new equipment in a car wash that was making at best $1000/month.

It's probably going to take a lot to make work in another unit. Hamilton must have designed the Commander around it. https://www.ingenico.us/binaries/content/assets/ca-website/smart-terminals/unattended/iuc285/ingenico-group_iuc285.pdf

The Coleman SS equipment is relatively simple and reliable, which makes it pretty easy to maintain for someone with basic mechanical aptitude. The IBA is much more complicated and harder to understand - if you don't plan on learning it and maintaining it, a lot of your income will go to a...

Are you creating multiple accounts and asking your questions/making replies on different ones? This will make it very difficult to track your posts and give helpful replies.

Both your IBA unit and your auto cashier will have a way to track cars washed and washes purchased.

You could embed a loop sensor so people could leave just by driving up to the gate.

I can tell you by watching nighttime video that if I were to close from 10 PM to 6 AM I might lose on average $5 or less at night. I'd do it if I could, then all cameras would be set to motion detect and set to alarm if anything at all moves on the lot.

Check valves inline won't stop anything going out to the bay. I assume you have spot-free rinse? Do this test, run one of the LP functions for at least a minute, turn it off and wait for it to completely stop, then turn on the spot-free, let that run until it's completely clear, then turn that...

Coleman equipment? It's normal, but it shouldn't run that long.

I have a Pandora account and a fairly new cell phone I don't use with a cracked screen. I might use the phone via wi-fi and plug the audio to an amp.
