I had a 25 x 50 area covered in used oil with the worst one.

https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-1766-fluid-controls-1-4-telfon-hp.aspx I have no trouble with these. I tried their Viton seal ones, but sometimes the o-ring would come off. The Teflon ring on this one is on securely. The only other trouble I had was using a 1/4" on medium pressure spot-free...

FWIW there are some that require a minimum pressure to heat water without damaging the heat exchanger. I looked into it some time ago when I considered using an on-demand heater with a circulating pump to heat water in an open tank.

When I have a bad oil spill on the lot (Three times so far this year, I'm talking at least a gallon) I pick up what I can with clay absorbent, then I put down degreaser, scrub it, then pick that up with more clay absorbent. I can get the concrete completely clean without one bit of it getting...

My business partner has three washes, all of which have employees to keep them clean and do minor repairs. He only visits them once a week to handle the money. I do all his repairs above changing a hose or a vac motor, and I spend maybe a couple hours a month at each one, certainly something a...

You shouldn't be getting slime in the pail. If you are, switch to something else, don't screw around with something that could harm someone's pet.

Are you planning to run the bays at 5 GPM? Typically you run them at slower than maximum RPM and 3 GPM at the bay. My tank is 1' wide by 2 1/2' tall and deep, and is pretty typical in size for a car wash. The soap and wax can be much smaller since only a small fraction of the liquid drawn by...

The main one is that your customers will spend more because they can just swipe and wash non-stop without worrying so much about the cost. It also helps that they can't soap up the car and let the time run out while they dry-brush. Count-down has little advantage to you over cash other than...

Either way there's a 30 second delay before the button will do anything. Have you considered replacing the timers and going count-up?

I've never had an issue with Fragramatics products separating and clogging the lines. When I worked for a distributor we mixed our own with Nevitt concentrates and isopar oil, one of the guys would leave the concentrate containers open and after exposure to air for a few months it would...

Yes, I'd recommend replacing the timer with a timer or a time delay relay that doesn't accumulate time, otherwise you'll have people punching in a bunch of minutes and leaving it running. Then just add a pushbutton.

A friend of mine who was actually a tech for a company that mainly serviced touchless autos bought a used car and took it through a Laser 4000, after which the paint looked like crap and the clearcoat looked like it was almost starting to lift off the car. He said he yelled and cussed at the...

Fragramatics fragrances last longer in the car and actually smell like what they're supposed to. Kleen-Rite's smell good but you only get a vague hint of what they should. FWIW I only use oil-based, the fragrance lasts for several days where the water-based lasts about five minutes to an hour.

I don't know about xylene, but in my experience I've never had a sign harmed by acid cleaning unless it was already compromised. A good quality sign made of Lexan laminate on an aluminum backing won't be harmed at all. Some of mine are coated steel with vinyl lettering and clean up like new...

It's not exactly a standard cable, it has a 4-wire clip plug on one end and a 6-wire clip plug on the other. They're hard to find now that you can't buy corded phones everywhere, but they're not impossible to locate. It was the standard cord between the phone handset and the base. The 6-wire...

It's not mine, I would never have let anything get like that. The presoak hadn't been working for months because the strainer was completely clogged. That tank and stand was from the economy line of the equipment we sold when I worked for a distributor. That tank is 25 years old and...

Cryptopay has a one year warranty on their hardware, which they will void if you open it to replace the button. If it turns out to be bad, they will replace it under warranty. If you eventually do have a bad button after the warranty is up, they are soldered to wires, not directly to a board...
