Greg, what's your thoughts on 3/8 vs 1/4 hose?

slash, are you running triple foam through the brush?

80, is that a 3 in 1 hose?

For you guys that run triple foam, do you have a designated boom for the triple foam gun? Do you have to have a boom or can you get away without using one? I currently only have 2 booms in my bays. A center mounted boom for the HP gun and a FB boom mounted on the opposite wall. If I went with a...

Does KR sell the coupler and bell housing that I would need? Do you have any recommendations for a 3/4 hp motor?

Mac, any specific pump you'd recommend? My wash is a 4 bay all SS.

Im thinking about installing spot free rinse at my wash. Does anyone have any experience or advice on building the repressurization system? I think I could save some money doing it myself.

Randy, do you use nu wall or nu wall2?

They blow water out the other end when I attempted to pressurize them but would not hold any pressure.

Got some bad news last night. Pressure tested my lines. A couple of them would not hold pressure at all. I could never even get enough pressure in them to move the gauge. Another I got up to 15lb but it was back to 0 with 10-15 seconds. I’m assuming this means that’s the leaks are very bad? What...

Are you guys using closed systems? One other things that confused me is I have soon some drawing that are labeled closed system but that have feed water plumbed into them? Wouldn’t that make them an open system? If your using a water glycol mixture you wouldn’t want feed water would you?

My ER is in the middle of the bays. I was honestly hoping I could copy your setup biz. If I remember correctly the Takagi has to have a minimum of 40psi to operate. How do you get 40psi when the pumps are only putting out 14-15 each? My understanding is that the primary loop is operating at a...

2Biz, I’ve been reading and rereading your thread about using a tankless heater. My wash abs your wash seem to be very similar. I figure I have about 1500 square feet to heat plus I’d like to heat the trough. My lines are 1/2” going out to the bays. I believe I’ve got a good handle on the...

2biz, I’ve looked through that thread numerous times. Someone told me that a tankless heater was not permitted for space heat/floor heat and therefor would not be up to code? I’m all for the most economical solution. I would probably have to get some professional help for the installation. I...

I have 4 bays

I haven’t used anything in 2 years. I go close the wash down everyday/night it’s gets close to freezing. I currently don’t have floor heat so it makes no sense for me to weep water. Would be more of a liability than anything. The wash is plumbed for floor heat. Right now I’m trying to figure out...

The car wash is currently open. I’ve had it for about 2 years now. Pvc would be the sharper way to go. Is there anyway to insulate pvc?

I took over a wash that was roughly 20 years old. The wash originally plumbed for floor heat but the boiler and all equipment were pulled out when I took over the site. I have no idea when the last time floor heat was even used. I’m looking into possibly getting a boiler but have a couple...

Great information. Thanks guys!

I’m assuming it’s ok to just lay the heat tape in the trough? It’s not necessary to wrap the lines? My ER is in the middle of my wash. Is it ok to splice the tape and run it both directions?
