MEP are you using hot water for rinse water?

2biz are you using immersion heaters or just a hot water heater?

MEP001 thanks for the reply, currently my water for all my bays comes out of the rinse tank then through valves and down to the pumps. If it is a hp function then the chemical is added in after the water passed through through the valves via a solenoid. In your opinion would it be easier just to...

My wash currently has 1 rinse tank and the water from the rinse tank mixes with the diluted hydrominder chemicals before they enter the pump. So currently I have 1 tank that provides water for my rinse and hp functions. If I were to heat my high pressure functions would it be more economical to...

Chaz, thanks for the reply. I’ve tested my water with the hardness test strips and best I can tell the hardness is somewhere between 7 and 15. Do you heat your chemical with a water heater and do you use immersion heaters?

2biz I do have a weepmizer that is set up to weep my guns and my FB. This is my first winter in the car wash business and I am trying to figure out if it is better to weep the FB or shut off the FB weep and use winter soap? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have not tested my water yet but...

thanks for the help guys. It is much appreciated. Can you guys tell me the benefit of heating water/ chemicals? I currently am not heating anything. Do chemicals clean better hot? Do you get a better yield when heating? Also I am trying to get prepared for winter. My equipment is heated and...

Thank you for the help. What about high pressure soap? Is it calculated based on the hydrominder tip plus the amount of gallons my pumps are dispensing per hour? For example if I’m set up at 4 gallons per minute how does that affect it?

Hey everyone, this may be an ignorant question but please be patient with me. I have only been in the car wash business for a few months. I was wondering how you calculate chemical dilutions. For example if I'm trying to get tire cleaner to a 90:1 dilution how do I calculate that? Is it based...
