    Solenoid Valve max pressure question

    Yes. I was using Dema's on my pump rack for my radius and notices a high failure rate. THey're rated for 150 psi and the pressure at the manifold is 300 at times. I switched to Danfoss and will see how they hold up.

    Got loan questions?

    Owner carry - You come with with the 20% and the owner acts as the bank/lender/mortgage holder. I've bought many commercial properties like this. A business is a bit trickier and since car washes are even more difficult to finance, it's usually the best option for someone wanting to get out.

    Hog Daddy foam brush

    Yeah and I'm getting tired of the adaptors and how the side bristles get smooshed from being in the holders. Might try the Hog Daddy

    Blendco supersat set up?

    I'm running the system. My rep set it up and I've never messed with it. I did go up a lot on my tips to produce a better show. I charge the most of all my competitors.

    Convert a bay to several pet washes?

    The dog wash is a PITA. I'd explore maybe detailing. Full service or express.

    Feedback on Washify Paystations for In Bay Automatics

    I've heard GREAT things about them on other sites. The only complaint I've heard is the bill recycler is problematic at best and more accurately total crap. Beautiful units and I'll likely use one with a Petit 360 I plan to install eventually.

    Coin Shortage??????

    Yep. I usually go through a couple hundred in $1 dollar coins a week. I haven't been able to source coins in a while. Yesterday I was able to get $100. Luckily I keep some on hand and have had to recycle coins.
