That’s our position. My distributor told me he has already spoken to owners all over MA that are having the same testing requirement. . It appears that this is a nationwide EPA requirement but it hasn’t been implemented in many areas YET. We have a wash in the neighboring city and haven’t had...

Going down town today to get a copy. A close friend used to be the Health dept director but he passed away 2 years ago. He would have had all the answers for me. Really great at his job! The new director is still learning the job.

The $400 is the lab the health dept contracted with to do the testing. We have to pay the bill. The testing is “only” $379 but it’s an additional $21 to dispose of the sample. The letter I received was dated Nov 4, I received it on the 8th and had a phone call on Nov 12 (the previous day was...

I’ve received a letter from our health department that they are implementing mandatory wastewater testing at all of the carwashes in the city. Cost for us is $400. Don’t know much about it except my chemical suppliers have told me that they do NOT use PFAS. Our measurable levels should be...

New phone. Who dis?

Locally there was a gas station with a Laser 4000 that used to do great numbers. It was the only touchless in the area with several SS bays and 3-4 tunnels within 3 miles. The PDQ distributor in this area was great. They did an excellent job at supporting their gas station washes. As time...

My mentor (who started in the SS business in the 60’s) once told me a 15 degree tip is best for cleaning and a 40 degree tip is best for rinsing. The 32 Degree tip was made to be a good compromise between the two. However, he still recommended using a 25 degree tip. We started with 2508 and...

Go to 1:15 and watch John’s face

WAIT!!!!….Do you need the 1”x211.5 or 3/4”x211.5? The 3/4” hose is used in Razor3, Razor EDGE and others. I think the 1” hose is for a double barrel. The added expense on the hose directly from WW seems to be because it includes a “leak protection bag”. That’s a cloth covering. I used to call...

Try Autowashonline.com you’ll probably get faster service calling. Adam and Keith are great to work with. Any local company that makes industrial hydraulic hoses should be able to make them.

Unless it is a lease to own program, in all likelihood NO. making a guess on terms for the equipment loan at 7% for 60 months with $10,000 down puts the payment at +/- $1700. Plus the $1500 lease and $200 property tax you’re at about $3400/month before water, sewer, soaps, maintenance, and...

Watched this video earlier today. Gives some more details and some additional information

My newer Razor EDGE machines have Dema valves. My older Razor 3 machines had Danfoss valves that were difficult and expensive (comparatively) to rebuild. I bit the bullet and have been changing to Demas on those older Razors. The Dema diaphragm’s are cheap and take about 2 minutes to replace...

As long as you do the ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM preventative maintenance (conveniently shown in the service reminders menu) you shouldn’t have too many issues. Beyond that there is a very detailed maintenance section in the manual. It goes into detail on what services and checks you should be doing...

Yes, the big time timer needs a programmer. I only had one of those timers in a Fragramatics carpet shampoo vac. The sales guy from my distributor would borrow the programmer from someone else and use it to change prices. Maybe some kind owner here will lend you a programmer

I was trying to find a link but I can’t even find the IDX website. They used to give out a small catalog at the ICA show. I may have bought them from mouser.com but it’s been quite a few years

Can’t help with your problem but you can buy replacement numbers for that old Big Time timer. They are very easy to replace.

Definitely go with dried corn stalks. Gives the place a real Children of the Corn feel.

My local sign shop has the template for my Carolina Pride decals. Any sign shop can make them up. I can connect you to my guy be his shop Is in MA.
