    Making a 4-port solenoid manifold for my pump stand

    I use them all on fresh water - hot and cold. Probably have about 4-5 of them around the wash. I have never replaced one and have some going on 4 years old. I've had Dema's not make it 3 months. YMMV. These will be controlling the city water supply to the pumps on my SS side.

    Making a 4-port solenoid manifold for my pump stand

    My (2) brass 2-port manifold blocks are leaking water past my solenoids, and I'm need to stop that. I'm going to rebuild / make a manifold using irrigations solenoids ( always available at HD and not only do they last 10x as long as car wash specific ones, cost only $12). Not sure If I want to...

    Siphoning Hydrominder

    Spring clamps. I was using a mini torch to hear the hose to remove the foot valves. Keep thinking that I had a bad batch of FV's. Started putting spring clamps on everything and fixed the issue.

    Feed back

    I'm at $2.50 @ 3:30. Closest competitor, about 2 miles away is at $1.00 @ 2:00, but the place is old and dumpy looking. My place is one of the nicest washes around, EE/tunnels included. Been thinking about going up.

    Thawing out a bay

    I can just speak from experience. My probe was originally siliconed on the stone facade on the north side of my wash ( in shade ). Constantly was freezing up and when I took an infrared thermo to the building it was reading 20+ degrees higher. The radiant heat was affecting the probe, thus in...

    Thawing out a bay

    Well, I'll guarantee you it's picking up heat from the structure, throwing off the timing of the weep( you are running a weepmizer no?) Just a degree or two higher and it'll freeze.

    Remote Ownership of SS/Auto Car Washes

    The problem I find is that most people I come across nowadays have no mechanical ability. The sound kids, if it's not attache to a game controller or cell phone, they're lost. Plus, most SS washes don't need a F/T attendant - more so a occasional clean up. People are looking for F/T jobs...
