Can you glue a piece of PVC pipe into the opening?

The guy who made the video is a moron. His responses to people who suggest he is rude by taking so long in the bay are priceless. .

Did anybody else see this segment on the NBC national news last night? I have hired a few autistic employees in the past and most of them were very good employees. (Link) Car Wash Offers Employment to Autistic Young Adults

It's called the "kicker leg" in a 3 phase Delta system. I think it is designed to assist motor starting on 3 phase the way a capacitor assists a single phase motor.

Ok Eric Wulf, I know you read this forum. You claim the ICA is trying to be a proactive organization, so what is your reaction to this advertising campaign?

The standard size of inlet piping for most central vacs is 4 inch. You can use 4 inch for the first 20 feet of a single run and then drop down to 3 inch for the remaining run. ABS works fine and is quite a bit less expensive than PVC. Just use a rubber sleeve to connect the piping to the producer.

It looks like the Domel motors have an average life span of about 800 hours. So that should work out to about 16,000 cycles at 3 minutes each. If each customer uses 2 cycles the motor should be able to service 8000 customers. Have you ever checked to see how many cycles or hours used before they...

Which way do the intakes of your blowers face? They should be facing the exit end of the wash. If at all possible only use the vinyl exit door when absolutely necessary. If the door is closed you are drawing air from the entrance of the wash instead of dry outside air.

Ships in 1 to 3 months?

I think Buda's market is largely urban. Not to many issues with bugs, mud etc.. You need to let the customers know that there are differing levels of service available at your wash either by signage or word of mouth.

Not sure what happened to the rest of your message, but I am glad someone from Sony noticed my thread. I would like to know why the shipping prices you quote are so high. It has made me think twice about placing an order with you.

Here is a capture of the same order I was going to place last week. I was wrong about the shipping, they wanted $80!

I thought that might be the case too until I placed a few orders anyways and the charges were accurate.

I have been a loyal customer of Sonnys for many years. They were my main parts supplier for anything from nozzles to pumps and other miscellaneous items. In the last year I noticed that they started charging outrageous shipping charges. I needed 2 flojet pumps and they wanted to charge me $70 to...

As a conveyor wash operator I wonder why anyone would want to own a business that is open 365/24 that would only return a profit of less than 50k. You're not buying a business, you are buying a lifestyle. My wash is open 66 hours a week which is quite enough. But at least when I close the doors...

I do have Peco mitters, but I don't use the retract system. My nearest competitor had them and removed them eventually. He was offering a touch free wash option for a while but discontinued that service. I have 2 mitters in my wash and we very rarely have a problem with them picking up something...

Peco does. http://www.pecocarwash.com/singleproduct.asp?newprod=&begin_count=5&id=7773&search=&the_type=Parts%2C+Equipment&classmain=PECO+Car+Wash+Equipment&classsub1=1-PECO+Tunnel+Equipment&classsub2=Mitting+Curtains&classsub3=&classsub4=&classsub5=&classsub6=

It needs to be lower. My wash is over 50 years old and I have steel plates on the passenger side concrete to help cars track correctly.

What kind of condition is the concrete floor on the passenger side area where you are having problems? If there is a rough spot of floor or grooves that could cause this problem. Also if there is a brush or other piece of equipment that is out of adjustment and is dragging the vehicle to the...

Earl, I just found exactly what you are looking for. Our local sports booster club is auctioning off a car and we got a wireless credit card reader from Huntington Bank. We are leasing it for $45 a month. The unit is a First data FD400GT...
