    Ryko signature series

    I have the Ryko Signature Series and have had to replace various boards and even 2 timers ( the key pad ). I've used Radwell International, Inc to repair both the relay boards as well as the multiplexer ? ( Where all the cables plug into). Cost me about $225 to repair the boards compared to...

    Very hard for me to make the change to monthly

    I'd ask on the TalkCarWash Facebook page. There is a ton of tunnel guys on there.

    Standard/Rowe conversion

    Good to know and thanks for sharing. I have a 1400 and it's ok a best. Lots of rejects. Just replaced a PCB/photo eye and seems to be doing ok. I also have a Standard BCX1010RL bill/coin changer, and often wonder If I should pull the 14oo and put another small vending machine in its place.

    Hot water tank float/fill valve - Are there any that aren't complete rubbish?

    I went to my local irrigation supply store and bought a large brass valve that has been holding up great since this post.

    Installing larger meter boxes

    Mine are in the drivers side entrance corner of the bay. Never had a problem. If I did, I'd install covers over the acceptors.

    Solenoids for corrosive lo-ph triple foam? (And product suggestions?)

    I used one of these in a bind on my grand opening in July 2015, and it's still working. Since then, I've slowly replaced EVERY solenoid controlling cold/hot water that fails with these with great success. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rain-Bird-3-4-in-FPT-In-Line-Valve-CP075/202078357 Now I'll...

    Preauthorization bigest complaint on crypto reader

    Not sure :LOL: WashCard was the system in place and I believe that that was always the pre-auth amount. Maybe I should raise it to $20?

    Preauthorization bigest complaint on crypto reader

    We have a pre-auth of $14.75. I state on my google voice , or "answering machine" explaining the $14.75 charge and how it'll will revert to the actual use in 24-48 hours. Doing that eliminated about 99% of the calls about it

    Battery powered tools

    I have a have tried all the battery powered ones and just ended up buying a Stihl BR700. There is no battery powered unit that comes close to what the 700 puts out. 200 mph and 900+cfm.

    Post pics of your wash here...

    Thanks guys! I can't take the credit for designing it and building it - that goes to the original owners. Sadly they lost it due to financial reasons and I eventually bought it from the bank. I'm more than happy with the investment and given the numbers, I'd do it again and again...

    New Wash

    I'd hate to jinx myself but I've NEVER had any issues like Randy has posted at my wash. Actually, the other day was the largest item left - an old coffee wicker table that I just tossed into the dumpster. Before that it might have been the occasional grocery bag of garbage left behind. I...

    After thoughts from the 2019 Nashville Car Wash Show

    I liked that same setup. Yes. They had a LED SS boom that was nice.

    European IBAs

    Seems like the Chinese route is going to be your best bet if you want a new machine given your market there. So basically you have a used name brand or new Chinese. I guess you'd have to examine the unit. I'm not totally Chinese hating like some are - I always try to buy the better American...
