I used to love guys like you…back when I worked as a sales guy. A new product idea meant new equipment sales and the “juice” that went with it. In many cases, the new product withered out rather quickly. As did my expectations that I’d be selling more juice. When I added tri-color to my own...

They’re “foam generators”. Filled with plastic pot scrubber, they aren’t really needed for foam brushes. I like to use them on foam guns because they seem to smooth the flow from the nozzles.

I've always used double ferrule compression for SS installations. Fast, simple, and trouble free.

Or, one of my ex-partners! :ROFLMAO:

I have local sources for SS tubing, SS fittings, Hydrazorb or Cush'n'Clamps, etc. But, it's a metro area...with many wholesale distributors. One online source, with "reasonable" pricing is: StainlessSteelFittings.com View post #3 photo to see how I install. Inside the equipment room the...

Couple hundred bays of SS and IBAs in use in CO/WY/AK. I don't recall ever having to replace a freeze damaged tube. An improperly bent tube?...well, that's another story. (Rookie!!!)

I always use 304L Stainless Welded Tubing .375 OD for high pressure bay supply. Plan well because the stainless steel compression fittings will give you sticker shock! However...it's unlikely that you'll ever have to replace the high pressure lines.

I've seen it happen due to extreme water hammer. The IBA water tank had a float switch/solenoid valve that would wake the dead when it closed. Before they could get a large enough expansion tank installed, it destroyed the resin and broke the distributor. IIRC, the facility had an undersized...

Get yourself some seal nuts... https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/apm-hexseal/N9060X1-4-2/3712291 and some silicone grease... https://www.homedepot.com/p/DANCO-0-5-oz-Silicone-Faucet-Grease-88693/203193536 Squeeze some grease into the switch‘s stem and use the seal nut instead of the...

I have several 6, 7, 8-bay customers operating with G57 pumps with no issues. If you're concerned about volume, FloJet offers a dual G57 that can provide up to 10 GPM.

No offense to PNK but, I like the old better. The new one is too busy for my eye. The credit card logos, fonts and the swoopy arrow read better on the old one. Without bill acceptors “Bay time only, No Change Given” is unnecessary. Your logo would look better above the timer. Maybe rewire your...

Yep. I know your of your location. I’ll give you a call after my golf game.

lucky... I'd be happy (and interested) in helping you figure it out.

Hey 2! One can only play so much golf!:D

Just completed these systems for a client... Lochinvar 800k Firetube for floor heat...nearly 7,000 sqft of heated concrete. 500k Armor + 119 gal storage tank for super busy 8 bay. These modern high efficiency boilers are simply awesome!

If you're looking for a "system", I might be able to help. Here's a thread that discusses freeze protection concepts and components. https://www.carwashforum.com/threads/weep-water-flow-amounts.15055/#post-114399

Pretty unusual for an experienced equipment supplier to undersize a softener system for the described facility. Possibly, the system was intended as soapy stated...for chemicals and RO only? If true, it’s the plumber’s fault for not following the plans. Or, the equipment supplier was a dufus.

Ouch! Based on your data that water softener can treat no more than 4,500 gallons. That would explain the frequent regenerations. The softener is grossly undersized for the facility if its indeed feeding an IBA, SS bays and RO system.

Mac... Give us the details of your location. I'll wager that all of the long time forum members will gladly give you 5 star reviews. Well...except for the guys you've POed. :ROFLMAO:

I’ve always used this rule for hose length... High pressure: boom to floor measurement PLUS 3 ft. Foam brush: boom to floor measurement PLUS 4 ft. I find this provides convenient operation for 90–95% of the population and extends hose life by keeping them from dragging on the bay floor.
