    I don't know much about those but you don't need to get to zero for spot free. There are different opinions on here but somewhere around 25 TDS for a black vehicle and 50 for lighter colors.

    Mortons Clean and Protect Softener Salt

    Rural King is $4.99/bag for Diamond Crystal. IIRC it was only $2.99/bag when we bought our wash in 2017.

    Leaking hydrominder tanks

    Those are tiny but work okay. It would be nice if they welded in a drain port but they would probably be $50 more.

    Mac from the forum

    That sucks. Mrs Our Town and I met him and talked for hours at his recently acquired wash in Cape Coral in 2019. He was a character.

    GE front load washer water valve.

    I'm not sure about the washer but remember you asking us about wells because you never lived with one. Most of us that responded said don't worry, problems rarely occur but as luck would have it you had issues.😬 Consider installing a large whole house filter. Hopefully you kept some plumbing...

    Looking to get into the business

    Take at least $500 and spend on business and investing books to get more sophisticated on the subjects. You might find that there is something else better than the car wash business that suits your situation.

    There is a book called "Car Wash Business 101: The #1 Car Wash Start Up Guide" by Buzz Glover. It is dated but it is something to start with.

    Cryptopay Tap issue

    You could swap swipers with another bay to see if it follows that swiper. If no change then try swapping the Cryptotap with another.

    Who is doing your maintenance?

    I think for you to get business your service should appear as good as the factory service available. How much experience do you have? Maybe focus on just a few brands that service is several hours drive away. Don't assume that because a wash doesn't work good that the owner is willing to pay to...
