Maybe they're waiting on Bernie to announce his free car washes for everyone plan?

Good for you!!! And just think...you saved $2,497 by not using Earl's D&S distributor! :rolleyes:

A solution for residual chemical remaining in the pump would incorporate an “Off-Delay” timer on the VFD control system. When the bay time expires, all chemical solenoids will be closed. The Off-Delay then slows the pump’s motor to your lowest VFD speed setting for 5 to 10 seconds. The pump...

Yikes!!!!!!

"Divots" in the guide rails?

Possibly…the tube bundle is clogged with soot. This causes excessive heat in the combustion chamber eventually resulting in flame roll-out, damaged refractory brick, warped burner tray attachment framework, and cooked spark ignition cable.

Mep001, Just repeating what "they" say. :rolleyes: Earl, I've had way too many customers mention their "affection" for my SFR. Regardless of maintenance/repair costs, it's a keeper!

It appears you have (3) 4”x40” membranes which correlates to a 4,500 Gal/Day RO system. Unless you are using “cold” (brackish) water membranes, to produce that volume of permeate, the feed water needs to be approximately 77⁰F. In my experience, 175-200 psi is required to achieve permeate TDS...

Oh, I misunderstood your initial question. I agree with MEP001's concerns and believe you're maybe creating a future nightmare. My biggest concern…should the pump and/or control system fail, every LP system at the car wash ceases to work. Your pressure switch idea should work. However, to...

Provide city water supply to a water pressure regulator set to 10psi Regulator out to concentrate Injector In Injector Out to FloJet In Flojet Out to Solenoid manifold In Solenoid Outs to bays Set the Flojet operating pressure to satisfy your desired delivery volume. You’ll need to...

I'd probably automate that system. But, you probably already knew that. ;)

During the NFL regular season, my car wash might as well be closed at noon on game days (make that 10:00am when the team plays the early games). It’s similar to rush hour when thousands of bumper-to-bumper cars pass by and nobody’s turning in. It’s as if they don’t want to lose their place in...

The IDX MX-8 features a built in 2-sec On/Off Delay for controlling the pump output. The output can be wired to your 24 or 120v AC pump motor contactor.

Shortly after my closest and best competitor closed I began experiencing a serious problem... Major highway reconstruction, lots of dirty streets, frequent precipitation followed by sunny skies, the introduction of mag-chloride, 300 new apartments in the market area, two new office towers full...

2015 vacuum revenues were up 16% over 2014. The "clock chasers" can get another 45 seconds for their quarter. Must have been a bunch of them because quarters accounted for 34% of the total vacuum income! [Head Shaking] DITTO!

Robert Roman, Not one to blow my own horn (at least, not loudly), I too, have guided many new investors through the somewhat nerve wracking process of buying or building a new facility. Most became friends and enjoy the rewards of successful endeavors. Certainly, a few struggled due to myriad...

How about $1 for 3 minutes? It's working for me.

Natural gas bill was outrageous so I turned down the temperature on the boiler. Apparently, the resulting flue condensation dripped onto the tube bundle and created “acid rain” into the combustion chamber. Some of the refractory bricks “melted” from the moisture and the soot buildup clogged...

I sold 100s of these as standard equipment on new facilities and remodels. I’ve had them at my car wash for over 20 years. They survive use and abuse from the general public so, there’s that. They are reasonably priced and spare parts (if needed) are readily available...
