    Stopping Brush/Wand Theft - This Product Work ?

    With what, a grinder? I've never had an issue with the Kuri-Tec clear wire reinforced hose maintaining a coil. I've been using it for 30 years. If they're cutting wire braid hose, the single wire won't even slow them down.

    How much revenue loss to expect from new nearby carwash?

    There's no industry standard for this sort of thing. An established and well-run wash can usually hold up to some competition, but if the new one is in a better location it will probably ruin the older wash. If everything else is equal, you could still compete with better quality and price...

    Need suggestions on area/parking lot LED floodlights

    I've seen these used in a couple of washes, and they're more than sufficiently bright with just two per bay (These are not Hyperikon brand but their specs are identical)...

    Foam Brush Hose

    It won't prevent cutting, but it helps prevent them from stealing the brush and handle. I've repaired this cut hose with a Push-Lock style double barb by removing the yellow plastic rings and pushing the hose over the center until the ends meet.

    Hamilton Cashier 'Unexpected Coin Drop'

    The new style switches are junk - the first time I ordered some, one was bad and the other paid out erratically. I had to swap the wires just to get the changer back up. The second time I got two, one would misread on the counter. I know why Hamilton stopped selling the old style, but these...

    Why is Kleen-Rite Shipping so much?

    That's not them overcharging you, that's just them not trying to do the best for you. They don't have standing rules in-house to take note of such an issue, they just ship what they have. I found out recently that there are only 2-3 full-time employees at each of their huge and busy...

    Do you carry, what and why?

    If I'm armed and one guy with a knife or a bat tries to rob me, I most likely won't have to shoot him unless pointing a gun at him doesn't stop him from coming at me. If I'm pulling money and two or more guys come at me, I will absolutely shoot. The original owner of this wash told me his...

    Google Business Listing /Page

    I have considered getting a P.O. box and then have mail addressed to the car wash forwarded to that. I suspect the post card not showing up is because the route person is too lazy to figure out where this new place is and throws it away.

    RO system price?

    The wiring is very easy. You will have one wire from each bay for each solenoid and each post of your multiplexer plus one common wire that will combine and go to one terminal of all the solenoids as well as the "common" input to your multiplexer. The output of the multiplexer for the pump...

    RO system price?

    FWIW I would build the delivery system since it's nothing more than a pump, a bank of solenoids, a tank, and something to turn on the pump when a bay is selected.

    Guns get hit if customer pulls in too far

    Make sure the boom is swinging freely and tilted properly so the hose stays as close as possible to the wall with the gun put away.

    Tire Cleaner Delivery Time to Bays

    You could add a check valve to prevent air pushing back through the pump, but I would recommend both a check valve before the pump and a bypass regulator after the pump with the bypass returned to the tank. With that setup, if you have a check valve fail in a bay it will just come back into the...

    Tire Cleaner Delivery Time to Bays

    You can turn the pressures up, but you need to increase air pressure a lot so you don't go through a ton of chemical. When doing that you might have a chance of the air pushing back and causing the pump to lose prime. I try to find a balance where I get a very foamy product but the air and...

    Do you carry, what and why?

    I've been telling her for years that it's better than a taser since it sprays a good 12 feet so she doesn't have to come in contact with the person. At any rate, we talked about it and she said she'd rather be armed. FWIW, I picked up the M&P9 Shield 2.0 9MM yesterday along with a case of 500...
