    Triple Foam Setup

    He's not going to put it on his foam brush. It's going to be on it's own gun.

    Triple Foam Setup

    I don't see a big downside other than the time you will put into it. Assuming the switching single color at a time type you will need some type of controller/timer to switch between the colors. Also you will need to build a purging blow down/antifreeze injection system if you will use a foaming...

    More floor heat help

    On each end of the motor there are holes that go directly down to the bearings. In your first photo it looks like the one on the rear still has the plug in it. In your video it looks like the front one has the plug removed already. Some pumps have them also right where the shaft goes into the...

    Removing Blower Wheel from Taperlock Bushing Tricks

    Project Farm on Youtube made a video a while back comparing a slew of penetrating oils and based on the outcome I started buying Gibbs as it was one of the best ones. https://www.amazon.com/Gibbs-Brand-Lubricant-2-12oz-cans/dp/B00AFJXIJQ

    Removing Blower Wheel from Taperlock Bushing Tricks

    I have never had to deal with any that bad yet. What about drilling and tapping the jack screw holes to a 3/8-24. Also after putting tension on the new screws hit on the sides of the taper hub with a hammer. Then add more tension and hit with the hammer again. Repeat until you strip those out. 😁

    More floor heat help

    It sounds loud to me. What does the coupler look like? I wonder when was the last time someone put oil in the oiler holes.

    Coinless payment app - 1 month update

    On our count down devices (vacs) our attendant cards sometimes will activate the swiper but does not send the coin pulses so it shuts down the vac after 2 seconds. It happens to all the vacs and only started after we installed a Cryptotap on the auto. The only "fix" they have is to roll back our...

    Coinless payment app - 1 month update

    The feature can't turn it off. All it does is the same action as swiping a card in person.

    Check your new Erie foam brush heads

    We use the Erie hogs hair brushes and the last time we swapped all of them they seemed to shed a lot more than normal. I called them and they were not very helpful but said we could send them back to Car Wash Superstore if it continued. The shedding went away after week or so instead of a day or...

    wand heat

    How many BTUs does the new unit have and what is the GPM output combined on the two wands? How is the soap fed in?

    New carwash build cost

    That is going to be tough because it varies by region. Where approximately is this land located? What type of wash? Should I assume Express Exterior? If so I'll estimate at $2,500,000 to $5,000,000 plus land depending on how large/elaborate/fancy.

    Coinless payment app - 1 month update

    I just logged in to make sure they did not take it away and sure enough we still have the ability. Ours is under the "site status" page where it shows the connected devices at the bottom. I'm guessing that the lower level support people do not know that it exists but we have had it for over a...

    You need to ask them to add it to your dashboard. ;)

    Foam Brush Help

    To me 200:1 seems too weak. Is the 60 psi on the air coming into the Flojet or the air injection?

    Coinless payment app - 1 month update

    Your numbers don't seem to compute. Average transaction would be $2.83. Is this a count down set up and they have to activate the bay again on the app after it stops? With Cryptopay we can remotely start any bay, vac or auto.

    Touchfree vs Softtouch

    We lose some people everyday that we are moderately busy. They can't wait 5 or 10 minutes. For whatever reason a lot of people just don't have the time or patience that they used to.

    BOOMS

    I have never seen one at a car wash but I don't see how they would work very well. With the stacked double the hose/gun on the upper boom would not be able to go a continuous 360 without crossing the hose on the holstered lower gun. The triple seems like a self serve operator's worst nightmare...

    Income multiplier

    Around here from what I can see (I can't always see the net) those would be low multipliers. We just had our wash appraised and I think it was over the 10 multiplier. (need to double check that) That is why we still have only one wash at this time. Except for a few that got away the prices are...

    Income multiplier

    He is talking about using the net income (without depreciation and a few other line items) as a multiplier. I assume you are using gross income for the 3-4 times calculation.
