OK, I am trying the Kleen Rite Turbo with 1/3 of a 5 gallon pail of KR Purple Passion as suggested. What tip is recommended for my LW4000? I would imagine that I need to use a smaller tip than I was using with my Warsaw liquid presoak due to the viscosity difference.

Keep it, OP. I mean, it is making money, right? You are not realizing a tax savings any more but you are gaining money. For example. You make $100,000 per year. You buy a car wash for $1,000,000 with $700,000 of equipment. Lets say the car wash breaks even. You take $100,000 of...

Please elaborate.

So the guy trying to sell it to you claims that it is less than a 2 year payback? I'll take 10! and I suspect your broker would to if that were true. Who would sell a business which nets $78,000 per year for $150,000?

I did go to the City. My plea for a reasonable reduction in sewer rates fell on deaf ears. They said that if they gave me a reduction, they would have to give one to everyone. The Mayor also said that no other municipalities give reductions in sewer bills to car washes. She checked...

Ok, after a 30% raise in the sewer rates two years ago. The city is raising water and sewer rates by another 30%. That puts my Water and Sewer rate = $10.50 per 1000 gallons. I have RO reject reclaim. Is there anything else anyone would suggest? Should I start considering a reclaim...

I have the one that is now sold as Coinmate. I bought it in 2007. It is still running strong. I got it and a bill counter for $500 on ebay including shipping. Both work well. I did have to clean the coinmate once though. LOL.

Is that the same Australian car wash owner who had legionairres disease in his tank and was solely responsible for an outbreak???

Harvesting rainwater is not cost effective unless you have a BIG tank. I think the 22,000 gallons a year is probably about right with a smaller tank 1-2k gal. Factoring in time value of money, that is a never payback proposition.

Exactly! "by most business people's standards". However, the price of the wash appears to indicate that is the gross income not cash flow. I don't know many people who would sell a golden goose for the value of four golden eggs when the goose's life expectancy is at least 20 eggs!

I am not licensed to use herbicides and nothing following should be considered advice. It is only my personal understanding of things as I have heard them around the water tank. Pramitol is sold at the farm store. It is a total vegetation and soil killer. It is used for open areas with no...

Those are questions you need to be asking the seller. How could anyone here know what they are calling cash flow? I imagine with those numbers, cash flow is gross income. You really need to hire a consultant or go to SCORE or something. I would suspect that the cash flow is used to pay for...

Ditto what everyone says. I run my RO reject into my auto HP tank. I estimate the savings at around $100 per month which is probably around 8-10% of my total water bill. The reason the savings is so high is that my sewer rate is so high.

I am pretty sure you were told repeatedly that more information is needed and given suggestions about what you need to investigate. If you are looking for an answer about philosophically what you should do, ask your preacher or your mom.

The VW diesels get better gas mileage in Europe. The difference is in the emissions, I believe. They ran a test a couple years ago in Popular Science between a European VW Golf and a Toyota Prius. The VW Golf TDI got better gas mileage and had less harmful emissions than the Prius! I am...

I first brightened my displays by removing the cloudy UV filters and replacing them. Then I replaced them with a couple of the first two dixmor displays to be made. I have absolutely no regrets and my customers love them. I used to receive constant complaints that the displays were...

I recently had that issue and used horse hoof clippers to trim the heads off.

This. Or as I suggested to someone who was considering buying a wash, take a vacation from work for 2 weeks to a month and go manage the wash before buying. Yes, that's a lot of time, but is two weeks of your time worth more than the $350k investment? Probably not.

Your vacuum design must be different than any I have. With mine, there is only a mounting panel for the motor then a compartment above the filters and one below

Long story short, if the motor is spinning, it is getting the air it is moving from somewhere. Did you find out where?
