There are many variables, Time, temp etc. Things to try. 1. Slow conveyor speed 2. Use a low PH soap which does not counteract drying agent like some soaps and helps dry cars. 3. Flipping top nozzles to get back of cars dry 4. Fresh water rinse before Drying agent app to get soap off, and...

I am assuming average 41 CPH is production which can be very different than conveyor speed. # Feet / Sec. is a more reliable benchmark. What is the foot / sec speed now? if Faster than 1/2 ft / sec set it at 1/2 foot per second Very Generous spacing would be 30 feet front bumper to...

A. You have a leak. Gets worse as pressure builds. Do you have any check valve - say for weep that could be bad? B. It's sucking air - Check supply tube. C. It's somehow starved for product - Check supply tube - Inlet strainer if any. D. Bad Pump. - Swap in a new replacement and see if same...

Best to err on the side of caution. Extra cost is nominal compared to the headache.

No issues for me.

Funny, had an issue Saturday. Spring Broke. Grabbed a spring from another Hydrominder. Valve would not open. Added a second float weight. Issue solved. Apparently weight of 1 float was not compressing spring hard or fast enough. So far no issues.

Reminds me of being at the Fishing supply store and having my dad by a lure and say:" Don't know if it will catch fish, but it caught me." So, as operators how do we know what customers like (Perception) versus what appeals to us? It's difficult. Sometimes I ask the customers questions...

Since I was using KR Low PH in my tunnel I started using it as the SS pre soak and the SS HP soap. I like it. Had issues with other products like PP Jelling.

When you take over a beaten down place the biggest challenge is overcoming bad juju and getting people to try you. The $1.00 is a way to do this. I would expect that he will need to raie prices over time. But to survive he needs to get people in.

Are the pro cons dead headed to the solenoids or do they only get power when the solenoid opens. How much amperage do they draw?

Replaced some 400 W MH with 150W LEDs and retrofitted some 320 W MH with 140W LED.

Read this again. Is the $15.00 for unlimited Full Service washes? That would be a tough one. What's his regular price?

An elements overlooked by respondents: 1. Average use game. If you Charge $3.00 for a wash and Charge $15.00 for unlimited and your incremental cost to put a cas thru the tunnel is $1.50 willl the average unlimited user wash more or less than 10 times a month. I suspect much less. 2. If...
