Are you saying I should reject 3 gallons out of 4?

That looks like the three phase motor version.

There are some wires on it that the insulation looks cooked. Turn off the breaker and make sure all connections are tight. It could be the motor drawing more current than it should. Do you have a clamp on multimeter to check amperage while running?

Yes, I remember talking to you about that at your big wash while looking at all those RO reject tanks. If we run a 2:1 ratio then we need 200 gallons but at 1:1 it would only be 100 gallons since that is about how much RO water is put into our 1,500 gallon underground tank.

25 years max and most likely above 10% right now with a variable rate. Banks consider car washes high risk. In good times they might deal on a down as low as 25% or even less but I think that ship has sailed for now. If you have big equity in your properties you can pledge them for collateral...

Have you explored commercial car wash lender offerings? You might be shocked to hear the down payment requirements and interest rates if they are even interested in lending to you.

That is what I want to do but the devil is in the details as we will make over 200 gallons of reject per cycle.

I see. So does low energy mean low flow? We do not currently recycle the reject water but want to. We just need to find a simple way to use it.

I went ahead and bought two of the Viton pumps and going to try them for now to get the machine install finished. If they do not work out I will get an electric motor driven pump installed before we open and have two spare presoak pumps.

I thought Fred at Huron Valley said that I would need to go to a larger pump for more than three membranes. Apparently, I don't understand because it looks to me if we reject 2 out of 3 gallons and keep 1 then how is that reducing wastewater? IIRC we were closer to 1:1 before. How will I know...

It could also be weep water from a valve leaking. Is it only one bay leaking?

Could be a solenoid valve not closing all the way on your spot free delivery system or city water feed on the high pressure pump stands.

That is an IVS/Ginsan vending machine.

The best place I have found for selling is Facebook Marketplace. Join the private groups "TalkCarWash Marketplace" and "Car Wash Equipment - Buy*Sell*Trade" and post your listings there.

$176/bay/week seems low to me but it is all over the place with car wash income. Yes, put in air dryers.

Finally a week later someone gets back to me from Xylem. He does not recommend those pumps as a solution but didn't give a reason.

Maybe it is still rare.

Interesting. Why do you think that happens? Maybe it runs longer because of ring blow-by?

Judging by the color, logo, location, and the fact that there is a space between the words I would say it is not the WashWorld most of us are familiar with.
