    CWSS's Elite Club membership goes to $199

    It has been $99/year for several years now and we have been pretty happy with it at that price. The new price is $199 and at first I was aggravated until I asked a few questions about what it now includes. It now includes LTL shipments, chemicals and over weight packages which it did not include...

    NAYAX vs CRYPTO PAY

    I would like to add a con to Cryptopay but also take one away: You have to use Worldpay as the processor and their customer service sucks. You can call Worldpay and change the name of your car wash to add "Pre-Auth" as a pre-fix to almost eliminate the bad reviews and calls about the hold...

    How scalable is your Biz….

    It is a wet extractor as opposed to vacuuming up the dry foam the combo vac puts out. Big difference in cleaning.

    Some car wash "history"

    Super Wash was still installing those in the 2000s for presoak but with poly braid hose so no roof repair needed when a check valve went bad. We had the setup before our pump went bad and switched over to a Flojet.

    How scalable is your Biz….

    We have been thinking about that for years but here would have the additional issue of freeze protection. My concern is that they wouldn't vacuum first and might clog the nozzle or it would get large "items" in the dirt water. I bet one of those would do well if it worked good and was priced...

    NAYAX vs CRYPTO PAY

    Has anyone on here had Nayax for years? They don't look like they would hold up well to chemicals, sunlight and ice but would like to hear some real world experience.

    Wash Bay pricing

    I could see that for sure. We have customers that ask what the price to start is because they did not look at the display long enough to see it.

    Wash Bay pricing

    You can have the modules replaced by Dixmor for $50 and according to them they had a bad batch of modules and are much better now. We bought a bunch of new LED6s in 2018 and had about half of them repaired since. They look different too. I doubt they will last longer than the LED7 modules but to...

    LED 6 is even easier to read.

    You will have to go to a one minute warning. You can change the duration of the beep though.

    Wash Bay pricing

    One thing I want to also mention. We had a lot of cash customers complain when we had a 3.6 minute start up because only two and a half minutes in they heard the one minute beep. In their mind that meant almost out of time and would constantly add quarters and it didn't help much with the...

    Wash Bay pricing

    We went from $2/3.5 minutes to $3/4.5 minutes in March and had a fair amount of push back. Our closest competitor is $1.50/4 minutes. I don't think any wash is at $1/minute in the greater Dayton OH area. When I hear of those prices it seems to always be in areas that have a higher cost of living...

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    After three crazy busy days (I love road salt) I checked the TDS in a self serve bay and it was 11. The RO system cycled many times today so we have used a lot of spot free water. I'm not sure what was going on before but I'm sure the problem will come back.

    Now you need to install an indicator light connected to the grid so you know when power has been restored. Otherwise how would you know? Wait until you see lights on at your neighbors?

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    Today the TDS was 10 after the tank filled last night.

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    Super Wash told me that anything above 35 can spot black cars. We sure are creeping that way faster than I would like. I would like to keep it as low as possible without going to extremes in order to buy us time to resolve issues like we have now.

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    Why did our TDS go from 14 to 24 in a week? When these membranes go do they go quick or do they creep up? Our system runs for almost an hour and puts over 150 gallons in the tank per cycle. Could the 250 TDS coming out of the machine for the first minute or two dilute the total total output...

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    If we order new membranes what else might we need as far as gaskets/seals/o-rings?

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    Why would they not do that from the factory on an expensive and complicated system like ours? Or maybe it is. I need to look.
