Good points Dave.

Someone poop in your paste wax this morning, Dave? :oops: Being an editor for at least a couple of magazines, she's probably gathering some material. Cut her a little slack.

Could you make some labels with a labeler and stick them right on the screen? I know it would look like crap, but hard times will make a monkey eat red pepper.

A guy at the tank place told me how to do this a few years back. In a nutshell, you will need to fish a rope through the manhole and through the outlet. Tie something midway on the rope so you can pull the fitting into the outlet hole. Leave ample length so that some is still out the manhole so...

It's how that particular member's car wash is equipped. I suggested that everyone list some particulars like that in their signature line, in the hope that it would help in diagnosing issues. I got the idea from the RV forum where it works quite well.

Maybe someone wired the switch to just break the ground. This could explain no power at that point. Keep in mind that I am not an electrician and haven't even stayed at a Holiday Inn Express lately. My family was shocked when the learned that!

The bolt diameter is most likely 1/2", so you would want a bit a little bigger than that. Problem is that the end of the lock barrel will probably not let the bit through. Even if it did, you would have to deal with it constantly hanging and breaking the bit. Maybe you could grind off the...

I had a Softwash XT. It was installed in Jan. 2018 and I sold the wash in Jan. 2020. In that two years I had one breakdown. It was the emergency stop switch. I jumpered it until I got a new one from ZORO for $14. The new owner was not a Mark VII fan, but said he is as pleased as I was and is...

Don't bother. A lot of the younger generation only know time in a digital sense and don't know what clockwise means.

Yep, the new one came in and we're back to sleeping between a wind tunnel and a sawmill.

I like that you put a picture of a $5 bill on there instead of a $1 like we all have done since Christ was a corporal. Why didn't I think of that?

Exactly. I bitched for years to get the decals mfrs. to quit using STOP. I also bitched to the CC people to give us some type of access to their STOP circuit, so it would make it easier for us to add some type of external STOP mechanism. I would go one step further on the OFF button, and make...

First off, the name! What would a "Rug" beater be used for at a car wash? Cars don't have rugs. Who brings rugs from their house? Cleaning toupees, maybe? That screwed up name is about like advertising "Ground dead cow sandwiches" and wondering why your burgers aren't selling.

He's been banned.

Jarrett, as much as I despise reading people airing their political beliefs, you had a way to get your point across (whether we agreed or not), without ramming it down our throats. It was usually entertaining, to boot. We miss you. I wish you would drop in to write an occasional article.

Advanced Radiant Systems (Ambi-Rad) is in the Indianapolis area. Having a supplier like that, within driving distance, can come in pretty handy when you're in a bind. Another operator in our region installed a furnace in the eq. room and ducted to the autos.

He actually posted something on FaceBook the other day. First I had heard from him in years.

I don't like having dry on the cheapest wash. Drying is a great incentive to bump up. Also, don't complain when crap blows out of truck beds, because you don't give them a no dry option. The wash I now use does that as well. If I have anything in the back of my truck, I have to rush through...

My 2006 machine was totaled in 2017. I got a brand new machine, less my 10K deductible. I also got lost revenue.

Mjwalsh, I’m surprised. With all the techy-techy jargon you use for the simplest of things, I thought you were the king of “unneeded complexity”.
