    Question about trash.

    You can use bags and save money by re using them. This can help keep your cans clean. I think you fit more trash in your dumpster without bags. So you can: A: Use bags in your cans ad leave them in as you just empty the can inro the dumpster leaving the bag in ;or B. Pull the bags out, take...

    Reducing Winter Troubles and Utility Costs in SS Bays

    I think it's a lot of work for nothing. With only one end closed the bays will retain little if any heat. Whiie wind will cool things more quickly "Wind Chill" is mostly irrelevant with inanimate objects.

    Sump Pump use for waste calculation

    Ditto. Most of the time it's just a revenue raiser called a Sewer Tax. They don't give a hoot about acual discharge. Check that out before wasting a lot of time and energy to see if they will base it on real numbers.

    hydro minder vs hydroflex

    Please advise which check valves you are using. Size, Type, and source. I use some as well but I am not certain I have found the best solution.

    hydro minder vs hydroflex

    Out of 4 locations, 3 use Ultra lean tips for ultra concentrates. I can't say that I see any more issues than with regular tips. 2 locations that use them exclusively have a seperate "Surge Tank" with water pump keeping pressure fairly steady. One uses city pressure and worls well. The 4th...

    moving the bottom packages up

    If 40% are basic, this means 60% upgrade? I don't know if this is a bad % or not according to industry standards. Perhaps others know what the upgrade % is. I do know that anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that the higher over all volume of an EE the lower the percentage upgrade seems to...

    In-Bay and Vac Station Lights

    Thinking of calling to see about the 100w Fixtures. If they are about $100 each I will try 2 to see how they work. Bought some 150W fixtures from TSS and tried 2 for 6 months to replace old 400W MH and they work great but they cost $500.00 each.

    In-Bay and Vac Station Lights

    In looking at T8's I noted that there is a "Ballast Factor" which affects lumens. Seems a lot of Ballasts are rated at .85 which menas you get .5% out of what you put in . Some are hhigh output at 1.15 or so. I thhink the lumen output is higher proportioneately as is electricity used. For...

    Bubbles for the Buck

    Certainly anything will dilute something. I think any dilution is nominal because Low ph pre Soak is applied first with Flo Jet at about 40 PSI, For single foam stick locations I have Low PH Soap, Triple Foam sticks have regular triple foam. All cloth feeds ad low PH to the water supply...

    Future Winter Snow Woes

    Some places have signs. "We wash Cars - remove dirt - We don't remove ice an snow. " or "Car Wash removes dirt, not ice and snow". I will offer one immediate re wash at no charge. I can increase the water temp to some feeds. This is also handy when it gets below 20 degrees outside. I also...

    Bubbles for the Buck

    I like it. KR is about $70.00 fopr 5 Gallons and dilutes per their reccomendation at 600-900/1. I use the ultra lean tip at about 500/1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlRMAQnwIPw&feature=c4-overview&list=UU2oDMe1Aklko_tcNnsQJJaA

    I'm thinking those specs are too low since the Yellow spring 2121 has 21GPM at 2150 PSI

    Unloader GP2124

    Because it was set up that way when I inherited it. Both for that and the wheel blasters; and I had the same though since the outlet is always open, but I thought perhaps if the pump put out more than the jets allowed to pass at the allowable pressure there should be some reason for it to...

    Length of boom hose.

    I can guess at the reason for this setup. However could you please share? Are they both the same diameter? What type of swivel?

    Bubbles for the Buck

    I use KR Low PH and triple foam in the Tunnel and Cherry Blossum Foam brush in the SS. I have bubblers in the tunnel that are more about the Show than the cleaning. This is put on top of the low PH. So, since the bubble capacity is most important what gives the most bubble for the buck? My...

    Producton Capability

    I think one of the lessons here is that manpower, if available can help relieve bottlenecks. Auto paystations are great until a customer has an issue which will drop production drasticaly perhaps unless or until a human helps them out. At peak times a human at the stations for assistance could...
