    Low pressure check valves

    How do those compare to the US Paraplate CVs that are also in that price range?

    New Touchless!

    I know right where that is and have used your wash several times in past years. We used to go to Louisville every summer for an event and would stay in our fifth wheel at the KOA in your town. You definitely have the best wash in town. Good idea replacing one of those Soft Glosses for a Razor.

    1/2" ID suction hoses instead of 3/4" and adjusting with ball valve?

    Supersaver low pressure questions

    I thought that was a given. I'm only talking about the feed lines from the tank to the pump inlet. Without flow meters you are pretty much in the dark on whether it is pulling or not. Soap is easy to see in the bay but some waxes are more difficult to see and smell.

    Supersaver low pressure questions

    This is where flow meters on the chemical feed lines come in handy.

    Poll: Biden vs. Trump's era

    I know two HVAC company owners and neither came from the fuel retailer industry. Maybe it is a Vermont thing because I have never heard of that. Around here fuel oil is dying off in favor of propane because of the fuel cost. Most houses in and around Dayton Ohio are on piped natural gas though.

    Poll: Biden vs. Trump's era

    Another issue with solar is how much the sun is shining. When you think of cloudy areas you think of the Pacific Northwest but Ohio is right on its tail at over 50% of the days having heavy cloud cover. Well what do you know....its cloudy outside here right now. My Grandpa had a solar panel...

    Poll: Biden vs. Trump's era

    I love the concept of geothermal but the install cost just doesn't make sense. My parents had a retrofit install at their house and it was something like $35,000 and that was 8 years ago. Another person that I know had a system put in a smaller house and was still over $30k. They had trouble...

    Public phone number displayed at facility for if any concerns

    Yes on Grasshopper. There are many tiers and the one we have is on the lower end and I'm thinking it is around $300 a year.

    Public phone number displayed at facility for if any concerns

    We use Grasshopper for our landline at the wash. It forwards it my cell. We have it set up so the caller has to press 1 for customer service and 2 for all other calls. When I answer it tells me which option they pressed and if it's one I answer. If it's 2 I let it go to voicemail. It's a nice...

    New wash Owner ??

    It's not just about the best ROI but also keeping customers coming back because you have something they want that no other wash has. Consider adding presoak and spot free rinse. What is your water quality there? Is there a water softener? If this wash is open now how well is it doing? Does your...

    I think he should change it to I.U.2B. Washincars.

    Dixmor LED-7 Timer Obsoleted

    I think that is the nature of that beast BUT they had a batch of modules they installed that only lasted a year or so. We had a whole bunch of them go bad in the first year that were bought in 2017. I think they were installed for about a year and a half but not sure exactly the date range. The...

    PH strips

    Maybe it is your protectant. Try a wash without it and see if it leaves the streaks.

    PH strips

    Do you have a titration kit for your chemicals? I find it more accurate than checking pH although we do that too. It is really just for future reference once you get it dialed in washing cars well. Our presoak is around 12 pH or so and we are running it pretty hot relative to what we were...

    Income multiplier

    Based on the cap rate they are probably not doing half that and should have built a single IBE or just a double IBA. Asking about a million too much in my opinion. I doubt anyone could get a loan on that unless they put a boat ton down and then why would you do that?

    Has anyone converted their long IBA to a mini tunnel?

    I would say at the very low end would be $75,000 but probably more like $100,000 depending on pay and hours open.
