    Help with Hoses/Tubes (upgrades)

    Hey Guys, I bought an old wash that I have owned for a year now. I have upgraded all the hoses/tubes from the equipment room to the booms. Ive done new meter boxes, guns, brushes, etc... basically everything the consumer comes in contact with. I am looking at updating my hoses and tubes...

    Pump options for Spot Free

    So it sounds like this might be out of my realm of skill set, lol. I am assuming these procon pumps aren't "ready to go" like the flojet pumps!? When my solenoid turns on it just starts pumping the low pressure function that they are choosing on the meter box. I'll try to find a guy local...

    Pump options for Spot Free

    Mac, what is a multiplexer and what does it do? I have never heard of that before. Randy, I want to say they are set around 90PSI.

    Pump options for Spot Free

    Mac, Right now I am running Dema 401 solenoids...it looks like they are rated for 150PSI. What solenoids would you recommend me using? Also can you send me a picture on how I would attach the regulator to the Procon Pump? Does this procon pump just plug into the wall?

    Pump options for Spot Free

    I bought a wash exactly a year ago and the low pressure functions are run from 4 Flojet Santo pumps. Spot free is one of those options and while I have never gotten a complaint, I am at my wash ALOT, and Ive noticed that people will start with it and see how long it will take due to the lack of...

    Equipment Room Door Lock

    I put a iron security door on the front of my "regular" door when I bought my place a year ago. Anything can obviously be broken into but I just feel like its a great deterrent to go find one without the security door. Cost me about $500 installed

    Help!! High pressure soap problem!

    Update: Apparently I got some trash in 4 solenoids at the same time. That's what was so weird and confusing to me that they all got stuck open at the same time. Thanks for the help!!

    Help!! High pressure soap problem!

    Upon further inspection, it actually looks like it might be the wax that's coming through when I turn it to rinse. What should I be checking?

    Help!! High pressure soap problem!

    I'm only 10 months in so I have no idea what's wrong! I have high pressure soap coming out of all my high pressure functions. Even when I turn the knob to rinse and wax, high pressure soap still comes out. It's happening in every single Bay! What do I do!? Thanks so much in advance.

    Cryptopay statement question?

    I have never heard of this, but I just had it all installed about 6 months ago? I guess I need to call them!?

    Cryptopay statement question?

    My fees have been averaging around 5-6%. This month they were almost 9.5%. I noticed a large fee on there called "regulatory compliance fee" for $79.50. This was the huge difference. Anyone have any knowledge of this? Thanks, Troy

    Good book or place to learn about how car washes work from a technical perspective?

    Ive only been in the wash business for 5 months, so I would love it as well! I will say that at my wash the pre-soak does not run as you described. I have 4 flo jet pumps that run presoak, FB, Spot Free, and Tire Cleaner. I have learned a TON on here and just by trial and error. I have seen...

    Flojet/Compressor problem

    Unfortunately I purchased this wash 5 months ago so I wasn't there during the break in period. I will say I haven't had any problems with the flojets until the last month in which the generator use has gone up. I try to drain the tank once a week, maybe that isn't enough? I assumed with the...
