Have you checked your water hardness lately?

That does not seem like much usage for an 8 bay and an auto. Is it a touchless auto?

What about up North here when people get stranded on the interstate because it's shut down from the ice? It happens multiple times per year somewhere. People will bring them food and gas so they can stay warm and not starve. As far as I can tell there's no way to charge an EV on the side of the...

That is exactly how we want to set ours up but have a dryer on the last spot. Still struggling between having a 12 position switch with two stop positions or a 10 position switch with a relay to turn something on in the normal dead spot. (have no stop position)

They took it a little farther than that.

How will that work with cash customers?

We are doing exactly this.

If the tags are still readable then just do an internet search for them. Also document what they are for the next replacement.

Don't forget about the cost of the cards as they might be a large percentage of expenses if your start price is low (and the cards are low value) and your customers toss them in the trash after using. I'm not trying to discourage the idea because we also would like to figure out a way to satisfy...

You will most likely save a lot by buying a project wash vs building new. The issue is that new SS only washes won't pencil out because you will probably have over a million dollars in it. The newest one around here that I can think of was built over 35 years ago. If you put an automatic in it...

If you already have Cryptopay then you could order the Valutec "store cards" and sell them pre-loaded at different price points in a spiral vendor. The downside for reloading them with cash at an un-attended location is that you would have to be there to accept the cash and then load it manually...

Holy cow that's a lot to unpack.

Our presoak is JBS Action High dual injected with their booster and usually checks in between 11.8-12.1 pH. It titrates between 33-38 drops with their kit. We use it for both self serve and the old fixed oval touchless and cleans really well. Several have told us even that is too high for the SS...

Do you have the abuse now or are speculating you would if offered unlimited?

Are saying that you had people changing license plates to other vehicles so they could wash them on their membership?

They might still think that but they put brushes in all the corporate owned ones around here years ago. Their "Super Soap" presoak is pretty dang good though maybe not quite as good as they tout it to be.

Some do. Our boiler was down for about a month several years ago and had many customers asking when it was going to work again. We gained some customers from other car washes that let their boiler go and not replace. Probably more notice it in the winter.

The Carolina Pride Turbo Dry III says it uses a 4 HP motor but maybe the earlier ones were smaller HP?

I'm not sure about the multiple vac motor style but the single motor three phase ones are more powerful. They are also quieter and should be maintenance free. I think the only other brand besides Diskin that has a single three phase motor is Carolina Pride. The power unit is called a...

If looking at tankless be warned that they can severely restrict flow to your pumps. Each model should have a flow chart but you will need to know the incoming water temp. Some can be run in "commercial mode" where it bypasses the flow restrictor but it usually voids the warranty. You could put...
