    getting business picked up?

    I have a huge road project going on right in front of my wash at the corner. They're building a traffic circle. My business is up 30%. Not sure if it's because of the much slower moving traffic ( 45-50mph to 15mph ) or dirtier cars from the construction. Not complaining

    I've had this problem in the past to and I'm going to try notching a hole in the discharge tube ( higher than the float of course) I appreciate the seasoned and experienced operators sharing the info. Saves people a lot of time instead of trying to figure it out on their own.

    Looking for dog wash advice.

    And it should. It'll need to be cleaned after each customer. I have a dog wash. Luckily I have a great attendant that lives on site. If It wasn't for that, I'd probably close it as it requires too much attention.

    New touchless Automatic

    I looked at both at the wash as I have an older Radius that's looking tired. From a pure aesthetics standpoint, the 360 is a much nicer looking machine. I know in the grand scheme that is pretty insignificant but in the end, we are selling an "experience" to the customer. Isn't that the...

    I'm trying to figure out a way to make my vac's(combo vacs too ) free. Free across the board. I want it so it's push a button, get 6mins. Not sure how to do it with my Fragramatics. I bought a non-accumulating timer thinking I could wire that in, but I don't know.

    Having a issue on HP soap - Seeing 2000+ PSI....

    Pulled the pump and found a bad seal. I think you were right as I'm pretty sure that I continually cranked up the regulator in an effort to keep PSI at 1400. Belt was loose too. When the pump goes into bypass ( for example HP Rinse + trigger released) I'm seeing 1600PSI at the gauge. Is that...
