    "It rained mud last night!"

    We were in that same storm here in SW Indiana. A couple of tornadoes sighted and obviously, very high winds. We retreated to our tornado shelter for a bit while everything seemed to happen all around us. Luckily, we never lost power, nor had any damage. Now, if I were still in business, I would...

    which is better belt or direct

    I redid an old pump stand about 10 years ago. I used all Arimitsu pumps. With 4 outlets, instead of 2 like the Cat, plumbing is much easier and cleaner. It eliminates a lot of tees and adapters. Sometimes I cringe when I see the bulk of fittings hanging off the side of a pump, at the mercy of a...

    Water meter size

    A 1" pipe is 1/4 the size of a 2" pipe. I think you would be asking for a lot of unnecessary problems.

    New Washworld?

    I remember a few years ago they were going to introduce something new and exciting at the show. Seems they hyped it pretty good. I don't even remember what it was. I think it was about as exciting as applesauce.

    This is how we do it in New England

    I always did the same with the sheets of ice that came off the wall. Just slide one grate back and wash it right in.

    Bots

    I'm not sure. I don't really know how to definitely tell what is a bot and what is not. I don't really understand what their purpose is, unless they stick a link in their first post. Those first timers that post something mundane or irrelevant, I usually check out, but they seldom put enough...

    Auto identification

    I agree that it's a Southern Pride TurboWash. There is one in the small town I live in. The owner says his was built in 1984.

    Nayax Old

    Since Nayax gets brought up quite often, Greg Pack suggested that we might benefit from it being a sticky. I agreed with him, so here it is. If this helps, you're welcome. If it doesn't, well it was Greg's idea. cjc118, I hope you're okay with me modifying the thread title.

    This is your guy. I'm amazed every time I see this. Amazing, right? What's more amazing is that the garage picture is the "Before".

    Air solenoids

    Leave it. It has educational value just as it is.

    Vacuum safety / Is this an industry wide concern?

    Why? Vacuums are virtually unchanged for the last 30 or so years (excluding fancy combos). They are almost exclusively stainless steel and all of the other parts remain virtually unchanged. Why should any standard vac be replaced, when it can be renewed for a fraction of the cost?

    CWSS's Elite Club membership goes to $199

    I was thinking it was closer to five years. I sold out three years ago and left over 50,000 points in my account.

    310 pulsating on startup

    Actually, no. When I was a kid you could get them just for the asking. It's nothing at all now to have to pay $100 or more for one.

    310 pulsating on startup

    Okay, I dealt with this a decade or so ago, and here's what's probably happening. Air is getting trapped in that big 2" PVC pipe. That bay is probably at the high point and that pump is going to get the gob of air before it gets it's water. I had the same pump stands (2) and as the one next to...

    Laser 4000 issues

    Why do operators waste time with that stupid a$$ set-up? They only come down in blanket fashion the first day and then are tweaked into infinity. Set it up to come down in streams like a rain bar and be done with it. I doubt that any customer gives two squirts about the silly, broken, sheet of foam.

    MEI Validator Repair

    If Randy has the parts, I would just send them to him for repair. He did all of my repairs and they always came back working perfect. I'm sure that one day his parts source may dry up, but just cross that bridge when you get there.

    Have an old hydrospray system

    You've got a lot of weight hanging on that nipple at the pump head. I feel like one day you will come in and see that swinging from the HP hose.

    High Pressure Hose Suggestions

    There was another post under whitescout's name that I had previously deleted. That may be the one you are thinking about.
