    Did you also ground them?

    Cat 5CP2120 pulsating, but intermittently

    Does it happen on every high pressure function? I have seen where the soap or wax line has a tiny leak (so small that it doesn't leak out liquid) in them sucking in air.

    Getting 24VAC transformers in phase sequence

    All I'm asking for at this point is if you have the primary side of all your transformers in phase sequence (read zero voltage from one bay to another) then do your secondaries read zero from bay to bay also? If yours do read zero, are your secondary commons grounded?

    Where do you get boxes that thick? 7 gauge is the thickest I have ever seen.

    Trouble with Air Shammee hose

    I see that often and Mrs OurTown thinks it is because they are used to using the arches at the EEs.

    Getting 24VAC transformers in phase sequence

    I have the incoming power to the transformers in phase with each bay. Now I have several bays that on the 24v side check 3 ish volts to one another, some that are 14 ish volts and some that are 17 ish volts. This is when comparing only the left terminal to the left terminal on each bay and then...

    Monorail?? Unknown in bay at our wash

    The Navigator is one of their newer machines and has a tiny fixed oval mounted on side rails and sizes to the car on the ends. They used to make a normal fixed oval. We had one that was spec'ed out by Super Wash. Almost identical as the one in the video on YouTube made at this wash.

    Getting 24VAC transformers in phase sequence

    I thought this would be easy but it is not working for me. Three phase 208V transformer input. I'm not sure how many combinations are possible but I think I tried 6 different ones on one bay. My thought is to get two bays to read zero volts between them on the meter and then work on the one that...

    You can add these to the swipers: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-66043-cryptopay-cryptotap-contactless-payment-unit.aspx OR replace the swipers with these but can't accept swipe or use their attendant cards...

    Great idea, or horrible idea?

    I agree. Rarely do I ever see anything that even slightly raises an eyebrow near here. He must have a great car wash deal sniffer.

    I'll give you some suggestions and it will be worth every penny you pay. 😂 Clean the brick well, but if you paint it, you may have a lot more maintenance later. Paint the facia a different color than blue (or gray)as it blends in with the sky. For now, stick with the rotary switches as they are...

    Poll: How many do you have?

    All the above and of course Google. Pinterest and Youtube although we don't put much on them.

    Buying a SS carwash. P&L's not correct.

    It is really hard to tell from just water usage but I'll give you a wild guess of $125K/year gross income. To me, that is a slower wash for that size.

    High pressure engaging when rotary set to wax

    When wax is selected does it still energize the wax solenoid valve? When other high pressure functions are selected do they all work fine and do they also engage the wax system?

    If you are new to the industry, you might want to consider selling the washes. 😂

    Car Wash Stands who is the best?

    Are you screwing with us? Looks better than the vast majority of the washes I have seen. Put some belt guards on those pump stands and go!
