    No more Coins..CC or Cash Only..Very Nice.. 54% Cards.

    My observation - Demographics matter. I offer Bills, CC and quarter acceptance in Bays. Still get plenty of quarters. If people really did not like using them there is no reason they would , yet there they are. I Sell gasoline in the City of Chicago and know people who sell in the burbs. CC...

    R.O. system problem

    I understand. I note other operators have said how much use the SFR gets. Not sure if this means overall time useage increases or if instead they use my HP and Wax for the rinse. Had a D& S distributer try to get it going. Replaced parts, cost me about $2500 and said I might need another...

    Best way to control pump for SS low pressure functions...

    I see your point. Have yet to see how this may improve the customer experience. Plus I have seen how some hydra Flex setups are made to have a standby pressure pump in case one fails. Seems easier to have a spare flo Jet and hydrominder / rebuild kit.

    R.O. system problem

    FWIW I took over an SS with the spot free not working. Never got it working because I thought th benefit did not justify the cost. I still think that way.

    Best way to control pump for SS low pressure functions...

    Why wouldn't it be he same as a hydrominder venturi? The volume would change, but within certain operational parameters the ratio should remain constant..

    Best way to control pump for SS low pressure functions...

    My thoughts are as follows. 1. Why 200 PSI for low pressure functions? I have tunnels with "Surge Tank Systems and the pump is set to maintain 60 PSI which is plenty for the tunnel. Their is a bladder tank with pressure switch. 2. How do you think this will improve the customer experience...

    Foam brush Setup

    1. Could be the chemical. Adjust concentration, BUT 2. Contrary to what Mr. Fixit says, I think less is more. But all this can be affected by the setup. (Where T is, 3/8 vs 1/4 etc. ) If you try to put too much solution and air thru the line and hole it will Kill the foam. I would keep 50...

    Drying issue on top of car

    Are you sure chemistry has not changed or are you sure set up has not changed? I would check DA first to make sure Dosatron is still sucking / producing proper dilution. Is there a suction strainer that could be clogged? Can Dosatron have issues? Swap it out. Could you have rec'd some bad DA...

    Foam brush Setup

    See this with explanation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlRMAQnwIPw I think T in equip room may let foam die before it reaches the bay. AFAIAC no foamers needed per video.

    New issue

    Got the winter 2016 issue. If only you had a graphic with a female superhero holding a High Pressure gun (Like the Uncle Sam graphic from years ago) we could have made copies / stickers and used them at the wash.

    Liable or not?

    Attendant at exit don't stop the numb nuts who bump another car in the center because that is where they hit the brakes and the belt won't prevent the person from bumping someone because they have it in drive or reverse. Of course the poor bumpee has sometimes tried to claim that the wash is...

    Liable or not?

    1. Don't understand the curb thing - how that would work 2. Attendants are present, but they are 80- 100 feet from location of the numb nuts and typicaly it's after the horn honking and contact that they stop the conveyor. Had my deposition testimony elicited if attendant would stop conveyor...

    Going on vacation - how do you owners/operators do it?

    1. If you can get away with only having changers serviced buy Separate new locks for those and give the person you trust keys for those only. Depending on Hopper capacity put $1k in each. Instruct person to replace with quarters exact amount he takes out and record it. When you get back...
