    Animal Trailers

    I get oil driller crews every week come by and wash their trucks. I walk thru and they tell me they did their best to wash the bays down. I tell them don't worry about it, I'm used to mud and grass everywhere. Some people are courteous and some are plain slobs. Especially the ones that clean...

    Getting broken key out of Abus lock

    I use o-ring picks and pull the key out far enough to grab with a small pair of needle nose pliers.

    Upgrading the Car Wash. Crypt Pay, In bay blowers, Vacuums

    Worldpay was easy to set up for me. Cryptopay installation instructions are sad. Easy for bay installation, missing info for acw installation. Like cool said, go with KR to buy them. As for in bay blowers, I'm considering getting them. Still a tossup between air shamee and turbo towel.

    Car wash on a septic system?

    I have city water and sort of a septic system. The original design for the wash I bought involved three separation tanks and then a filter system. Currently I am rebuilding the filter. My waste water from the separation tanks will eventually flow on to a bed of gravel with coconut fiber filters...

    Switched to count up today

    You will see more in the colder months. I did. Cash stayed the same, but CC usage went way up. Even more after I added undercarriage.

    Guy says 1000psi stripped his paint

    And they think that a car wash will pay up quicker than trying to get the dealer to correct it

    Guy says 1000psi stripped his paint

    I had a guy call and say my auto (vintage Magic Spray) peeled the paint off the running boards of his three day old truck. My son answered the call and told him to take it back to the dealer because you have a defective paint job. He responded by saying "That's what I thought you would say"...

    Cryptopay chargebacks

    I've had a few people forget to hit the stop button. It would help if the light changed to red when the count up started but there are wys to change that yourself. In the past year I've had maybe a couple dozen max out at 20 dollars and I think only two have complained and caused a chargeback...

    I need a manual

    I agree with Randy. When I bought my wash last year it had the TM-6 timers. All the remote was good for was to start a wash down cycle as far as I know. I replaced them with LED-6's and been happy with those. I'll look around, I think I have a manual somewhere in my pile.

    Switched to count up today

    I installed CC swipers with count up last June. I've probably had over a two dozen max out on my limit of $20. Only one customer complained and I refunded the 17.50 (2.50 to start). Some are lucky enough to have me there to teach them how to use it (they seem to not read signs). All in all, CC...

    Fighting the Freeze During Winter

    I filled my system with a automotive antifreeze mix so I'm not worried about the fluid freezing. I'm concerned about the time and energy for the water heater to heat that fluid while it's circulating.

    Fighting the Freeze During Winter

    Well MEP, I thought of that but I wanted it controlled by the weepmizer plus the timer. Didn't want the pump running circulating cold water until the water heater timer kicked in. It would take the heater way too long to heat up that water while circulating. Guess my only choice so far is to...

    Fighting the Freeze During Winter

    Ok got my rail heat going but now back to my weep mizer dilema. I want to somehow control the rail heat through the secondary output on the weep mizer but I also want to set what time it kicks on. I'm already getting ready to put a timer on the hot water heater for the rail heat, so I guess I'm...
