    Jim coleman fast track

    I've only seen the ads in the "trades" (JCC hasn't updated their website) but it looks like an "updated" version of the HydroSpray Cobra from the Ohio days. It then went to Sonny's for a few months, then to Oasis for a cup of coffee, and finally it shows up again at JCC.? I installed a few...

    Using Wind Shield Washer Fluid Vs. Straight Methanol for FB

    Have you seen the news about the "cold snap" in Denver? My thermometer showed -5 at my house this morning. I have a different method. Instead of a product "additive", my system introduces RTU washer fluid into the exposed plumbing/hoses. In operation, When temps approach freezing, each...

    Using Wind Shield Washer Fluid Vs. Straight Methanol for FB

    I've been using washer fluid for at least 5 years to protect my Foam Brushes and Foam Guns. Temp last night was below zero. Nothing's frozen this morning! I buy cases at Sam's Club and keep a 15gal container filled. My Fire Marshal frowns on me having more than that in the equipment room. I...

    2 issues, weeps & trough heat

    My suggestions: 1. Replace all of the spray tips prior to adjustment. Since water seeks the easiest path, the eroded tips from the busy bays will starve the lesser used bays for weep water. 2. Replace the ball valves with Globe valves. Ball valves are nearly impossible, while Globe valves are...

    Reviews on Air Logic Equipt

    While I have no experience with Air Logic specifically, my experience with Kip’s brass solenoid manifolds has been quite positive. My former employer’s systems are very similar to Air Logic…wall-mount, FloJet G57, Kip solenoid manifolds, push-to-connect fittings, etc. Their low pressure...

    Tankless Water Heater For Floor Heat

    Rudy, How about the Johnson Controls A419? They also offer a brass submersion well for the sensor that could be teed into the return piping.

    P.S. & T.C. Check Valves?

    Jeff, Because of the easy discharge path through the foam gun nozzles, the chemical pumps will not produce enough back pressure to open the idle solenoid's plunger...unless you plumb it crazy...and you're not likely to do that.?!?

    Bays accepting dollar bills and also dispensing dollar coins from changers

    I like $1 coins from the changers, especially with no meter box bill acceptors. Just insure that every POS accepts $1 coins AND quarters. I switched to dispensing $1 coins only in 1999. I'm still amazed that customer’s quarters still provide 20% of the cash sales in the bays and 33% of the...

    Metal Content for Quarters being considered by Congress at last Wednesday's Hearing

    Exactly! Those with last century's acceptors will have to either upgrade or decide which version of the quarter to accept. How many didn't update their bill validators when the $20, $10, and $5 notes were introduced? We deal with it and move on...right? Surely, the change will be touted by...

    fixing in-floor heat instead of replacing the whole floor.

    Or, you could try a bottle of Fix A Leak for about $40. It's worked astonishingly well for me. http://www.fixaleak.com

    Where to sell used baydoors and other equipment?

    Pretty slick how you did that. Ask a question on a car wash forum about where to advertise car wash stuff for sale. Got anything left? :D

    Does anyone build a Rear / Equipment Room Access Meter Box ?

    Any "vault ready" meter box will work for your 2 bays...just add 45 degree elbows to the coin outlets and hang buckets from them to catch the coins inside the equipment room.

    Snack Vending Machine

    I've had a "indoor" Crane bolted to the wall, under the canopy, next to my changers for about 10 years. Purchased it from a local vending machine dealer. Except for having to replace a few shelf wiring harnesses, it's been very reliable.

    foam brush

    Common problem with both bays indicates pump or pump control failure. Is the system fitted with a motorized pump or air-powered pump?

    How about having a siding contractor fill in those 2' and then, insulate the underside of the roof?

    Waterl in air compressor oil

    I’ve experienced a compressor tank filling with water due to a leaking presoak or tire cleaner check valve. This particular operator had low pressure products plumbed to the bay manifolds with high pressure hose. The leaking check valve allowed high pressure wash/rinse/wax back down the...
